Hello everyone!

Thank you to everyone who has placed an order for our sweaters! They just arrived today, and we are ready to have people pick them up from our office in University College (Room B204).

The total cost of each hoodie came out to $34.90, which was cheaper than we expected! Upon picking up the hoodie, you will be asked to complete an e-transfer for the remaining cost of the hoodie, which is $14.90. The e-transfer will be sent to the same email again ([email protected]). We will not be accepting cash.

We have set aside 5 days when you can pick up your hoodie from our office. Please indicate which day you will be picking up your hoodie on this form. If you have a conflict with these dates, please reach out to Sobhneek directly ([email protected]) to arrange an alternative pick-up time.

If there are any other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to Sobhneek!
