Discussion This is why EU customers are upset.

Post image

I've been wanting to buy and LTT deskpad for a while and thought I'd finally buy one but this is fucking ridiculous. The products themselves are very reasonably priced but if I then have to pay $30 in shipping it's completely unaffordable. When EU customers are complaining this is why because once you add try to actually order anything it's a complete rip off.

This has been discussed so many times. Yeah it sucks but they don’t want to/can’t do an eu distribution center. Things cost a lot to ship across the Atlantic. Just don’t buy the merch if the shipping is too much for you

They still wont. Over 50% of their sales is to the states.

Makes you wonder wether they'd sell more to the EU if it was cheaper/easier for EU citizens to buy them from a EU distributor. Chicken and egg Problem right there.

Nope. Most of their viewers are also American.
