This does mean that the shirts will be sent out a little later than originally suggested, but we believe that it is of the utmost importance that everyone ends up with a shirt that they look great wearing


I do remember when signing up it did say allow 4 - 6 weeks for arrival, so that would have put them between the end of April to through this week. We shall see.

Yesterday was 6 weeks from the day the site opened.

And the date they sent the email saying they haven't sent anything, nor taken any steps yet to help anyone out. And that now the shirts would be sent out by the end of this month.

Lame. Bad business.

Also from

the email:

The deadline for size changes will be 5pm PST this Friday, May 7th. T-Shirts will be sent by USPS as soon as possible after this date and "should be" in the mail by the end of the month


Just as they sent this email yesterday, to correct the confusion about sizes, they surely could have done so when the orders first went in. I know I've seen several posts around here during that time expressing concerns about the sizes.

Instead, they waited until y'all were running to your mailboxes every day expecting the arrival of your t-shirts and coming here to post your disappointment, to say they haven't even been ordered yet because of some confusion that was expressed weeks ago and y'all "should" get them by the end of this month.

This is just simply another on a long list of bad business practices by someone who has been in this business way long enough to know, that is just not how you treat your fans!

That's exactly why I didn't join up this time because I finally got sick of paying to be treated with such disregard but hey, y'all have at it. I can clearly see what I'm missing out on. shrug
I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart.

lol Ms. Hatrina, nope, I haven't been checking my mailbox for the t-shirts because they said it would take about 4-6 weeks for delivery. When I order books from Amazon, and they tell me to expect a book I ordered in about 4-6 weeks, sometimes it does not arrive within that time frame, and they send me an email letting me know it will be delayed. I never stressed over when the t-shirt would arrive, as I expected there may be a delay.

Now with the "size" issue. I believe they may have gotten quite a few emails because as stated, some people didn't put which size they wanted when they ordered, or was joining the site so fast they may have missed putting in the size. So I guess from that email, they're giving some folks a chance to correct it before they send them out obviously. I will let you know when I receive mine. I gather within 1 or 2 more weeks, since I did put what size t-shirt I wanted at the time of order. No, I'm not excusing that site for any delays or not saying they shouldn't be up to par, but whenever I've ordered stuff from other companies, there has been delays. We shall see. Maybe they are still in the process of hiring extra help to assist in situations like this and keep track of the orders.

Secondly, hopefully some new content will appear magically on the site, as even if he added one new video per month, one cannot say it's not updated monthly with something. lol Just sayin'. I remember when they used to update the e reflection room every Friday on the npgmc site, and they would add a song from the past... and then there was the glam slam room with a new song as well.

With all the videos that he has, I hope he isn't stingy (do people still use that term "stingy" lol ) and will add some new videos, maybe a past interview or something. The site is surely starving for some new material at this point. I guess he meant it when he said "No more candy 4 U" so I guess he will share whatever content he wants with us..but you'd think he'd share some popcorn with us or something....a cookie maybe? (j/k) lol

Never got this damn email, and I signed up the very first day the club opened. I'm pissed!!!!! I just sent Lotusflow3r an email, inquiring about it. Hopefully, they will respond. If I don't get this T-shirt, I'm going to be additionally pissed!!!! I don't understand this at all, since I received emails from Lotusflow3r in the past, and now, nothing. pissed pissed

While I appreciate them wanting to allow everyone a chance to get their size right, that's a lame excuse for being late. It doesn't take a MONTH for people to respond to an email with their correct size, nor to organize that data once it's received. They're simply not ready when they said they would be.

This is extremely disappointing. Of course, I'm not surprised. But once again, this is bad, bad business.
This is almost exactly what I said on another site. I got my size right in the first place so now I have to wait til the fix everyone else's? Then almost a whole other month waiting? Tacky.

the part that irks me about it is that it took them what, the 6 weeks they said it would take to get the shirt JUST to get it together enough to send out this email? when they knew there were T-shirt order issues since day 1?

ridiculous. i wouldn't be surprised, but it's still ridiculous. they're just now getting around to it when it's already supposed to be here.
