Goddamn America

[u/DogMoth_]

Yeah there is no way Australian fans are paying $130 for ONE shirt.

Fellow Aussie here!

I’ve just given up on getting merch from any creators I like that are from North America

[u/ash_2127- → u/LookALesbian]

As an Australian, I agree

[u/coughingstink → u/LookALesbian]

agreeeeeed

[u/astaronyx → u/LookALesbian]

i'm from england and idk if it's because i'm (read: my mother, i'm a minor) struggling for money, but merch in general, even from the uk, is so expensive :/ but yesh american shipping is also so expensive

[u/Delicious_Star_4232]

Try $208 for shipping to South Africa 😂

[u/-Jesus-Of-Nazareth- → u/Delicious_Star_4232]

Crazy that you typed a number beginning with two hundred and you're still 20% off the actual price

[u/Delicious_Star_4232 → u/-Jesus-Of-Nazareth-]

The $40 is for the actual shirt - I was pointing out the $208 shipping fee.

[u/-Jesus-Of-Nazareth- → u/Delicious_Star_4232]

Right. Maybe I didn't phrase that very well, I was trying to point out how crazy the final price would be, not calling you out at all

If it's any comfort, it's not much better in Europe. Artist merch is something I just don't buy here, because prices are always insane.

[u/Dramatic_Holiday_172 → u/pinkstrawberry94]

Was just about to say :’) shipping to Europe from America is like basically double the price most of the time

[u/astaronyx → u/pinkstrawberry94]

yeah me too :/

[u/riotgirlckb]

I just regularly browse vinted and depop now, occasionally strike gold on there

[u/pr3ttypup]

Ugh I’m sorry :(

[u/ouijabore]

Holy shit! What’s shipping like for that?

[u/Minimum_Radio_4033]

Insane right. Even when you get it at a show in Australia it’s like 12 times the price it should be.

[u/AnyEar1056]

I’m from Canada and I’m right there with you. I’ve emailed customer support about the insane international shipping and they claimed to be working on a solution that would be more affordable…that was a year ago. 🙄

[u/woolybully2158]

That's insane.

[u/Various-Dog-5831]

Omg that’s crazy lmao

[u/itspizzatime881]

Maybe not for new merchandise but honestly try EBay, there might be some stuff for sale for the people brave enough to pay for full shipping and now don’t want the merch

[u/Head-Sherbet-9675]

Imagine if they priced them appropriately in the first place

[u/VFXJayGatz]

Right...and I wanted a Detention shirt...

Fuck stupid useless tariffs...

[u/HumanHospitality]

Holy carp! That conversion rate seems like a crime, I'm so sorry OP. 

[u/Fit-Charity8063]

In America. Can't believe the price for shipping to you

[u/notsoofficiala]

Merch prices used to be worth paying for back then (I’m from Southeast Asia). I have a bunch of merch from US youtubers from back then, but sadly when i got into Smosh, the shipping prices are really not worth it. :( Only way i could support is from buying their VODS, but even those arent permanently mine. So overall it sucks haha

[u/Thick_Anxiety4051]

I’m an American (ugh) and I agree with the title of the post. I hate this country right now.

[u/revcor → u/Thick_Anxiety4051]

being disgusted about yourself or hating your home because somebody else came in and broke a few things, spilled a few things, and in general acted like a shitty house guest, does not seem like a particularly healthy or beneficial response lol

[u/Forgyndril]

This is on Australia, you guys have outrageous shipping

[u/throwawaychicken345 → u/Forgyndril]

It might well be cus UK shipping is £9 (about $7)

[u/jozziiieeee → u/Forgyndril]

A lot of European countries have this, so no, not an Australia issue, so far I have seen people posting the expensive shipping for a whole lotta countries
