I got both - the ball a couple weeks ago and they said they were shipping today when I pre-ordered the poster yesterday. They charge for and ship the poster late November/early December. Just a heads up as I remember posts about this the last few years. If there already is one, my apologies.

i ordered my ball a few weeks ago and my credit card was charged but have not received mine yet. Does anyone have any idea how long it will take to receive it? Thanks.

I was told early December.

The lady I talked to said the shipping materials for the balls just came in and they'd start shipping those today. The posters don't go out until early December and they're not charging the card until then (it's a pre-order). $100/$40 is correct and that's total price shipped.

You can ask @DukeGirlForever... it will go down to the wire but you will get them before Christmas. She will have to tell you the exact day the ball/poster she bought for her daughter's Christmas last year but I remember receiving frantic texts after Dec 20th last year asking me if I could go by the Duke Office for her but the items finally arrived on like the 23rd or something. So be patient :D

Hey Newton_14, you are correct! I ordered in late October last year after my daughter begged for a Grayson Allen autograph.
The poster and ball arrived on the same day and it was right around the 21st or something like that. It came just in the nick of time (I live in PA).

I do remember calling the Duke office 2-3 times to follow up and was frustrated each time they told me the items would ship "in the next few days." This was going to be my "Mom of the Year" moment, so I needed this ball to arrive! :p

Watch the charges to your credit card. Mine was charged and then I got them about a week later.

Ball came today but with only 11 signatures of players. I thought there were 14, 15 players on the team.
Does anyone know why there were only 11 players signatures?

Also, can anyone submit a pic of their ball with signatures. Not sure who I am missing and it’s hard to read the autographs.

Thanks.

Interesting. There are 14 players. Ball should definitely include everyone. Hopefully mine shows up today as well.

Update: left 2 messages for the person responsible, no return call...yet. Perhaps they have been busy with the 2 exhibition games this week.

I ordered and received the ball. Looks like not all signatures on the ball. Called the office and they told me to speak with a particular person who has not returned my call.

Got the ball today. Came with 14 signatures (Zion's is a tiny but obvious ZW) in a Duke tote bag with a signed team photo. Pic is on my phone which is dead and it's 4:30 am and I'm exhausted from work.

Thanks for your help, TDG! I called again today. They are just being overwhelmed with calls and emails. They were very nice and understanding. They are sending me a new ball with all the signatures.

Good news. I am thankful. I received the replacement ball with all 14 signatures yesterday. Can’t read a bunch of them though . That’s why they are signatures I guess. My kids asked me which were Zion Williamson and the other freshmen. I have no clue. Can anybody help me out. Thanks.

I can't remember exactly when I ordered mine (a ball and a poster) I think maybe a month ago, but my card was charged yesterday and I am guessing it shipped or will ship in the next few days.

When I ordered mine, they told me that they would not be able to guarantee delivery before Christmas but sounds like I should have it soon.

I apologize for the belated response. I was at a soccer showcase last week and was off the grid. I was missing 4 signatures of the 14 players so they just sent me an additional signed ball with all the signatures.
I think the best course of action is to just call them and discuss. They may send you a new ball or ask you to send the ball back and they will add the missing signature.
Do you know who you are missing?

It took a while to figure out (partly because Barrett signed upside down), but it looks like I am missing Jordan Goldwire.

I don't really want to go through the hassle and expense of sending it back, so I guess I can live with it, but I will probably call the office to at least let them know (so they can hopefully do a better job counting signatures in the future).

I received my signed poster today and I love it. I so appreciate that the team takes what must take hours to sign hundreds and hundreds of these posters. Every signature was there and even included their jersey number making the signatures easy to identify. This team just had what K called a grueling exam week stretch. They had 2 games this week including a huge, difficult game with travel to MSG against a previously undefeated team. They're also getting ready for the holidays like most of the rest of us. Yet they still took time to sign hundreds and hundreds of posters for fans like me and got it to me by Christmas.

I called the Men's basketball office earlier to complain about the unsafe manager bull-rush that nearly knocked me down. But I"m also going to call them tomorrow to express my thanks to them and the team for doing this signing for fans like me. This is a time where college athletes with the prestige of Zion Williamson probably don't have to sign hundreds of autographs. But they did, and I'll cherish every one of them.

I'm so jacked and psyched for this season. I hope they can win it all or make the Final 4, but will be proud of their journey. Bring on the ACC.

Maybe the running managers were hurrying to get the posters and sharpees ready for the team to sign; something they only have time to do during half time! A-ah! It all makes sense now. Cool that you got the poster. Merry Christmas! You’re right, this team is special and a fun journey to watch. Cheers!

How was your poster delivered (USPS, UPS, FedEx)? My mail man just stopped by and still no poster... Wondering if it’ll come this weekend. Hope so, as I want to frame it before Tuesday.

It was delivered by USPS. I was pretty upset when I saw it - the mailman leaned it against the house allowing it to spend all day in a pouring rain storm so that it was soaked when I got home from work. But the poster tube kept the poster completely dry on the inside and it's perfect.

You're going to love it. The gold pen signatures against the black background at the top perfectly match the "Be Worthy" handwritten script design. And it all matches the gold coloring of the trim around the Duke basketball logo and the gold railing behind the team. If the team goes on to win Gold, this poster will be our living room centerpiece until the day I die. (Not yet confirmed by the Mrs.) But clearly I love it regardless, and it's already framed and hanging. Awesome, classy poster design this year made to be signed.

yancem if you want one just call the basketball office during regular business hours: 919-613-7500

I would definitely call soon, not sure when they will be gone. And I've found calling them back until I get a live person to answer to be more reliable than waiting for a voicemail to maybe not be returned.

It's worth the wait.
