    Does anyone know when online ordering will be reinstated?

    No clue, but have always had better luck calling UKHQ...you'd be surprised what they sometimes have available in your size. Have found some deals that hadn't made it to the scratch and dent list yet and were fine.

    I know, it's hard to believe, but WAAAY back in the late 20th century, back before EBay, and when shopping carts were made from metal and not PHP code, they used to have other ways to order products.

    I think telephone ordering is wonderfully quaint. It takes me back to simpler days when we had to walk uphill..... never mind.

    Seriously, though, maybe it helps with getting customers sized right. On the phone, UK can quiz you to make sure you have exactly the right measurements.

    I've ordered 2 UKs over the phone with them and gotten them VERY quickly...besides, they're a riot to talk to on the phone....very personably and will head out to check the shop's racks if they don't have exactly what you're looking for to see what is out there already pre-made. I was goign to get the denim Utilikilt but that's when I learned that they were testing a new denim to see if it worked for them...

    I've got to agree...calling UK is the way to go. Great group of folks to talk to, strike up conversation, you might even learn about what's next on the design table! Pick up the phone, you won't be disappointed.

    Calling Utilikilts on the 'phone is fine for you chaps over there on that side of the pond - why, you even have Toll-Free calls - but those of us elsewhere in the world find that to be a rather expensive exercise! I want to give them an order, for maybe two kilts, but I am not prepared to spend a small fortune on doing so.

    Of course, there is always snail-mail but that's not too convenient either. No, I'll be patient and wait for the on-line facility to be restored.

    If I call in an order do you want me to tell them to call you at their expense? Since you have been such a loyal customer, they might do it.

    That's a very kind thought, Jeremiah, and much appreciated. However, I'm in no real hurry to get my order placed - I do have 11 Utilikilts to be going on with ;) - and besides, Uncle Otto or whoever would probably never find me at home. I'll do it in my own time. Many thanks again.

    Or another option, Ham. I have Internet phone service. I could set up a call at your convenience by calling you then conferencing in UKHQ (love that acronym!) and then drop off to let you conduct your business. If you want to try that at any point, just drop me a PM.

    It is back up and running so order early and order often.
