Nike Therma Flex Fabric Note- Nike Therma Flex is a fabric specifically made for NBA players.  Therma Flex is a thicker 4-way stretch fabric(9% spandex) unlike a typical thin polyester basketball shorts most of you are accustomed too.  The added thickness is needed to manage your body's natural heat to deliver optimal warmth in cooler conditions such as an air conditioned arena or gym.  As stated previously, Nike Therma Flex was developed for NBA players because many of them had a hard time getting & staying warmed up pregame with their outdated thinner polyester warm up gear because the air conditioned arenas they were playing in were so cold.  Just a side note, all those white Nike NBA Finals Champion jackets with the gold embroidering that NBA players have worn at the trophy/ring ceremony are all Therma Flex jackets.  These NBA championship Nike Therma Flex jackets typically sell on eBay in the $300 to $500 range brand new depending on the team.

Tall Sizing Note- This is a Lakers Tall version Nike warm-up hooded jacket.  The TALL at the end of L means it's a Tall version jacket.  The standard sized version made for the general public would just be L with no TALL at the end.  Obviously, you have to be tall to fit this which is why the majority of NBA players wear the tall version.  Please checkout the overall measurements below and compare it with your own jacket measurements before making any purchase decision.  Thanks.

Tall Side Note- Nike Tall versions are very hard to come by since most are issued exclusively for college/NBA basketball teams.  Why?  The average height of a American man is 5' 9" which is well below the 6'6 to 6' 7" average height of a NBA player in 2023. 

No Pockets Note- Jacket does not have any pockets since this is a official NBA warm-up hooded jacket.  Why?  Simply put, if you're a NBA basketball player you wouldn't want your cell phone or car keys to fall out during a layup drill in front of thousands of fans or your teammates & coaches.  LOL!

Cardboard Box Shipping- Since this is a high value rare hooded jacket, I will ship it in a USPS Priority Mail cardboard box to help prevent shipping & handling damages.  Cardboard box shipping is the best way I know to insure a clothing item doesn't get torn, smashed or slashed during transit to your location.

About Item:

Nike Lakers Therma Flex jacket is 100% real and not a cheap low quality overseas fake.  Jacket was personally bought by me from a large national retailer here in the United States.  I absolutely did not buy any of my Nike products from overseas like a lot of other online listings.  My officially licensed NBA products may sometimes cost a little more, but you can rest assured you're getting what you paid for.  Don't be a Nike product counterfeit victim.  My outstanding 2000+ positive reviews to negative feedback ratio speaks for the quality and authenticity of my items.  Guaranteed 100% authentic retail store bought product.  My clothing items do not come from classified ads, thrift stores, garage sales, other online auctions or buying from some guy at the swap meet.  

Expedited Shipping:

Ships in a USPS Priority Mail cardboard box with acceptable shipping business day handling times.  Shorter handling times equal quicker deliveries.  Buy with confidence since I'm Top Rated and known for super fast shipping.  Bottom line, I don't ship hundreds of items a week, just a few; so you know your item always gets the attention it deserves.

• There may be extended delivery times during the holiday season(Oct, Nov, Dec) due to the unusually high volume of Christmas packages being processed at USPS.  Logistical issues, pandemics, severe weather conditions or nationwide staff shortages added to the sheer volume of packages will definitely increase delivery times during these holiday months.  If USPS avoids these unforeseen circumstances than your holiday order should be delivered in a timely fashion.  

 No Returns.  Why?  Am I Covered If Something Goes Wrong?

Why No Returns?

• I don't offer refunds on the majority of my items now because of mainly 2 reasons.  First, because of eBay's revised return policy, I can no longer charge an "automatic" restocking fee for returns.  As a result, I was previously losing roughly between $5 to $18+(my shipping cost to you) on every return.  With profit margins being so tight, a return can make an item not profitable or not worth relisting again.  Secondly, I'm tired of fighting fraudulent returns.  Yeah, I win the majority of the fraud cases, but the 1% you lose literally makes you want to quit online reselling for good.  It feels that bad.  Just ask any online reseller.  You can be 1000% right, yet still lose the return claim on a minor technicality.  UGH!!!  With all that said, what ultimately made me change my return policy was even though you "win" a fraudulent return case, you absolutely do not feel like a "winner" because of the time wasted proving the return was fraudulent as well as the emotional toll it takes on your mental health.  I can honestly and sadly say, every dishonest return claim made me lose faith in humanity just a tiny bit.  That's no way to live.  I finally realized after years of selling, it was not worth the headaches, losing sleep over or most importantly losing faith in humanity.  LOL!!  Being a low volume seller means I normally have only 1 or at most a handful of a particular item which makes selling an item(s) now with a no return policy very manageable since eBay easily has over a 100 million customers worldwide.

