Take Flight

District 13 Ultimatum (B13U) is coming to DVD! Starring David Belle and Cyril Raffaelli, B13U was the most highly anticipated Parkour film ever made when it released in February 2009 in Europe. Since then the film has debuted around the world and is finally being released on DVD in the United States. In accordance with the exciting release we have worked hard to make sure our customers can be the first to own the DVD.

At Take Flight we have always been and always will be huge supporters and promoters of Parkour films and projects involving David Belle. Banlieue 13 and B13 Ultimatum are the top two on both of these lists. Fortunately we have some strong relationships with various companies that allow us to sell products from these movies that others can’t. This is true in the case of our posters, and it is now true with the B13U DVD. Even though the movie doesn’t release until April 27^th, we have it in our store for pre-order purchase for Traceurs worldwide!

District 13 Ultimatum officially releases on DVD on April 27^th, and you can pre-order it now through our store for only $19.95. All orders placed for the DVD will be shipped ‘rush’ on this date, and all pre-orders will receive FREE shipping. Now is your chance to be, not one of the first but, THE first to own District 13 Ultimatum on DVD. Don’t miss out. Take advantage of this special opportunity and pre-order B13U now!

Since Day 1 we have offered integrated shipping to over 190 countries through the Take Flight store. The process has been simple: you decide what Parkour clothing, gear, posters, DVDs etc. you want, add them to your cart, type in your address, and select your shipping option (First Class, Priority, Next Day etc). We then package your order and ship it within 24 hours. Our shipping carrier since the beginning has always exclusively been the United States Postal Service (USPS). What we found though, was that with large orders USPS wasn’t the cheapest carrier.

Once we realized that USPS wasn’t always the cheapest carrier we got right to work to add another shipping option to our internationally accessible online store. We made some calls, purchased the proper equipment, and made the right website adjustments so that now, in addition to USPS shipping, we also offer shipping from the United Parcel Service (also known as UPS).

With UPS as an additional shipping carrier for Take Flight products, there are now even more shipping options for you to choose from. Not only do you get to choose how soon you receive your Parkour clothing/gear , you also get to choose who brings the package to your doorstep. We have not added this feature to our site because it’s easier for us. In fact adding this feature has been just the opposite! Rather, we have added this feature to better serve our customers. By providing another carrier option that gives you one further option you can utilize to customize your experience with us, and one further option you can use to save you money.

At Take Flight we have a 24 hour shipping policy. Here is how it works:

• All orders placed on our site for Parkour clothing, Parkour DVDs, Parkour posters or anything else (everything we do is Parkour hence the adjectives) are processed by us, in our warehouse, through our computers, and by us – the Take Flight team.
• Any order placed by 12pm (noon) on a business day (Monday through Friday – national Holidays excluded) mails out that very same day.
• Any order placed after 12pm (noon) on a business day (Monday through Friday – national Holidays excluded) mails out on the very next business day.*

The reason we have a 24 hour shipping policy is so that we can serve our customers to the best of our abilities. The result is that the average delivery time of our packages from the moment you place an order to the moment you receive it is only 3-4 business days! Very few companies in the clothing industry, or any industry for that matter, have a shipping policy that is this speedy, and when it comes to Parkour clothing, no one has this policy but us.

Our 24 hour shipping policy means that when you place an order, it leaves our warehouse within one business day if not sooner. Additionally, when your order ships from our warehouse we also send you a confirmation email with a tracking number so you can track your package as it travels to your doorstep. Our entire shipping process has been organized and put in place because of our commitment to our customers, so take advantage of it! How fast you receive your custom Parkour apparel will surprise you.

*Sometimes exceptions to this 24 hour rule are made in your favor such that orders that are placed after 12pm (noon) still ship the same day, and orders that are placed on Friday still ship out on Saturday.

If you’re looking for that perfect Christmas gift for that Parkour enthusiast, friend, or family member in your life, the place to look is Take Flight. Christmas is only 8 days away, and the Holiday rush already has many companies unable to provide guaranteed arrival of purchases by Christmas. But not Take Flight! We are offering a Parkour Christmas Guarantee to make sure that everyone can still open a Parkour gift on Christmas.

Our Parkour Christmas Guarantee is simple: all orders placed by Monday, December 20th before 11:59pm PST with a United States shipping address are guaranteed to arrive by Christmas. To make this happen we are even throwing in a FREE priority shipping upgrade to all orders that do not immediately qualify for USPS priority shipping.*

Whether you just need that final Parkour related stocking stuffer, or whether you’re still looking for the perfect gift for the Traceur you know, Take Flight has you covered. There are still four days left during which all U.S. orders are guaranteed to arrive by Christmas so it’s not too late. Get over to the Take Flight store and find the perfect Christmas gift that says “Parkour!”

*To qualify for our Parkour Christmas Guarantee all orders must be placed on in-stock products. Backorder products do not qualify for our Parkour Christmas Guarantee.
