- For those of you who use Wordpress for their blogs (and, with the greatest respect to Anil Dash, I suspect that its most of you), you may have noticed that Wordpress now has shirts for sale internationally. I like the color red, which is fortunate, because it turns out you can only get these Wordpress logo emblazoned shirts in red. What I don’t really like, however, is the shipping costs. I live in Canada, so to get those T-shirts shipped to Canada (from a Chicago area shipping station) actually *more than doubles* the cost of the T-shirt. The actual shirt costs $17. Shipping cost? $17.50. The funny thing is that if you live in, say, Timbuktu, the cost of shipping *there* (in fact, *anywhere* in the world) from the UK is only 4.50 pounds. which is about half the cost of the T-shirt (9.50 pounds). I’d love a T-shirt, but there is no way I’m paying more than the actual cost of the T-shirt in shipping costs. And does it really make sense that it costs more to ship to Timbuktu than Toronto?
