Matthew, checking the math, the MVS Contributors still get billed for $4 shipping.

Navy - $20 - $4 shipping any number - US and Canada

Please check the math. I haven't tested this yet. There is no tax because I didn't want an additional headache.


Royal - $24 - $4 shipping any number - US and Canada

Please check the math. I haven't tested this yet. There is no tax because I didn't want an additional headache.

Don't put Royal shirts in the dryer for the first few washes. The ink is thicker, and I tested on low heat dryer and it "grabbed" a little. High heat would have not been great.


International

Because it's difficult to find exactly how much shipping is, I'm going to do an in-person test at the USPS of various countries. (Really, the shipping matrix for size/weight/packaging/destination is so great, I couldn't find good answers.) I'll update this thread when I know. I'll keep a number of shirts in reserve for international MVS members.

Eddy, I'm not seeing this behavior.

Steps:

Click on either of the two "for MVS Contributors – free shipping" links
(If you have anything in your cart, "Remove" those items, then start over to ensure a clean test.)
You should see a total of either $20 or $24, depending on Navy/Royal

Ok, here's where we stand.

US and Canada

If you're an MVS Contributor, this PayPal system is working fine. Just order. You'll pay the correct amount and I'll ship your shirt(s). You'll receive them, wear them, gain youth and energy, and suddenly be the center of a wide group of friends and admirers.

If you're not an MVS Contributor and buying one shirt, this PayPal system is working fine. Just order. You'll pay the correct amount and I'll ship your shirt. You'll receive it, wear it, gain youth and energy, and suddenly be the center of a wide group of friends and admirers.

If you're not an MVS Contributor and buying multiple shirts but they're all the same color, this PayPal system is working fine. Just order. You'll pay the correct amount and I'll ship your shirts. You'll receive them, wear them, gain youth and energy, and suddenly be the center of a wide group of friends and admirers.

If you're not an MVS Contributor and buying multiple shirts and they're different colors, this PayPal system is not working fine. Please stand by for instructions. At this time I think I'll go ahead and just have you pay the total, which will be $4 over, and I'll reimburse you via PayPal. I need more coffee to be able to know this is the right move.

International Orders

I'll have an answer tomorrow on how much shipping costs to 2-3 countries for individual packages, then I'll be able to make a decision on individual vs. the bulk shipping/point distribution volunteer method.

Note: Don’t put Royal shirts in the dryer for the first few washes. The ink is thicker, and I tested on low heat dryer and it “grabbed” (shrank vs. the fabric it's laid onto) a little. High heat would have not been great.

For shirts with thick ink like these, I've found that never putting it in the dryer is the best move.

If you do use the dryer, please don't for the first several washes, then please only use low heat.

PayPal, sigh.

The reason for this fiasco is they're retiring the legacy Buy Now/Cart buttons, which I've used for selling MVS shirts for a decade, and adopting a terrible Simple/Complex system.

The simple end of it is a Buy Now button, without a cart, which doesn't work for my shirts for buyers who want more than one shirt per package.

The complex end of it is... complex. It's an API framework (coding). At this point in my career I'm trying to avoid things like this rather than take them on.

So I'm using the legacy system, which is broken, but they don't know or don't care because it's being retired.

I'm looking at Apple Pay for further, future MVS products. https://gbksoft.com/blog/integrate-appl ... p-website/

There are no fees with Apple Pay. PayPal takes money out of each of these MVS shirts payments. So that $20 shirt isn't $20 on my end, it's $18.something. Without these lecherous fees, the shirts would be $18/$22 to you.

No, you don't need an Apple device or Apple account to use Apple Pay. You only need a credit card.

So it offers every consumer convenience of PayPal, but inflicts none of the vampirical effects of PayPal on me.

Thanks Manov.

I've emailed 3 MVS members -- Serbia, France and New Zealand -- to get their addresses. When I hear back I'll send them their shirts from my local USPS. Then I'll know for certain how much the cost is for direct packages. If the cost is around $10 or less, I think direct is the way to go. Less complexity than a box/local distribution.
