Those baggage tags

I know that it's not a BA issue but someone here gave me the details to order FT baggage tags, which I did a month ago.
No sign of anything yet.
Apart from the paypal confirmation I've received nothing else and can't see any way of following this up. Does anyone here know?
It's only a small amount but still ....

Probably best to contact them here CafePress | Help Buying

I think HIDDY ordered some a few decades ago

Yes ... I paid my $4 to Internet Brands through PayPal on 20 Feb. Nothing seen or heard since.

Maybe they are on a slow boat via China!
Edit:
I have no transaction number, as only the paypay email was received and only mugs appear when searching there for Flyertalk items.

My understanding of this is contact Internet Brands in the 'contact us' section at the bottom of this page and in the drop down menu click on 'Other' and put in your complaint (theres' a section to include your email address)

You bought them through this site so that's where I'd explore first.

Done!
For the phone number (not that they are likely to call me) it won't accept + or 00 and so not enough spaces.
It's designed for companies to contact them so I entered "private individual" in the relevant field!
Apologies for hi-jacking the BA forum for this.

Let us know how you get on?

I'm no consumer law expert but was using the logic like buying a BA ticket through a TA is really no different from buying a Tag through Internet Brands for a luggage tag.

I could be completely wrong though! (and happy to be corrected here)

I any case, good luck!

I had to wait a while for ours IIRC.They were a different design to the modern version. The missus didn't like them so they got ditched. She said they masked the BA F tag.

If this had been BA, the advice would have been to jump straight to chargeback and/or a legal claim…

I bought some quite a few years ago; they were awful, huge yellow things. I threw them away.

If the design is the same then you’ve had a stroke of luck not getting them!

Just checked and the ones in the store now seem quite different compared to the old ones.

Personally, I always hated that they said 'priority' as it was clearly not a priority tag and just felt like someone sticking a sticker that said priority on the bag and hoping to get special treatment or something.

This isn't a BA issue, and as moderators we have no knowledge of the supply process or influence over it, but we accept there's not really a single suitable forum in which to query this.

I'm going to tag our main contact at Internet Brands, who own FT, in the hope he can shed some light on the timescales to help everyone.

Paging @IBobi ...

They have arrived! Posted from Internet Brands HQ in CA on 19 April, $0.84c postage.

Finest vegan leather, and infinitely preferable to the previous laminated plastic sheet. I shall wear it with pride on my Yellow Backpack!
