Kids shirts giveaway initiative

  • Actually when I see that at present the plan is to pay full RRP of £45 per shirt, for what is a volume purchase, shouldn't both the club and its supplier consider a discount?
    Isn’t the club, ie TS, effectively already selling them at half price ?

    Noticed it tries to charge me 99p to use my card on PayPal, is there a way to avoid that? I put it as a gift, which I thought was free. I’d obviously rather the 99p went on the shirts than to PayPal, especially if there’s hundreds of people with the same issue 
    This must be because of the type of card you are using. Certainly if you use a Debit card on a UK bank nothing is charged and I am pretty sure the same applies to most UK credit cards.

    I had to pay the 99p sadly but only because I'm outside the UK! I believe it's only a free transaction if you're living in the UK though I don't know your circumstances Bow.

    I think this is a great idea, I’m a Luddite Unfortunately, but I would like to donate I haven’t got PayPal, I’m not on Facebook etc. How can I?
    @CharltonKerry if you still need to do this and you've got internet/phone banking, I could put your £2 in for you and you could send me the £2 to my bank a/c.

    I'm happy to do this for anyone else who doesn't have PayPal and can't get to the shop.
    Would you mind doing £20 for me please. I’m will willingly send it to you prior to passing it on. I won’t be able to send it for a couple of hours, as I’m working. 
    @CharltonKerry Only just seen this - if you'd have sent me a direct message or pointed your post at me, I'd have seen it sooner.  If you still need it done, send me a DM and I'll send you my bank details.

    @BowSelecta are you using a debit or a credit card?  If a debit card, there shouldn't be any fee.  If a credit card, there will probably be a fee because the credit card company will charge PayPal a fee.  Did you see the bit on page 2 about doing it via bank transfer? Debbie's a/c details are there.

    would be a nice gesture from Hummel to offer them at cost price

    Bank transfer made. A great initiative to help out at this exceptionally difficult time. A happy by-product will be to have more local children wearing Charlton shirts (shades of Andy Holt's excellent initiative at Accrington Stanley)

    As someone who nearly got scammed last week on a dodgy Ted Baker website it leaves you feeling stupid and loss of confidence in on line banking so thank you for all the reassurances about this scheme. It's restored my confidence, made me even prouder to support this great club - and donation has been safely and securely sent.
  • Money sent. Well done Debbie/Lee and all others involved!
  • Great initiative - money sent by PayPal.

    It’s from that famous scene in ‘Allo Allo’ when the French policeman, who is really an English spy in disguise, tells Rennie the resistance group won’t be meeting at its headquarters
