@markiplier is there any way we can get the shipping costs down on the shirts? As much as I want one, I’m not paying more on the shipping than I am for the actual shirt.
$32 for shipping is ridiculous, and I know this may not be in your hands but is there any way you can talk to the company about this? I’m sure many other people are in my position as well and aren’t able to afford international shipping, which is a real shame seeing as this is probably one of the coolest shirts you’ve ever sold.
Where are you shipping too? I completely agree that people shouldn’t be paying that much for international. Will talk with them right now.
Anyone else getting crazy international shipping?
So I got a response and it’s because they’re including the international tax and duty fees that would have to be paid anyway but aren’t usually lumped in with the upfront shipping cost (which is still usually high for international anyway)
And while that makes sense I still don’t think that’s ok. This is a new merch partner I’m working with and I didn’t grill them on their international setup before this shirt came out. The ideal is to have international manufacturers or at least warehouses around the globe to ship from so that not everything is crazy expensive every time.
But obviously that’ll take some time to get in order so if you guys want to wait to buy then please do. I don’t want people to feel gouged for these so I’m gonna have a nice long talk with them about how to fix this.
I’m having a hard time believing it’s taxes and duty fees. I honestly think it’s because they’re using DHL as the shipping company as opposed to UPS or FedEx. Obviously that’s out of your hands, but I don’t think they’re being honest.
Living in Australia shipping fees and duty taxes are some of the highest there is, but I can still buy products from Tee-fury, Represent or Society6 for no higher than $10 USD in shipping costs. I know it will take something like 3 weeks to get here, but that’s the way it is.
Also I know DHL has high fees as they use a different service. It courier not mail if that makes sense.
Either way, I’m not in a position to tell you how to run things Mark, but as someone who does a lot of overseas shipping, both too and from my country, I’d say look into what this shirt company has told you, it just doesn’t seem right to me.
So I just had a thought that really surprised me. With all this humans are weird stuff that’s blown up lately, I haven’t once seen a concept about the oldest alien human trope around, abduction. Literally every one I’ve read, humans and aliens have official first contact abd are surprised by each other.
But what about human history with everyone who’s claimed to see ships or aliens and such? We’re those just stories? Or renegade aliens taking humans? And for what? Study? Commodity? We’re these visits official and recorded and was what they found so scary that they left us alone till official first contact?
I can just imagine some human lost alone in the galaxy just…surviving, years after getting abducted and ramboing their way out of captivity, and the incident was so freaky the aliens were like nah, no way, let’s give it another 50 years
Today at my school we had an assembly about internet predators and when I had said that most of my true friends are over the internet and they gave me a lecture about how “I don’t know who I’m talking to” blah blah. So please, if you aren’t a predator in any way, please reblog so i can prove a point.
If you don’t reblog this, then I am honestly very concerned.
everytime i see this im gonna reblog it and weed out my pedo followers
Mom: So you’re talking to someone you don’t even know? What if she’s an old man?
Me: WTF Mom. She’s already mentioned many times that she’s obviously NOT an old man, and I’ve heard her voice. *plays one of her awesome vids* I don’t think an old man would sound like that.
Mom: Well… Still. Be careful out there. And no matter what, don’t try to meet these people in person.
Me: You do realize that the people I’m talking about help warn others of those kind of people? They aren’t evil old men. They’re artists. I just don’t get why you won’t let go of the fact that they aren’t freaking pedophiles messed up people! They’re actually really nice!
Reblog if this has happened to you.
An old man? Pfffft, frick that’s the same excuse my parents use. What’s if it’s an old woman predator? HM? But yeah that’s a gross misuse of the internet, and its disgusting in all honesty. Reasons why i take precautions (private profile, only people you follow can message you) those types of things.

I met one of my best friends while reading fanfiction and began RPing; that was back in 2011, we are still talking to this day as well as RPing. I cannot wait for the day when we can finally meet in person.
Oh geez, ever since I joined FurAffinity in 08-09, and then came to Tomblr in early 2013, the list of friends/furrs/fan-peeps I would kill to meet is a helluva long one 😍❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
@buzzrose. You’re awesome! Out of thousands of people on tumblr, I am always infinitely glad I found you.
To the tumblr collectivity: I am not a pedophile -_-. (or a predator, my dudes)
😁😁😁😁 Same dude same! And yeah guys I’m not a pedophile/predator either, I’m pretty harmless
HHHHHHHHH
When I met @skeletonhater143 , I had to convince my mother that they were not a creepy old man/woman. I had to explain that I had texted and called them and they slunded like the average teenager. Was that enough? Nope. I had to show a picture of them in order for her to believe me.
Meanwhile, dad was super chill and had a full on conversation with them. Although he did want to make sure, he didn’t need to know all of their history. He just wanted to know if they were my age and if they were cool – which they are. And, the only reason he even asked about talking to them on the phone is because I was already talking to them and had brought them up a few times before.
