For me; Third > Home > Fuck the away kit!
I know, it's egregious.
And UA doesn't offer numbering or names! Really stuck between a rock and a hard place.
I'm guessing they've made the Away & 3rd kits interchangeable, with the away, effectively being a reverse of the 3rd (or the other way round, depending on whether you're an optimist or a pessimist!)
If there's ever a clash with either the Home/3rd navy shorts, and they can't wear either the White/light blue top, they'll probably just get the Cyan shorts out, and stick them with the Navy top... might look quite nice, but I wouldn't lose any sleep over it if it never happens!
You don't pay VAT though (at least on adult gear and a lot of other things) so get an effective 16.67% discount before they add in the ridiculous shipping.
For the "Hero" printing, a £63 shirt will end up costing you £66.49 which isn't that bad - and in fact cheaper than local deliveries.
A plain shirt is £53.99 which is marginally more than the $79.99 charged by UA directly, so it all depends on where you want your money to go, etc (of course you can't get the 3rd from them).
All in all, there are cheaper places to get genuine shirts (kitbag, etc) and the £20 shipping for 2 or more items infuriates me (2 kids needing infant kits which are often only sold through the club early on), but I like buying through the club.
Just wanted to point out it's not as bad as it seems.
At work this morning we had a shipping confirmation come through email for an item that we had completely forgotten we had ordered.
Turns out we ordered the damn thing 5 months ago, and it's just now shipping out today.
Our American business infrastructure is faultless. Lemme vent a bit.
Four days? You had it good. I waited nine days. Just for it to be posted.
I bought it before our game against Crystal Palace, it only arrived on Wednesday.
I know it's 9000 odd miles between Tottenham and here, but it could probably swim here in that time, not that postage time is the doing of the club. Dispatch time, however, is.

Touche. However, I get that the transit can take awhile, but what I don't understand is why they can't get at least get it in the mail sooner. I'm sure they're booked with merchandise demands this time of year and I'm sure they're trying to consolidate to reduce as much cost as possible by building up orders to any given region, but damn that's a long time for such a large institution.
3rd shirt is definitely getting worn to a Padre game. Sandro #30, obviously.
I have to admit I have always generally hated Under Armour, but I like 4 out of the 6 kits they have put together so far.
They hate this:
Fuckers need to get with the program. UA is the shit. Who else would have given our home kit "Y" collars? Nike, Puma, Adidas, et al and we would have looked like every other club in Europe...
Depending on the 'real' cost I'd be happy to buy on your behalf and send it to you. Might not work out any cheaper though?
Their stuff is fine. However it's way overpriced.
I'm just glad we don't have Warrior.
I love their gear in general but the sizing on the shirts is inconsistent.
Even within their own ranges (fitted, regular, loose etc) they all see to come up different. And the sizes are completely different from what we had with Puma. A Puma large 3rd kit from 2011 is a tad bigger than last seasons UA silver and black xxl shirt. Way off!
