Any chance for a EU based merchant? Using a merchant on a tiny island that chose to globally isolate itself and now having to charge everyone insane delivery fees and import taxes isnt great 🙁

@ripienaar For real. I’d be more willing if we knew Mastodon got any of that €19 for EU shipping, but I assume the supplier just pockets the excess. There’s no way it costs that to mail a shirt pin to Sweden…

@henryhenderson @ripienaar No, we don't get the shipping money, the shipping company gets them. I couldn't get lower shipping rates. I understand the manufacturer being in the UK is not ideal for many and apologize for the inconvenience.

@Gargron Eh, you can't make everything convenient for everyone. Since these are kind of limited, it's no biggie. The people who want them bad enough will pay for it anyway. I'm happy to support via Patreon still 🙂

@Gargron @henryhenderson @ripienaar I appreciate your work... can't wait to get the merch! I also think that it would have been the same the other way around if you went with e.g. a US company, because then shipping to the EU/UK tends to be about £30, (and has been long before Brexit), so I think it's a good compromise 😀

I think for the EU https://supergeek.de/de/ would be the right (nerd) store.
Here are many artists and creatives such as @ralphruthe with his store: https://supergeek.de/de/ruthe/
Attached is a screenshot with an overview of the delivery areas with shipping costs.

@Gargron @henryhenderson @ripienaar
This is also a problem in the US: the total for a shirt was over $50, nearly half of which was shipping. This was on top of the mugs being sold out.

Any way you can get a North-American vendor in on this? I'd definitely accept this price if I could get a shirt and mug at this price.

@Gargron it's such a shame that the launch was a dud because I love the motives.
Is there a chance of a second batch with better logistics?
