And thank you for all your selfless acts of courage. Braving the cardboard box jungle and returning to tell the tale is no laughing matter. Few would’ve fared as well as you guys did.
Lina V. said on August 2, 2012
We salute JD’s unfailing courage.
Al said on August 2, 2012
Salute?! Actually I was thinking more along the lines of genuflection… But saluting works too.

Go team *Hi5*
pedgz said on August 1, 2012
i’d like to have a photo of that as well, but with julia, lina or any female ubiworkshop employee instead of a guy. come to think of it, make that pic above for the female customers and a female model pic for the male customers. (@)
kidding aside, glad to know the hoodies are coming. i look forward to them.
apir!
Conner said on August 1, 2012
Thanks for the update. Glad it all is working out.
Corneliu Comendant said on August 1, 2012
What if my order doesn’t have a desmond hoodie but a Dev Team restocked one? Will it be shipped soon?
Andre said on August 1, 2012
Thanks for the update!
(Desmond)
Woot!!!
Jonathan Diamonon said on August 1, 2012
@ceekay they probably wouldnt completely set aside other products awaiting shipments to divert attention to the desmond hoodies. its that the desmond hoodies have been highly anticipated. when did you order the team hoodie? my beaked hoodie shipped maybe 2-4 days after i placed the order
Moshe Dorfman said on August 1, 2012
YAY!
Freddy Franco said on August 1, 2012
Oh Thank You
Can I hear An Amen!!!
pedgz said on August 2, 2012

Freddy Franco said on August 1, 2012

Fae said on August 2, 2012
I know the 8 month wait will totally be worth it, I’m just hoping they still fit… ;_;

Thanks for the update!
LooneyTexan said on August 2, 2012
it must be sunny out there. it does look like he’s gotten a very nice tan. and what’s up with the striped shirt? you should be sporting a ubiworkshop creation when taking pictures!
Al said on August 2, 2012
Oh, but it is a creation of UbiWorkshop. A prototype that they’re teasing. The stripes coverge on the back into the abstergo logo. That’s right!
JD is a templar which explains why the hoodies were delayed.
Anja R. said on August 2, 2012

