]]> 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?
