Re: AC online Shop
I have tried several times now; but there does not seem to be an option to purchase outside the U.S. at present.
Two things seem to re-occur, one is that the item quantity starts with '2' even tho' I request '1', and then, when I choose a method of payment it defaults to confirmation of address which does not appear to permit an address outside of North America.
Frustratin' innit!?
All I can suggest is 'watch that space' it may change?

Re: AC online Shop
So they have fixed up the address issue so you can now order from overseas
BUT
The postage for 1 (ONE) Halloween T Shirt to Australia is quoted at $112.89 ( thats one hundred and twelve dollars for UPS postage )
FMD - I dont think I'll bother

I have not tried the UK shipping deal with this yet - since the issue was 'fixed' - but I have experienced a problem similar to this before.nurserozetta wrote:So they have fixed up the address issue so you can now order from overseas

I "think" this may have something to do with Customs and Excise Duty, rather than just Postage and Packing.
On a previous purchase (but through a different American based supplier) I bought what was quite an expensive shirt.
There was a significant delay with the despatch, and I was becoming anxious about it, as it was quite an expensive item. When it eventually turned up I had a card from the Post Office which advised there was Duty to pay. It was a bit like being held for ransom, as my shirt was at the local Post office, but they wanted what amounted to about another 40% of the purchase price, on top of which I had already paid P&P.
So, I'm guessing the price you have been quoted may include Duty; which could be why it seems so expensive.
The only way I know of, for artists or their merchandisers to circumvent the problem is to permit printing 'under licence' in the locality.

Re: AC online Shop
I would be happy to help anyone out in the UK (only). You can have the package sent to my address in San Diego and I will ship it for you. I will put " gift " on the customs sticker and a nominal amount in the value which should stop you paying any tax on it. I will let you know the postage it costs me and you can send that amount to my parents address in Liverpool.

This is a very considerate offer; and I am hoping that you will not be inundated with too many requests!pitkin88 wrote:I would be happy to help anyone out in the UK (only).

I go to my post office box at least 3 times a week so it's not such a big deal. Just pm me if you need help.
Re: AC online Shop
I just found out they won't ship to a PO Box. I think they use UPS which would explain it. The postage costs even for the US are pretty outrageous. I've used a PO Box for yrs as I had my mail stolen at my apt complex. Fear not as I can ship to my mother in-laws and pick it there. She only lives 5 mins away.
