International Shipping Rates – Effectively Reduced!
by Take Flight on Sep.08, 2010, under For Our Customers, News
We are extremely excited to announce that our international shipping rates have officially been reduced! Actually, they have not only been reduced, they have been more than cut in half! This is something we have been working towards for months and we so happy to finally be able to offer these lower shipping rates to international Traceurs.
With our new international shipping rates now in effect Traceurs can buy Parkour clothing regardless of their global location without having to pay steep shipping costs. In fact, these changes (done in partnership with the United States Postal Service) are so good that on an order placed from England for two medium PK t-shirts, the shipping cost is about the same as that same order placed from California! The trick is that we actually loose money on the shipping costs on most international orders. Meaning: what you, as a non-U.S. based customer, will pay for shipping when you checkout with your order is actually less than what we’ll pay for the direct shipping cost to send it to you.
Ultimately, we believe and stand behind this change even with the added effort and cost on our end. We received countless emails from Traceurs in England and around the world regarding the standard USPS shipping rates, and we made it a point to work with them to get the rates reduced for the benefit of the international Parkour community.
*The one thing that the shipping cost does not cover is tax. If your home government decided to put a VAT (value added tax) on your import, this will not be covered.
