Suggestions for Finding a LiveStrong Yellow Wristband Outside the United States
LiveStrong Yellow Wristbands can be
ordered from the Discovery Channel
On-Line Store by customers in Canada
and the United Kingdom. In other countries,
buy from the Lance Armstrong
Foundation On-Line Store.
Over the last few days, thousands of visitors have come to Operation Gadget from Google and other major search engines, looking for information on obtaining a LiveStrong yellow wristband. Apparently, interest in wristbands is particularly high in Europe, where the coverage of Lance Armstrong's sixth consecutive Tour de France victory was particularly intense.
Early on in the marketing effort, LiveStrong supporters in the United States were able to find LiveStrong Yellow Wristbands using the LiveStrong dealer locator. Many of the stores listed there no longer keep LiveStrong Wristbands in stock. That doesn't matter to people who live outside the United States, since LiveStrong Wristbands were never available at retail stores in most countries.
If you live outside the United States, I recommend the following approach:
- If you live in Canada or the United Kingdom, order a 10-pack of LiveStrong Yellow Wristbands from the Discovery Channel On-Line Store. The cost is US$ 10.00 plus shipping and handling. As of February 10, 2005, Discovery has plenty of stock and customer service has been excellent.
- If you do not live in Canada or the UK, order a 10-pack directly from the Lance Armstrong Foundation. This has been particularly successful since July 2004, see Readers Successfully Buying 10-Packs of LiveStrong Yellow Wristbands Directly from the Lance Armstrong Foundation for more information.
Good luck obtaining your LiveStrong wrist band. Wearing one is a great show of support for cancer patients and survivors everywhere.
Update: This article was updated on February 10, 2005 to reflect the latest information about LiveStrong Wristband availability.

Hi I'm from Winnipeg, Manitoba (Canada)
Just wondering where... if there are any places here I could find a Livestrong band. I've found some on ebay, but I'd much rather support this cause with my purchase.
THANKS A BUNCH!

Im afraid the best way to get them is from the LAF site. Dont be scared that they're back-ordered!! And who cares about buying ten?? Wear two on each arm!!And one on each foot!!

Despite what it says above Decathlon UK Ltd are not stockists of this product I'm afraid. We've had a lot of calls but we don't sell them.

Sorry about the multiple postings, but if it prevents somebody to resorting to Ebay, so be it.
Posted by: Maria | September 15, 2004 1:41 PM
i could not agree more.
it is awful to see such a good idea to raise money for the LAF being exploited on EBay,
my reccommendation is - if you do decide to resort to that, ensure you contact the seller first to enquire if they are giving all proceeds to the LAF.

DO NOT BUY LIVESTRONG WRISTBANDS FROM EBAY. People are making proffit out of it, Go to
http://www.laf-store.org/ and buy them there at NORMAL price, and help people with cancer, do not help greedy people make a profit out of them. DONT BE STUPID!!!!!!

i live in Crawley, west sussex. south east england. if anyone knows where i can buy them please let me know.

Hi. I want to buy a wristband but I've looked in loads of shops in South Wales, UK but I just can't find 1 anywhere. What if some/all of the UK people who want a wristband get together and order a pack from the US and split the cost of shipping etc, that way the cost will be far cheaper for everyone.

Hi, I'm from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, I've wonder around through Nike stores here and they knew nothing about the LiveStrong bands, and I wouldn't want to buy from online stores because the shipping costs are way more than the band itself. please let me know where to get those here.

Where can you purchase the bands from in the UK, can you get them over the net?
Posted by: Purchaser | November 22, 2004 12:46 PM
For recent correspondents from England (Charlotte, CBM, and "Purchaser"):
I think your best bet is to order from the Lance Armstrong Foundation On-Line Store, choose a 10-pack, and wait the time necessary for the LAF to process and ship your order. It could take 4 to 6 weeks, but I'm highly confident you'll get the wristbands you are seeking.
The LAF store is located here:
http://www.laf-store.org/
Maybe the three of you can team up on an order?
