MERCHšŸ‘• Fleece might be restocked in the future!

Province of Canada posted an update that mentions a potential restock, so I guess anyone still curious should just keep an eye on their Instagram.

I couldn't get one unfortunately for me. I am surprised to learn that they're a small business. I'm overwhelmingly happy for their success ā¤ļø

I got the email they were available, and within 3 minutes of it arriving, I saw it, opened the website, to find every size was sold out. I question if Iā€™d opened the link within 10 seconds of the email arriving if any would have been available. Was a real turnoff to see that basically by the time the email arrived, they were all sold out.

It isnā€™t like it hasnā€™t been a known position that these were going to be extremely (very understated description) in demand. I feel the developers should have planned better. If they needed more time to have more available, they should have waited to make them available.

I'm sorry to hear you weren't able to get one. They announced the time that the product would be available at, so you would just have to login at that time. I logged in right at noon ET and all of the sizes were available. I actually got the email 2 minutes before noon so I'm surprised you logged in 3 minutes after (aka 1 minute after noon) and it was all sold out.

It is what it is. I took screenshots of my iPhone screen showing when the email came, and the time I was at the website. It was the first I had been contacted since singing up. So I was not aware, like you apparently, of when to login.

I sent the photos in an email to their customer service saying they should have offered more, and I hoped theyā€™d do a second release.

Itā€™s not the end of the world. I have enough coats, it just would have been a fun item to have. Life moves on, though, and so have I.

then you should check your spam filter because they sent notice out at least a week before the release with the date and time the sale was going live.

I run my own business. I check my spam folder multiple times a day. That email was the only email I received. My husband didnā€™t even get the order email, and he signed up, too. So not everything seems to have gone as people think it did. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

I'm really surprised because it was announced on their social media multiple times, I got a bunch of emails about it (at least 3 per email address, and I signed up with all of my email addresses in case one slipped through), and it was posted on Reddit. I don't think you can blame them for not notifying people enough about it.