Danny Cifuentes said on August 2, 2012

Jonathan Diamonon said on August 5, 2012
theyd probably ship my hoodie the very last day >______>
Sam said on August 5, 2012
I think same for me, so your not alone :p
Austin said on August 6, 2012
I got standered shipping so those ones will be shipped last i bet
Austin said on August 6, 2012
Will all the people who ordered theam before the 23 will those be shippied first (They should) but still wondering?
Dawn Miner said on August 8, 2012
I’ll believe it when I see it. I will never order from this site again. Ridiculous.
Sam said on August 8, 2012
see what? you just need to have patience my friend
not easy for them to to handle thousands of orders. they are just a small team
Austin said on August 9, 2012
Me too I want it so bad that I have been at home for a week now waiting to see if it comes but sure enought the havent even shipped mine and its 11:43 there so im really mad
Sam said on August 9, 2012
have you also been waiting for months? well, the good thing about this place is that it is the most reliable place you can buy desmond hoodies, you can try ebay but i bet that its really hard to find something that is good and rather cheep. if you find a ubiworkshop hoodie there, it will cost a lot more than the original price.
Saosin said on August 8, 2012
I ordered mine back in March, so mine is supposed to be shipped between the 1st – 8th…. Nearly the 8th and still no tracking code for my shipment. Hope I get it tomorrow.
I’ve worked in a shipping department before, so I do have total sympathy for when a order gets held up by something that’s out of your control. That said, when you post a picture of the item finally arriving and a shipping time window, that puts a lot of pressure to deliver.
angel rodriguez said on August 8, 2012
I’m scared of the fact that the one i ordered in january hasn’t shipped by today (august 8) and that the white one i ordered last week went from awaiting pickup back to awaiting fulfillment. I really love ubiworkshop but please don’t let me down like this. i would understand if the delay caused it to come later but now with you saying that it will leave by the 8th and it hasn’t is making me question buying from you again…. I would love to here an explanation for both of my problems.
Saosin said on August 8, 2012
From my understanding, the only extra White Hoodies they got in were XL (or XXL, I forget).
Even then, they only had like 10 extra of those
That means that any other size (or if you ordered too late) in the White Hoodie still
needs to be shipped from China, hence the ‘awaiting fulfillment’.
Austin said on August 9, 2012
I dont think I will ever order from here becasuse its the 8th and Im awaiting shipment. Yeah yeah I know theres not a lot of people working there but really.
LooneyTexan said on August 9, 2012
patience is a virtue. if you ordered it after July 23, it will only ship after Aug 9. they need to clear the orders that were made months before the later ones are shipped out. mine is awaiting pickup. looking forward to it when they get here.
Saosin said on August 9, 2012
I ordered mine March 10th and I’m still awaiting shipment….
Patience is a virtue, but it’s not an excuse for giving out timetables
that you can’t deliver on.
LooneyTexan said on August 9, 2012
I wouldn’t be surprised if they are working late into the night lovingly packing everything by hand to be picked up by the postal services or something in the morning. They want to get rid of the stock as quickly as they can (they have lost their lounge and couch and desks to make way for the boxes). The orders are by the thousands. That’s alot of stuff to process. Sometimes certain orders take a while to fulfill because the box with the specific hoodie is right at the bottom of the stack.
Perhaps you should consider doing something other than staying glued to your computer screen refreshing the page to see if the status for your order changed. It will help with the waiting.
Adam Schultz said on August 9, 2012
ok, i ordered my hoodie way back in february and it is still awaiting shipment. my only question is why
Austin said on August 9, 2012
Me too i got mine in Febuary its really annoing im not happy with theam at all right now
zakk said on August 9, 2012
they shouldn’t have given out dates if they knew they couldn’t deliver. It seems they kinda have a problem with jumping the gun seeing as if i remember correctly when i ordered mine(march 9th) they were suppose to ship in may. no disrespect to ubiworkshop their merch is quite awesome but hopefully the print they send us for waiting so long makes up for all the time
Saosin said on August 9, 2012
This is EXACTLY my complaint. For all the people claiming that we are “suffering from
, they need to understand what we’re frustrated by. I have no
patience problems”
problem when the order getting stuck because it was coming by boat from China. I am
sympathetic towards those issues as I know what it’s like to be in there situation, so I
have no problem waiting in that regard.
The problem here is that they announced from the rooftops that they finally have the
product and then they gave out a shipping time frame that they clearly couldn’t fulfill.
If they had never given out that 1st-8th time frame, I think there would be a lot less
frustration by those of us who ordered WELL before July 23rd and are still sitting here
waiting.
Kinan Eldari said on August 9, 2012
To those of you who are clearly suffering form patience problems: relax. if you waited since the begining of the year like I did, then a little more patience won’t hurt. It’d do our generation some good to learn said patience in a world where pretty much every whim of ours is fulfilled and obeyed within minutes. : )
so relax. they’ll get there.
Lexter said on August 9, 2012
I ordered mine before July 23 and its August 09 now…
Just saying…
Saosin said on August 9, 2012
Tomorrow will be exactly 5 months waiting for me.
Still on Awaiting Shipment btw.
Amanda Turner said on August 9, 2012
So, I’ve been lurking around on this thread for a while. I’ve decided to share some good news after seeing some of the posts.
I received my hoodie yesterday! (After patiently waiting for 5 months…)
However, my status still said it was “Awaiting Shipment”, like everybody else. It only updated to “Shipped” later in the day with no tracking number. I live in Montreal, so I figure it must’ve been shipped at least 2 days ago.
So, I hope this is proof that Ubiworkshop is making the effort to get all the hoodies out in time.
Just hang in there for a bit longer guys, they’re coming.
P.S.: The print is awesome, Ubiworkshop. It’s going on my wall once I find a frame for it. Thanks!
Shunrai
Sam said on August 9, 2012
nice!! can’t wait for the print. i’ve gone crazy lately, checking my e-mail every minute
Amanda Turner said on August 9, 2012
I did the same too. You won’t be disappointed with the print.
It’s not the photo at the top of the page, if anyone’s wondering.

Sawyer said on August 12, 2012
Kinda upset cuz I ordered this jacket in April, but it got shipped 2 days ago on the tenth. Kinda unfair that even though I ordered way before July, I get shipped LATE. AGAIN. I’m happy it’s finally shipped, but I think this has been my worst online shopping experience.
Al said on August 13, 2012
Ever heard of the recent problems with some manufacturers in China? Workers complaining of low pay, unfair treatment, poor living/working conditions… It may very well be that the hoodie suppliers followed Foxxcon’s path, thereby causing a huge delay that was out of Ubiworkshop’s control. Please note that if this is the case, it is the resposibility of their employers, not Ubiworkshop, to keep the workforce happy and healthy.
This is just speculation.
Sawyer said on August 13, 2012
I understand why the hoodies have taken so long to get to Ubiworkshop, but I don’t understand why even though they say on the site that any hoodie before like 7/23 gets shipped before 8/8. And I ordered mine around 4/10 so they still delayed the shipping. That’s a ubiworkshop shipping error.
Al said on August 13, 2012
Not sure if you’re aware of this but a couple days ago they announced that order status, email notifications, etc were delayed because of a change in their update system and shipping partner. Most of the hoodies were already shipped on time even if the status says otherwise.
JAGG said on August 12, 2012
I placed my order on 21st Jan 2012 and my hoodie got shipped on august 9 2012….
seriously Ubiworkshop?
seriously?!
It was supposed to be of the firsts to get shipped because I ordered it way back on january.
I’m very disappointed.
Al said on August 13, 2012
There were many factors out of their control that attributed to the delay. One of the reasons is the overwhelming number of orders placed way back in January and before that, how could you possibly know that you were one of the first to place an order? Hundreds of people were already lined up therefore pushing you to the back of the deadline.
I hope after we cool our heels we can realize that UbiWorkshop will try their very best to make up for this mistake, to learn from them and also release new products that may interest you.
Matthew said on August 13, 2012
I ordered mine on Jan 19th the second they announced it, bud. Stop complaining and get over it.
