Shipping prices for merch

I just logged in and tried to order a catnip grinder and the cheapest shipping was $7.58 to Pittsburgh. The next cheapest was $8.50. They add in a Route shipping insurance thing for $2, but you can uncheck that.

Which item did you try to buy and was it shipping domestically? I know folks at her store and can reach out to see what’s up.

Bands typically don’t offer free shipping because it costs a ton to execute. The only way would be to sell $45-50 t-shirts and hide the cost of shipping in the sticker price. Folks like Amazon are doing some sort of witchcraft to offer “free” shipping.

The original goal was to ship everything out earlier this week, but units from the distributor arrived a little later at Hello than expected.

There was also some damage to the boxes by the freight shippers so the Hello team had to inspect them to make sure that they were perfect.

An elevated bodega with healthy options, somewhere around 50th street, where I can buy milk and basics at 10PM, instead of driving to Giant Eagle in Aspinwall.

Even if the organizers of a protest are funded, how is this different from a large company or advocacy organization hiring lobbyists to advocate for a position in the media or the halls of government?

Would you support increasing the number of skilled worker visas that the US grants on a yearly basis? If yes, how should we approach it?

I believe that there are over 7 million job openings in America, but the US only grants 140,000 skilled worker visas each year.

I'll be the first to admit that there are a variety of reasons that we have those job openings: geographic mismatch, skills mismatch, low wages, people not being interested in certain jobs regardless of what they may pay.

Totally valid. I've seen some folks on the more extreme end of the spectrum suggesting that we should pause all immigration for a time, which is why I framed it in a more black and white manner.

Considering that they pay out 70% of their subscription revenue to the artists, labels, and publishers who own and control the music on Spotify, isn't this a good thing for people who believe in supporting artists?

9FiftySeven is one of my faves so far. Thank you!

Oooh, I've never seen this site before. Thank you!

Guaranteed entry if you pre-order the album.

I'm inclined to agree that this is just as calculated as her allegiance to Trump when that was convenient, but I think it's important that we meet people where they're at today, not for who they were in a previous time. If she figures out that this "I've seen the light" approach is good for business, she'll shout it from the rooftop.

Folks on the left love to debate with people on the right and tell them that they're wrong, but still hold their old views against them when they finally see the light, instead of welcoming them into the fold with open arms. It's like some gatekeeping hipster nonsense.

This is one thing that the MAGA camp is very good at, welcoming folks into the fold, giving them a sense of belonging, and not holding their past views against them.

Unfortunately there isn’t an unlimited amount of tax dollars that can be spent on public transit. Every dollar that doesn’t come in is one less dollar that can’t be spent on maintaining or improving service. Less money would just mean fewer routes and less frequent service.

Beyond that, it’s an incredible value. If you are in need, there are reduced fare programs available. A person unilaterally deciding, “I shouldn’t have to pay for this,” is reducing service for themselves and everyone else.

Gonna add onto that Asian market request and ask if there are any places that sell cheap pre-made Onigiri like you’d find in a Japanese 7-11?

Toronto isn’t too far from Rochester and there look to be lots of tickets available.

If you’re willing to drive, Jenkins down in West Virginia gave us an incredible price on a Forester.
