I have just read the thread on the 7.50 for a sticker to Virginia, and I have a similar concern/issue with the shipping charges. I live in Canada and frequently have items shipped from the states. I actually just purchased two t-shirts from snorgtees (shipping $7.00) I have had shirts and hats shipped from Jynx (shipping $11.00) Actually the Jynx purchase was a Diggnation Hat and Tee before Revision 3 decided to host their own store.
Ok so I try and purchase a Revision 3 tee at a cost of 11.99. Shipping $29.70. USPS Express Mail at that. A tee shirt which can be placed in a padded envelope and shipped for under $10.00.
Bottom line: I would love to purchase Revision 3 merchandise and I would love to support the shows that I watch. But there is no way I am paying 3 times the cost of the item to have it shipped to Canada.
If someone from Revision 3 would like to contact me and offer me some reasonable shipping option, I would be glad to drop some cash on some merchandice, but I am not thowing my hard earned cash away....

Unfortunatly, I've noticed that we get screwed over for shipping quite a bit here. The same thing happened to me when I wanted to order some Jones soda online: the same price of the product. Let's hope Rev3 can offer some cheaper options for international shipping, because I too would like to buy a Diggnation shirt, but I'm not paying that much
Yea I was not going to buy anything because I figured that there would be shipping issues for Canadians, thanks guys for posting now I know for sure. :(

Those bottle openers if you have a dollar tree type store where ya live, look there can sometimes get them for a buck. Just won't have the diggnation logo.

i don't have a store like that near me. i live in northern ontario and im quite far from the good stores. atleast a 2 hour drive to do holiday shopping or even to get a nice gift for a birthday or something. its just too bad that we canadians get jipped always when it comes to shipping. its the reason i dont get my tea from adagio. those tea guys are awsome tho they gave me 10$ off my order b\ci didn't finish filling it out b\c it was horrible shipping. 30$ is just horrible and i think they need to find a better company to do thier shipping.

I think else where Prager said he was looking into the high shipping cost. But never really got back to us on anything.

I too live in Canada, and have been a fan of DiggNation since almost the beginning, I would love to buy some Tee shirts, hat, and Beer Glasses....
But no way I am paying those kind of shipping fees...
To bad there isn't a way to license a company north of 49, that could transship the products from within Canada... I know there are only 30,000,000 of us up here, and I suppose if you crunch the numbers it probably doesn't make economical sense.
But what if you got a few more US sights on board, collectively it might be a doable thing.....
