I placed my order on August 16th. I know it's not as long as some others on here, but when you get an email on Sept 5th saying it's been shipped and still no jersey - no bueno!
I ordered mine from http://throwbackjoes.com/, which say 4-6 weeks for delivery. One "Contact Us" link is for an email to dwane@559graphics.com, but there's another email link to info@throwbackjoes.com that is a dead email address.
I did find the owner on Twitter, and he has been pretty responsive getting back to me, but it seems like he is too busy being around the team that his company suffers. His Twitter is https://twitter.com/throwbackjoe66...
His name is Joe Verdugo

They even have an App on iTunes...
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/throwback-joe/id1081579472?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo=2
The app is written by a guy named "Dwane Chapman". Coincidence to dwane@559graphics.com for the "Contact Us" link on Throwback Joe's website?
I think not!

Yea man, I don't know whats up with this place... this is the last response I received 6 days ago from Joe.
"It's on the way. It's a custom one off that we had to create...should not take this long but we had a delay as we lost our materials manager.
We had to find a new company...now all up and running smoothly.
I am with Eric currently and will hook you up a freebie from him.
Best wishes,
Joe"
My order was placed on 6/16.

My saga continues...
I received my jersey yesterday, but the jersey was WAY too huge on me. I'm a big guy, but I was swimming in this thing. Turns out, the neck tag had been cut off, and there was no "Throwback Joe" tag on the lower front corner of the jersey (as there should be). I ordered a 3XL, but this thing looks like a 4XL or 5XL.
It almost feels like he rushed out a bigger jersey just to appease me and get me off his back. I could be wrong, but missing tags seems awful suspicious...
So it's back to CA for this jersey - guess I MIGHT get my proper-size jersey before we get to the playoffs.

That's just wrong and you are probably right in your suspicion. Sorry dude.

On the bright side, the owner Joe Verdugo, has been very responsive on his Twitter account. His last response was this...
"Hey let me know what the shipping a cost and I can PayPal you… Let's get this taken care of… Go Rams!"
So, if he makes it right, I'll be happy. I'm not worried about the wait right now. I guess I'm tired of fighting. Don't get me wrong though - I want my jersey, I just have to be patient.
I think he's trying. I've just had a calamity of errors hit me with this order.

Everytime I think about my order I get heated and I have to calm myself down. This was probably the worst fathers day gift I could have given. I told my pops it was gonna be like 3-6 weeks not 3-6 months. I'll be hitting him up again this weekend if nothing comes.
We've ordered bootleg jerseys for 20 bucks from China and they got here faster then this, China!

Slow boat from China?
Sorry you're having all these problems with them. Unfortunately, or fortunately, I was warned before about buying anything from them. Hope you get your jersey along with whatever freebee.

Well duh.... you have like four numbers on yours. That's four charges. I'd keep quiet about it so they don't charge you three more times. You got a steal.

"The 60 styles are not in they won't be in for at least another 10 days I did get a Dickerson color rush if you want that instead? I will also be able to throw in a free jersey as well… Please let me know I'm very sorry for this delay we're just trying to recoup with our orders… Joe"
Received this response yesterday. Next week will be 4 months.

Sounds like a Shuster, or just a guy with an idea but not the brains to figure out how to run a business. He should have gotten a loan so he could buy some inventory. Instead it sounds like he was just going shirt by shirt and got overwhelmed, or he is purposely ripping people off.

Don't know but he said he'll have the style I ordered in 10 days so if he doesn't ship in 10 days I'm contacting Paypal about this. I'm worried that my order was so long ago that they think I'm pulling some shit. I might have to just find this Joe at the next tailgate and talk to him in person and get my money.

Deal with this company if you choose, but be ready to deal with BS after BS. I cannot advise anyone to buy from this site. I gave him till November 1st to have it shipped but I highly doubt he gets it done and I'll have to open a charge back claim with Paypal.
Linking my correspondences below for anyone thinking about ordering from this site. You have to read from bottom to top.
Is it really being made as we speak? I've been told "it's on its way", "we'll have it in 10 days", "it's being made right now" for over 4 months.
I'll give it till November 1st. If it hasn't shipped by then I'll issue a charge back.

Just be advised nobody will make a jersey like this and Eric Dickerson is my business partner and understands totally what we are going through even he is waiting for a few jerseys.

Hello!
Your order was placed with us 7/16 and sent to manufacturing side…7/18
We are still a few weeks off to receiving it and sending it out to you the app does state four to six weeks turnaround time...sometimes there are delays in processing when ordering just one item as you can imagine with the Los Angeles Rams now home we have hundreds of orders coming through daily. We do appreciate your patience and we do look forward to getting you your gear!
Go Rams!

@LosAngelesRams he's probably getting hammered with orders but that's no excuse for the bullshit.
I'd link him to this thread and tell him about how much business he ISN'T going to get because of his lousy way of handling his shit.
I wouldn't buy anything off someone like this.

Final update...
I received my Dickerson jersey on Monday - it fits! It only took two months to get here. I guess I'm luckier than some are. Anyway, I was disappointed that he didn't throw any swag in there, but my main concern was the jersey - that's what I wanted. So, I'm satisfied that it's resolved. I honestly think that the Rams moving back to LA really boosted his sales, and he is just having trouble with the sheer volume. And I think he truly does care, or else he would never responded like he has.
Would I order something else from him? I don't know. Maybe...
