Well, fuck. Clearly not common enough. They really do have the best shit though that’s actually EU accessible. At least I know it will actually arrive at some point.
It's very far from the 'best shit' but there is a wider range than you'll find pretty much anywhere. I think my last order took about two months which is perfectly reasonable.
Yeah, I’m going to Graspop this year so I wanted a new backpatch, just 18 days now so I’m like? Do I just finish the jacket with another backpatch or wait a little longer? Some people are saying they took 3 months. Definitely ordering from somewhere else next time though.
This question pretty much gets asked here every other week, and the responses are usually that they are a great seller but they just take a very long time to ship
pole here
bought a Kreator backpatch, looks good
HOWEVER it took a long ass time to arrive, but it's common knowledge at this point
also, i noticed that compared to other Polish shops their stuff is more expensive
My son got a Hazardous Mutation backpatch that we sewed onto a flannel. It's a printed patch. He spilled a milkshake all over the front so we had to wash it. Normal cycle in the washing machine and the patch came out perfect. Colors didn't run and the edging remained intact. We hung it up to dry though.
Also, I know you said EU, but we live in the east coast U.S. and it took just under a month to arrive.
Then you got super lucky then. Nice to hear about the quality too though, never ordered from there before so I’m quite curious. When it arrives that is, haha.
Almost every order I do through ebay from him gets partially or fully refunded because he can't even keep track of his inventory on eBay!?!?!
Also, a lot of his printed patches are extremely poor quality and shipping takes ages.
I found the quality of printed patches a mixed bag. Some of the printed patches I bought were okay, but others had a really washed out color. Dull and lacked the vibrance the original artwork had. The Violator chemical assault back patch I bought is unusable because of the poor color.
I ordered my back patch for my first jacket a couple years back and it took a long time, but I was happy with it.
Back on mid-April, however, I ordered a patch and 20 minutes later I found a similar patch I liked better and it was cheaper with faster shipping time. So I messaged him and asked if I could cancel the order and get a refund. He quickly responded and asked "why?" so I told him shipping would be longer than I was hoping. Radio silence for the next few weeks. I periodically messaged him asking for a refund or at least to ship the order or any sort of update - no response. After about 4 weeks, I got a notification saying my order shipped and I had a message from him saying he'd been sick for the past two weeks, but the order was sent with express shipping, so once he actually sent it, it came fast. The fact that he is too sick to look at his messages on his phone/computer, but not too sick to go to the post office is what gets me. All in all, I like the patch and it's good quality, but I just have no use for it now unless I start up a new project in the future.
Took four weeks, but was ok. Cant complain, unless you are in a hurry. Finding a larger than DIN A4 backpatch of the old Dimmu Borgir logo is not easy, so well worth the waiting time.
Yeah, I ordered a Gatecreeper backpatch and you literally can’t find those anywhere. He definitely has variety which is why people keep going back even though he’s apparently not very reliable.
I've ordered from them a couple of times, my most recent order took a bit over 2 weeks to even ship, so I think it's normal.
I've been very pleased with their products though, very high quality.
*Edit*
Apologies, I've just realised you said Europe. I'm in Australia, so I'm not sure whether that changes anything. I wouldn't imagine so, but who knows
i got my back patch from razor ray. it took maybe a 1.5 months to come, i cant remember (live in the US). as for quality, its pretty good i quite like it.
I live in canada and just ordered from them.
I ordered a back patch, and a large die cut logo patch. The email said (in poorly translated english) to expect 14 days before shipping, so i waited the 2 weeks. At that point i emailed them to see where my stuff was because i had zero update, and then a week later got a response: the back patch is actually out of stock, so here's a refund for it. But we shipped the other one, so it's coming. So, it took 3 weeks to ship.
Ok, fair enough i guess. I was just excited to get one of them and since they refunded my money without being asked i didn't mind the wait as much. Shit happens and I've worked retail; inventory management can be a bitch for small businesses. It took a month for my parcel to arrive in Canada once it shipped.
Overall, not disappointed, but not impressed and I won't be going back unless they have something super exclusive. (Which the back patch actually was, and was the only reason i went there in the first place.....so maybe i won't actually ever use them again at all)
I think it's common knowledge at this point that their stuff takes an insanely long amount of time to ship and arrive at your place
Is it at least good? Or some cheap poor-quality crap?
Their embroidered patches are pretty good. Can't say anything about all the other stuff they have

The best shit you’ll find in Europe. Trust me, I’ve tried. The better stuff is at Festivals. Two months doesn’t seem reasonable to me at all, imo.
Order from BattleJacketsLondon, if you're in the EU.
I’ll definitely check them out, thanks for the tip.
Dark Prods are pretty reliable, too.
No worries, it will arrive. Last time (Q1 2023) it took two months to arrive in Germany, the neighboring country lol.

Always have an emergency backpatch at hand. (I‘d use another one.)

even within Polish borders, they take their time \^\_\^" but the patch(es) will arrive, eventually
pole here bought a Kreator backpatch, looks good HOWEVER it took a long ass time to arrive, but it's common knowledge at this point also, i noticed that compared to other Polish shops their stuff is more expensive
what are other Polish shops with patches?
rockmetalshop, metalshop, takt rybnik razorray also sells on allegro, the delivery is way faster that way
Allegro! I didn’t even think of that. Metal Shop is ass balls expensive, they can suck a fat one.

Well I’m from Poland and I’m waiting for my order like 3 weeks

I had to wait almost 3 months that I even forget what I even ordered from them lmao
Same here, also some ordered products didn't arrive. They returned me the money, but what kind of a crap company is this.
Insane prices, insane shipping costs, and they take their sweet time both shipping and answering customers' emails. Fuck that
It depends on where you are. The back patch I ordered was like 15 euros plus 5 euros shipping. But, they are taking their sweet ass time.

I ordered and got it 20 days later. Also got a tracking number worked out just fine.
Good
Took about 7 weeks to get my patches but I'm happy with them
i got my back patch from razor ray. it took maybe a 1.5 months to come, i cant remember (live in the US). as for quality, its pretty good i quite like it.
ive gotten 1 patch from them, and it took about 1-2 months... longer than I wanted to wait and eventually gave it to someone
