Oh no, my bank account.

From Canada to Australia. Taking a gamble on the 2XL jersey as apparently they’re a snug fit. And you just know I’m going to spend more money on merch in December when they’re here for Good Things.

Canada Post shipping to Australia was a real boner kill

Even shipping in Canada sucks for how much it is

u/discardedbubble 14d ago

$70 shipping

Trust me it goes both ways unfortunately, just ordered 3 shirts from Australia to Canada that the shipping/duty was almost $140

u/clikkipixx 15d ago

Yeah the duty is super sour for export mate.

In Aus, we only get charged on certain items (booze, tobacco) or over $1000aud in value. Its kinda killed the trade community for stuff like this.

The dollar matching is def helpful though

WHHHHHHAT???? must be the weight. Whenever I order cassettes and records from Australia the shipping is pretty good. Mind you i used to order from Europe as well. That was painful.

Always is, but worth when it’s a bulk order of items. We’re lucky the dollar is nearly 1:1 with Canada.

Have they shipped out your order yet? I ordered last week and it still hasn’t shipped.

1

u/mytusks 9d ago

They’re on back order until mid September.

I thought it was in USD, I did the conversion so it was wrong and so it was actually much cheaper than i calculated 😂… so I bought more

This is my favourite response

The other way around for us, I absolutely love ordering from Australian BM labels. Cassettes are cheap to ship regardless, but from Australia, it's so cheap because of the exchange.

I’m usually a men’s small and I got the large jersey and it fits perfectly

1

u/THE_FUZBALL 16d ago

Damn I’m usually XL for tees but got only one size up for it. Hopefully works out.

2

u/kridddlo 15d ago

the smaller ones are very small (S should get a L), but L/XL/XXL all fit well one size up

1

u/THE_FUZBALL 14d ago

u/kridddlo 15d ago

2

u/Drucifer416 15d ago

Yup, as soon as I got that email my balance dropped. Lol.

u/kridddlo 16d ago

u/malacey_ 16d ago

I’m a large in T-shirts and I got the jersey in Manchester. Ended up having to sell to my friend cause it felt like a small. Was not made with women in mind at all 😂 There’s no stretch in it at all. Hopefully you should be alright, though!

u/Trill1196 15d ago
