$21,75 Shipping! Obviously a company not looking for international customers.

IanBEven with $21,75 shipping it is still less than purchasing at full price. $80 and $90 at Allegory.

waltburkWell, it's not exactly flying off the shelf at this price. Maybe it has something to do with the P&P?
IanBNot to be contrary, but this drop has ran several times now, each of which with substantial quantities. We noticed this one didn't have quite as many people and since nothing has changed we can only assume that it is because hundreds of folks in the massdrop community already have one. We have a few new products in the works so we'll likely hold off several months before making this one available again.
That said - I completely understand your frustration with the shipping cost. It stinks to see something you like and then have logistics make it seem infeasible. For what it's worth, I know that Massdrop ads only very minor handling fees to the shipping on these items, so the numbers you are seeing are very close to the actual costs imposed by the shipping companies. Something that is largely out of the control of Massdrop or Allegory. We love working with international customers and we'll continue looking for more cost effective shipping options to make this work better. Hopefully we can come up with a strategy that makes it easier for international buyers before this product is dropped again.
Cheers! Chad

AllegoryGoodsThank you for taking the time to reply. Please do not think I am in anyway denigrating you product. Quite the contrary as I like your product a lot. I do however believe there is a correlation between volume sold and international postage. Compare your costs to the similar product selling now on this site were the p&p is $6.25. I buy regularly from Massdrop and many of those items have appeared multiple times previously and since. These items sell biggish quantities every time. Could the p&p play a contributing part? I think so. Anyway, bottom line is that I am really at a loss as to see how your product costs more than 3 times that of a similar product to post to Australia. Sadly you have lost at least 1 international sale.
As an aside, I would be genuinely interested to know how p&p is calculated at Massdrop.
