I know a lot of people here love to bitch about the "official campaign," so I thought I'd try the opposite.

I ordered some stuff (Tshirts, car magnets, etc) from the campaign store at RonPaul2012.com during the BTO money bomb.

I was shocked when I got a knock on the door a couple of hours ago from the Fedex guy delivering my stuff.

Only about 48 hours from the time I ordered, that's pretty impressive. I remember one of the orders I made during the '08 campaign took forever to arrive.

And now I'll look fashionable at the Home Depot this weekend in my new Ron Paul 2012 gear :)

Out of curiosity, did you all get an email confirming your order?

I received an email confirmation for my order which was at about 2 hours into the moneybomb and then shipment notification for that order. However, in my money only donation at 9pm CST I received no confirmation, though it was processed successfully.

Mine is supposed to be arriving tomorrow. I got an email confirming my donation and then I got confirmation that my order had been picked up.
The last stuff I got came within a week as well. Much more on top of things this time around. :)

They are very efficient. Whoever is running it is doing an excellent job.

Why are people still complaining about the "official campaign"? In 2008, they were soft in their approach to opponents, produced high school quality ads, seemed disorganized, etc. This time around, however, they have been very impressive. They've been going after their opponents with facts, appear to be much better organized, and their ads have been spectacular. The 2008 campaign drove me crazy. The 2011 campaign has been great.

Great to hear! I remember the moaning from 4 years ago ;)

The campaign is much better organised this time in many ways although still can improve some (donation button on facebook page being an obvious oversight and other online (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?313557-Campaign-Desperately-Needs-a-New-Media-Team-with-Proper-Funding) things. Still great that the Campaign Store is in full working order. :D

My last one was about 5 days (I'm in PA)... They forgot my sign posts! Lol. I figure I'll just pick up a few once our general election is over. So much faster than 07-08 though. I remember waiting more than a month at one point!

I haven't seen much complaining...just folks wishing someone woul tell Ron to interject himself into more debate questions (a non issue for tye most part at the NV debate.)

I have no complaints with 2011 HQ. The 07-08 HQ made me regret donating... they dumped so much money down the drain. But this time, they are on the ball, know what they're doing, are killing it with the ds they put out, have everything running smoothly, etc. If someone would just take Ron to get a tailored suit or 2, they'd be perfect.

I didn't receive any confirmation either :/ but seeing as this happened for many others, I'm not worried. This is the first time I have bought anything from the store (I normally just donate, did both this time), so didn't know if this was normal or not.

Can't wait to get my T-shirt and hoodie! :)

I purchased a hoodie, 4 yard signs and a car magnet during BTO.

I have also not received an email or confirmation from the campaign.

My first two orders this year both included yard signs and took a little while to process, however with my order this week I included no yard signs and my order was promptly shipped. I am assuming based on my experiences, that due to the sheer size of the packaging, it may take slightly longer for orders including a sign.

I dunno, the campaign this time around has been doing a great job for the most part. Ads are better, store supplies are better, and I love the fact that they aren't scared shitless of promoting ideas that are donated to them by various people that are not part of the "Official" grassroots.

I did get a sign, so you are probably right on this. It's really no big deal and I'm just impatient! I think the campaign has been kicking butt this time around.

I got my swag pretty quickly several months ago.

Just wish they'd have made the sign fonts consistent with everything else.

Just wanted to report that I heard back from the campaign and they said they got a flood of orders from the BTO moneybomb (of course), but that my order was received and will be processed within the next 4 days. I should be getting it next week some time.

So if you didn't get an email confirmation, I wouldn't worry about it just yet. Looks like they are just backed up. I don't know why some got theirs so quickly while others are waiting. Makes me think the yard signs might have something to do with it.

I can't wait to put my yard sign out!!

Not a biased opinion there all ^^ hehe

Glad there wasn't an issue with not receiving the confirmation email.

No confirmation mail for me either, but my mom's BTO order arrived yesterday! Lots of signs. :)

I ordered a gray sweatshirt and they sent me the brown one. I'm not even going to complain though..I'll just order a gray one in the next moneybomb!