Extra Things I Do To Offset A No Return Policy

• I know a no return policy does affect my sales which is why I ALWAYS go above and beyond when describing and photographing my eBay items so there are absolutely no "surprises" when you receive an item from me.  Some of the extra things I do are listed below:

1. There are many occasions where I will ship your eBay order earlier than the listed business day(s) shipping timeline.  It all depends on how many packages need to be delivered to the post office for that day.
2. If asked and I have the time, I will ship out the item the same business day or even Saturday if a customer needs the item ASAP say for a birthday gift, athletic event such as a football/soccer game or an upcoming trip.  Not a problem if they message me early enough and I have no prior commitments for that day.
3. I list overall measurements for pretty much all my clothing items.  Listing measurements for a clothing item may seem trivial to you, but it literally doubles the time it takes me to list an item on eBay.  Ask any eBay clothing seller, the extra time it takes to take out a yard stick/tape measure then write or input these measurements for a huge pile of eBay clothing items is time consuming & gets a little irritating to say the least.  Haha! Trust me I'd love to just write in the description, "Brand new with tags. Size Large. Comes from a smoke free home.  Ships fast!"  LOL! 
4. I try to describe to the best of my ability if an item runs small or big and point out flaws no matter how tiny they are.  Things that I point out regularly that most sellers don't are store fastener tag/anti-theft tag pinholes, wrinkles/creases in jersey graphics, pepper sized scuffs on shoes and as stated previously if an item runs small or big.
5. I respond to all buyers questions before and after the sale in a timely matter as long as our time zones mesh.    
6. I take lots of high quality HD photos of the item.  I never use stock online photos just to save time.  
7. Lastly, if I do make a mistake whether it's in the item description or the item sent, I always make it right with my buyers.  I don't like my time wasted and neither do my buyers.  

• Following these business practices is the reason why I think I have outstanding eBay feedback, returning customers and thousands of dollars in sales every month year after year.  

Common Myths About A No Return Policy

• The reason I'm writing this long winded "No Returns" policy is to help alleviate the stigma associated with a no return item.  Common myths of a no return item are there must be something wrong with that item, it's something nobody wants or I'll be stuck with something I never ordered.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  All a No Return Policy does is stop a return because of YOU- buyer's remorse.  Some classic examples of buyers remorse are "I don't need it anymore, I should've bought a different brand, I ended up ordering a sweater when I should've bought a hoodie or I wish I got a different color."  It will never ever stop a return if I send you something you didn't order or is not as described.  For example, you order a fitted hat from me and I send you a snapback hat.  You order a blue jacket and I send you a yellow one.  You order a men's pants and I send you a women's pants.  Or the listing shows and says item is red & I send you something that is green.  You are covered and protected in all of these situations plus many more by eBay's money back guarantee and will get 100% of your money back. 

Is There A Bright Side To My No Return Policy?

• Yes, there is.  From what I hear, many of my clothing customers are now forced to measure their own personal clothing items and compare it with the Overall Measurements in the listing to see if my eBay item will fit them instead of "guessing and hoping it fits" like they were accustomed too for a returnable item.  Like the majority of clothing online buyers around the world, many of my customers had absolutely no clue what their technical overall clothing measurements were because of free online returns.  They really only knew the basics like "I wear a medium shirt and a 33" waist pants."  I would say after measuring thousands of clothing items, a medium in one brand can be sized much smaller or bigger than a medium in another brand because of the design cut or the material itself.  This is why any customer of mine who were reluctantly forced to finally figure out their technical clothing measurements because of my no buyer's remorse refunds brings a smile to my face.  I 100% know they will definitely save money and time in their future online clothing purchases because a lot of online businesses charge a 10 to 25 percent return restocking fee for sizing issues and let's face it; it's a hassle and a big waste of time to return something online.  I don't know anybody who likes repackaging an item then driving it back to the post office or a big box store return center.

Conclusion-  Sales Results Of My No Return Policy & My Commitment To Ebay Customers

• I've easily sold close to 5000 items going all the way back to my University Of Hawaii Shidler Business School college days and 1000+ items since I stopped accepting returns for the majority of my items a few years back.  Many of these items have sold for more than a $100 with a majority of them over $50.  Ask any online reseller when you sell items for over a $100 online you better be accurate on your item description and on top of your shipping & packaging or you will get negative feedback for sure.  I would like to add even though my eBay online business is considered by some a quote "fun hobby income," make no mistake I treat eBay like a real business.  I'm a law abiding eBay reseller that only sells items legally bought by me & will NEVER EVER sell illegally obtained stolen items on eBay, I pay income taxes on all sales and I take customer concerns very seriously as you can see by my outstanding feedback.  It doesn't matter if your order was for $20 or $200, all orders get the same level of service.  Ebay is not just a business for me, it's an online selling platform that I will always hold near & dear to my heart.  Ebay took care of me when money was tight in & out of college, eBay was my first real solo business and most importantly eBay has been for the most part, fair & transparent with me over the years.  This is why I feel it's my duty to pay it forward to eBay and ALWAYS go the extra mile for them and their loyal customers as they did for me starting way back when.  What's that famous line: "You never work a day in your life if you love what you do."  That's how I feel about selling on eBay.  LOL!   Anyway, 1000+ recent actual buyers have left positive feedback stating they love my items and service.  Hopefully, I can add you to this list and we can do a deal today or in the near future.  Thanks for your time and Aloha :)
