Recently, two Operation Gadget readers commented that they have received LiveStrong yellow wristbands directly from the Lance Armstrong Foundation by placing an order for 10 wristbands and waiting for delivery. I will repeat their comments here so that more readers can see them:
Just because the bands are backordered doesn’t mean you can’t place an order. My friend ordered a 10 pack at the end of July and it came in 2-3 weeks. Not sure why someone would want to pay $10 for one band, just to get it sooner. Also, the LAF sends them to countries all over the world, not just the USA.
For those of you who “only want one”, don’t be cheap. Buy a 10-pack and give them to your friends and family, for crying out loud.

I’m from the Philippines and we did your 3rd suggestion. {“Organize a small group of friends and purchase a 10-pack directly from the Lance Armstrong Foundation.”} The package just arrived last friday. I’m proud to say that I’m now wearing the band. 🙂

If their experience is an indication of how the Lance Armstrong Foundation is handling back orders, then I think ordering a 10-pack of LiveStrong yellow wristbands directly from the LAF is the most efficient way to get them at this time. I ordered a 10-pack directly from the LAF this morning. I was charged $13.06 for a 10-pack, including shipping.
When I receive the 10-pack that I ordered, I’ll let you know here on Operation Gadget.
