USPS works really well for this kind of application, and you can definitely do it cheaper than flat rate

The books are now closed, no additional orders will be accepted.

I'm gonna crunch some numbers and get back to you guys with totals. I think $6 domestic for shipping will work, I've ordered some of those sturdy mailer bags.

Internationally shipping is gonna cost a whole lot more and hopefully you understood that going in.

Those of you who made bulk orders, I'm gonna try to fit everything into medium flat rate boxes, which will run about $15. I'll let you know if that doesn't work.

For international, USPS First-Class Package International Service should be fine, and not too expensive.

I think those mailer bags will be ok. I get stuff from aliexpress sent in a thin plastic bag and it's just fine. Shirts won't break.

Sent a followup email since I fat fingered my street address. Sorry about that.

I've sent everyone payment information. Thanks in advance, guys! Once I have all the money I'll place the order and with luck the box will arrive by the end of the month. Once the shirts arrive I won't waste time getting them out the door to you guys. There's a nonzero chance they'll all be in place in time for Christmas, even those of you who live overseas, but I can't promise anything.

A friendly reminder: If you use Paypal to send me money as a payment for goods, Paypal takes their cut. As was kindly pointed out to me:

quote:

Dunno if its only through the site but they changed to a friend to "without purchase protection" to try and trick people up i think. Just fyi for the other peeps

So apparently they've changed how they call it, probably to trip people up.

I won't lose sleep if it happens because it's not a very big cut, but try not to let them trick you.

Tricksy paypals.

Payment sent. Goddamn, though, they sure made the "send with protection" counter intuitive. You basically have to indicate that you hate yourself before PayPal will let you eat the cost of the transaction fee.

Edit I mean, joke's on PayPal, I already hate myself, so this was just easy mode.

How much do shirts weigh? You could also try pirateship.com which lets you use USPS commercial rates for first-class packages (<16oz) instead of the priority flat rate. might be a good option for people just getting 1.

Each shirt individually tested for quality, flavor, and filtration.

Also I didn't dare put on more than six at once before I started to worry about stretching any.

I've packaged up most of the shirts and man, I've forgotten how stressful this is.

If I screw up and send the wrong goon the wrong shirt, I haven't hosed over just the one goon. I've hosed over the goon who was supposed to have received that shirt too.

As a result I've ramped up the paranoia to 11 and I've developed a smooth process:

Check list for shirt size
Find shirt
Double check size
Compare size of shirt in hand to shirt on list
Fold shirt
Check size of shirt to make sure it hasn't changed
Check list to make sure it hasn't changed.
Check shirt again
Package shirt
Check list one more time
Write size on package
Toss package into pile
Repeat.

I'm hoping to have the shirts out by Friday, but my paranoia is making the process way more stressful than it needs to be and it's somewhat slow going because I'm but one goon in a rocking chair, folding and packaging shirts.

I have a leftover shirt. What the gently caress?
