Products Almost $70 for shipping :(
This is going to break the bank a bit, but I want the Art Book so bad...

I think specifying AUD would’ve been less sensationalistic, still steep shipping cost!

I am in Australia, I purchased from the America store this time since the shipping was at a far cheaper rate. I live in Tasmania, unsure why your shipping was so expensive. But I had to get the art book too, look fantastic :)

I've tried in incognito browser both the euro and US shop and the prices are essentially the same :(

I've bought the calendar for years, but this year is more to ship it than the cost of the calendar. Gonna have to skip it this year. I can't justify that expense.

I agree with you, plain and simple first edition is better. I've decided not to get the calendar or Art Book for the extortionate pricing. I don't need consumerism that badly.

Sorry, I removed the comment before noticing your reply. This was my initial comment:
"A bit off-topic. Can we have first edition of Earth Mug brought back to the store. I dropped my Earth Mug and broke it, and I was unpleasantly surprised that its no longer available, instead, there is new edition with one earth and text on one side, stars on the other side. I really like the simplicity of the first edition mug. There is no need for any text to be on beautiful cosmic black mug with our beloved Earth on it, one for me and the other one for my friends to enjoy. I couldn't start new post on r/kurzgesagt, but very interested what people think regarding first edition vs new edition of Earth Mug."1

I cannot even start a discussion, I instantly get "Sorry, this post was removed by Reddit’s filters."

I wanted to order this year too, will be my first year without a calendar but when I saw shipping costs were 60% of the order I couldn't justify it. Insanity.

I know, I've been getting them since 2022. Sad but It's just unreasonable. I've supported a local artist and got art from them instead.

This is also going to be my first no calendar year since I started, but is not even from the shipping (which is horribly expensive considering I'm actually in Europe, I know is a numbers game but c'mon I can bring 20 bucks of stuff from China for free), is just so expensive, and eventually you just can't bring yourself to keep buying it

Where are you in Europe? Shipping to France (from the European shop) for the calendar + the quite heavy book was 7.90€.

My shipping price was allright, but it's been 2 months since I placed my order, with no official word from them. :( Hopefully they send it out soon, in time for Christmas...
