Re: Loopers Delight T Shirts!



I've done a bunch of projects like this for other sites, it's a huge pain 
to do regular airmail because it costs different for every country you 
send 
to, and also varies by weight (shirt size). So you have to get every 
package stamped separately at the post office and deal with different 
prices for everybody's orders. Global Priority is the same cost everywhere 
and doesn't vary with weight. You just get a bunch of stamps and do it all 
at once and it is simple. That will be much easier for our friend Jason to 
manage!

If you look at http://www.usps.gov they have postage calculators for 
international shipping from the US. you will see that regular airmail 
varies from being only slightly cheaper than global priority to much more 
depending on weight and destination. In the best case you don't save very 
much, and you can pay much more in the worst case. Jason has been kind 
enough to donate his time to do this project, please let's not make him 
work twice as hard just so you can save $1 on shipping costs!
