I know it has nothing to do with the store itself but this is a great idea. I want to second that. Should be atleast the mid size of those starbucks mugs. Please TL think about this great mans idea.
Did you already ask for what price you can make the t-shirts in europe? Because the prices in USD are really cheap and well priced. Even with almost double the cost of a t-shirt in shipping it is reasonably priced. I'm wearing the TL teamshirt right now but I might have been wearing one of the super awesome new shirts. What put me off from getting one was that I forgot shipping was almost half, so it didn't feel like a great bargain since I would have to get more t-shirts to reduce the shipping cost relative to one t-shirt, and having to spent a larger sum upfront is a typical barrier to entry. If it's possible to reduce the price though you will always sell more. Price elasticity or something.
I'd totally get a mug. That is such a good idea. You are almost always drinking and even if you aren't, there could very well be an empty cup around. Very fun decoration.
I would also like to make an appeal for a random shirt. This is something almost nobody does. It's always T, Z or P themed and totally neglect random. Besides a true random shirt you move towards a more general starcraft shirt that tries to accompany things from all races. Like the 3 wolves shirt.
When the shipping cost nearly as the product of course I don't buy it. But if the shipping is a reasonable price I think I will buy a TL shirt with the new logo Love the design btw!
Would definitely buy TL merch if the shipping was less than what it is at the moment, as everyone before me has said, having the shipping be nearly as much as the item you're buying is quite discouraging.
More love for EU, we are many over here who loves TL and eSports!
i'd buy stuff for sure. as it is right now, 16-17$ shipping for a 16-21$ shirt is not exactly a good deal, especially with how fast the good stuff sells out before you can really consider spending that kind of cash on shipping, which is enough of an unknown in itself across large distances.
Well i dont care about the prizes that much, but MUCH more for the reliability of the service. I have already ordered a TL shirt from the second batch, the money didnt arrive to TL so the shirt didnt get shipped. I have also ordered a shirt from the third batch, the money were already subtracted from my bank account, but it has already been two months and the shirt didnt arrive yet. So no, I dont really care if the shipping is that high or that it takes a month to arrive, i just want to be sure that my things will arrive.
Sounds like a great idea, I have a small industrial unit with space for storage space, I'd be happy to take a bulk order and mail everything out if needed. I'm based in England
i would definitly buy all of the three new tl shirts! also, the shipping time would be way better. still waiting for my TL-Team shirt(3rd batch), it was shipped on october 31...
I live in Germany.. and did order TL shirts ~4 weeks ago.. I still didnt get them and if I do I have to pay duty on top what I've paid already.. so this kinda blows
Therefore shipping from inside Europe would be awesome.
While the three new pieces if artwork are great in and of themselves, I don't feel as if they work well on t-shirts; other articles of clothing, perhaps. The only garment I've been interesting in buying is the TL Team Shirt but, unfortunately and coincidentally, I have been out of town for every sale they've had so far, despite not travelling often. I would not purchase a videogame via TL simply because the prices aren't competitive enough; I'm aware that this is an issue with the supplier. (I bought SC2 from Amazon, near launch, for a lower price than it is now - on both US and EU sites. Similarly, Diablo III can be pre-ordered for around $15USD less than the current offer.)
Certainly, the probability of me purchasing anything from the TL store greatly increases if P&P/S&H is lowered, though several other variables that are independent of the shipping cost factor in to why I have not done so already.
Already bought a Protoss-TL shirt and might buy more shirts or a poster if the shipping is less. Silly to buy 13 $ poster and pay 11 $ for shipping, as the shipping cost is not lower if you buy shirts at the same time due to packaging issues.
