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.

No Sales Tax

If you haven’t heard us say it before then we’ll say it again: at Take Flight we are committed to bringing you the highest quality Parkour apparel at the absolute best price. One of the ways we do this is by not charging sales tax and passing the savings on to you.
At Take Flight we absolutely do NOT charge tax on any orders. When you see the Original Parkour Tee listed for $14.95 that is the final price. There are no ifs, and,s or buts, about it, and no conditional statements either. We are able to circumvent this mandatory tax because of our location.
In 45 of the 50 states that make up the United States of Americathere is a sales tax. The sales tax is added onto all transaction sales conducted in that state when purchases are made by the final user including purchases of things like groceries, appliances, cell phones, and clothing. The added tax can be as high as 8.25% (as it is California) as usually runs between 4% and 7%. Fortunately, Take Flight was founded in one the five states without a sales tax: Oregon. This means that we don’t have to charge tax. And we don’t.
Sales tax is a pain. It means that things never cost the price they are advertised for. A $.99 cheeseburger is $1.05 and that brand new car advertised in the paper for $16,500 really costs $17,655. But even if you pay sales tax on every purchase you make in your daily life, you can rest assured that when you purchase Parkour clothing from Take Flight you won’t pay one extra cent. The price listed is the final price. That is part of our value guarantee and our commitment to you.
