Going by the numbers on that page, ordering 3 umbrellas for shipment to the US makes each umbrella end up costing ~$33 (CHF:USD is *almost* 1:1, so that's ~$26 + ~$7 shipping). BUT: then there's whatever costs are associated with doing the wire transfer.... It looks like I should expect something like $30 or $50 in wire-transfer fees, which makes a 3-umbrella order still a little silly ($50 per umbrella? A little less if I find a bank with cheaper wire-transfers...), but 6 umbrellas would bring it down to ~$40 per, and it's diminishing returns beyond 9 umbrellas. I guess I'd be OK with getting a single $50 umbrella (that'd be the same price as my wife's NHPR travel mug...), but it'd be nice to hit the `$40 per' mark of 6 umbrellas. Now, the question is: does that sound reasonable to you? :) -- "Don't be afraid to ask (λf.((λx.xx) (λr.f(rr))))." > On Sat, Sep 1, 2012 at 2:05 PM, Joshua Judson Rosen > <roz...@geekspace.com> wrote: > > It looks like Debian Switzerland is selling these great Debian *umbrellas*, > > and the price of the umbrella is reasonable but the cost of shipping > > from Switzerland to the US makes it silly to buy just one; is anyone > > interested in doing a group buy of them? > > > > http://debian.ch/merchandise/#umbrellas > > > > -- > > "Don't be afraid to ask (λf.((λx.xx) (λr.f(rr))))." > > > > _______________________________________________ > > gnhlug-discuss mailing list > > gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org > > http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/ > _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
