The beta is super awesome. RogueAssassin27 is now the person who got my Totodile's nickname. Hoo-hah! Relevant.inb4lock

I have a dumb question, should I wait to buy the swag bag and posters together, if I get the chance, or can I secure the posters now and add the swag to that same order so I don't have to pay two shipping fees?

I don't think there's much you and I can do. I did the same thing - except I made 5 different orders......

I can't wait to see all 5 packages show up on my doorstep.

So I can't add to my order? Okay then, I either wait for the swag bag and buy them all together or pay two shipping fees and buy them separately.

WHAT DO?

buy in bulk. buy 500 shirts, then the shipping price for each shirt will go down, problem solved.


I was thinking of doing that. I've seen a few posts across the interwebs of people not wanting to spend so much on shipping. If I bought about 10, plus the postage within the UK then that would bring the price down to perhaps no more than £20 (instead of £32).

And as you say, the more shirts ordered in bulk, the cheaper the shipping is per shirt.

If someone did this then I'd expect them not to add on their own "handling costs" (I mean other than the postage)and start profiting from Bungie's charity efforts.

I'd go with the two shipping fees. You at least want to ensure you get SOMETHING.

The people that profit from this charity effort by Bungie have just no souls.

Do you think it'll be possible from Bungie's end to remove the re-sale of these items from places like eBay and stuff?

They could possibly do it for the Swag Bag itself, but I doubt they could do it for ever thing that came inside it. Some stuff you already see on eBay now. (Rumor has it some of them are filled with Halo 3 Zunes)

  • 06.25.2011 5:43 AM PDT

History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it.

I've finally managed to get a t-shirt, but shipping to the UK is *very* expensive. I'm still going to try getting a swag bag as well, but that's likely to cost even more and get hit by import tax.. Hopefully mine comes with some good stuff, if I can get a hold of one.

Valid point. I know of one person who spent $200 on the bags and had planned to resell them

Hopefully there aren't any greedy people like him.

@Winter, yeah, but the bags will be worth it!

I've been thinking about how to help others in the UK get shirts but being put off by the shipping costs.

I worked out that about 20 shirts (delivered to 1 address) makes the total cost per shirt (plus delivery within the UK to each person) more reasonable (ie. the shipping costs is less the shirt itself).

Then I thought about using a site like Kickstarter (but Kickstarter is for US projects and I don't think they'd accept this as a "project") which would be a trustworthy way for people to pay for the shirts so we don't have 1 guy £300 out of pocket!
I just haven't found a site which doesn't take a cut of your funds (other than Kickstarter, but thats just for US) or someone we could deliver the shirts to!

You could always put them on UK's eBay or something.

I think it's a good idea but PLEASE!!! Do not profit off of this, or if you do, immediately donate the money back to Bungie, it's not right stealing money from these unfortunate kids and anything the Bungie community can do to help them will be awesome. So if you're not going to profit from it, I say go for it.

I might set up a RocketHub.com page (Crowdfunder.com seemed OK but the minimum project time is 30 days, so I wouldn't be able to afford the shirts until after they're gone).

My plan is to set a Burn Bright Burn Blue shirt as a reward for donating $34 (£21) or more (but still only 1 shirt per person). That covers the price of the shirt, the combined shipping from the US, postage within the UK plus RocketHubs fees.

I may set this up (no promising, if I do then it'll be tomorrow at the earliest), if I do would many people be interested?

Lorraine McLees is NOT somebody we don't even know. I've been a huge fan of her since I signed up for this site. I don't think I'll get the poster though; as badly as I want it.

Haha, I'm sure she's great and everything, just never heard of her. I'm not much of an art enthusiast, so maybe that's why.

Nice. In my past experiences, things always get to my house sooner than the timeframe I'm given, so I'm expecting it sooner than the 7th.

  • 06.29.2011 4:44 PM PDT

That would be nice and it would be nicer if I got that myth box.

Meh. Don't have a Mac and my laptop is broken, so I could care less on the Myth box.

I has a mac and it is a laptop :P
