Project Update: Shipping Rate Estimate Changes - Please Read
Hey!
This is one update I really wish I didn't have to make, but Royal Mail has revealed their shipping price changes for the upcoming year and they have gone a lot more than was anticipated - roughly 30% across the board for anything that weighs over 100 grams.
While I had already estimated a price increase and rolled this into my shipping estimate, I had not anticipated this surge and unfortunately it means I will have to adjust the expected shipping prices for international orders. UK orders remain unchanged.
After this price increase I have looked into alternative couriers but none of the good ones are affordable (I heard you, everyone who pleaded with me to not even entertain the thought of using EVRI), so with that in mind, the shipping estimates I have now created are based on Royal Mail, DPD and USPS rates.
Please find the upgraded estimated prices (plus a reminder on how shipping is calculated) below.
I am very sorry about this but I want to be as upfront about the shipping costs as possible so hopefully nobody gets an unpleasant surprise later. In order to keep some of the rates down I will be eating some of the extra shipping cost, but there are limits to what I can afford to do.

Due to the varied types of product in this campaign there will be different shipping rates depending on the items you have picked. The product type that has the 'highest' shipping rate will be used to calculate your shipping.
The 3 product categories, from expensive to least expensive, are 1) T-Shirts 2) Acrylic Charms and 3) Patches and Vinyl Stickers.
Example: You're located in the US and you buy two t-shirts and 4 acrylic charms. This means you will pay the shipping rate for two or more t-shirts as this is the highest shipping rate (18 GBP).
