    Same as you guys, cool stuff I've always wanted but killer shipping. This should be good!

    Ok got some stuff, now conditions.
    Free shipping is:
    International Economy Shipping
    For orders to Canada and Australia (more countries coming soon!) in addition to express shipping via DHL and UPS, we offer Economy Shipping via local postal agencies. International Economy Shipping is available for smaller, lighter orders — less than approximately 4 pounds and totaling less than $100. Orders shipped using Economy Shipping may take up to 1-3 weeks for delivery and tracking is not available. Please note that orders shipped via Economy shipping cannot be rerouted after shipment.

      I put in my order for:
      x1 Laboratory Beaker Mug
      x2 Tetris mug
      x1 T-shirt

      I did not get the free shipping… the shipping came to ~$50.
      Surely, all those items do not add up to 4 pounds??

      • Chongy288 on 16/03/2012 - 11:51

        yeha it must have… 4 pounds really isn't much…

      • conio on 17/03/2012 - 11:40

        4 pounds = 1.81436948 kilograms

    Never again.

  • brent3000 on 15/03/2012 - 13:49

      I went on the Think Geek chat and they said it was a 4 pound limit…who is right?

  • theguyrules on 15/03/2012 - 13:49

    I ordered a bit of stuff that I had in my cart this morning.
    it charged my PayPal But think geek says the order didn't go through. :s

    I have faith that they'll fix it though.

  • theguyrules on 15/03/2012 - 13:50

    Also I really REALLY want the Messenger Bag of Holding, but it doesn't qualify for economy shipping, which would make it $50 + ~$50 shipping.
    I want it ;_;

    • Dan_ on 15/03/2012 - 16:33

      well… at least I don't have to decide whether or not to get it now.

      • theguyrules on 15/03/2012 - 18:27

        It sucks, I'm gonna jump on chat and ask them why it's so much.

        • Kugz on 15/03/2012 - 23:03

          I just bought the Bag of Holding (Backpack) edition and was eligible for free shipping. I tried to order the normal messenger back and it wasn't eligible. You can still get your Bag of Holding for cheap! $60 for backpack edition (which can become a messenger bag too!) rather than $100 for normal edition ;)

        • theguyrules on 15/03/2012 - 23:42

          WOAH! THanks man!

        • Kugz on 15/03/2012 - 23:52

          Glad I could help :) I've wanted this bag for months!

        • theguyrules on 15/03/2012 - 23:56

          Except it's $70 not $60 for the backpack. Still, if it can do both, its better.

        • Kugz on 15/03/2012 - 23:58

          Oh yeah I'm an idiot, only saw the first figure and thought it was $60 not $69.99. Was too quick to purchase! I was 'this close' to spending the $110 to buy it and get it here. I'll save $40 and wait a bit longer :) sorry for making you think it was $60 :P

        • theguyrules on 16/03/2012 - 00:14

          WEll, thats ok. I'm on chat now asking if they can send the Messenger one via economy, since I don't think I'd ever use the backpack version.

          To save $10 would be nice as I've already spent $45 on this site today :S

          EDIT: Ordered the backpack one.

        • GaryQ on 16/03/2012 - 10:01

          This is worse than playing Jenga - I've added the Backpack 3 times now… and the free shipping only showed up the first time… then an LED umbrella tipped me over the limit, so I built the list again, and only DHL or UPS are available now… I think they have 'fixed' the weight on the Backpack of Holding so that it no longer fits into the 2.2kg

          Waah! My daughter would have loved this

        • theguyrules on 16/03/2012 - 11:11

      • Turd on 15/03/2012 - 15:44

        Depends on the caffeine or product some products are banned in australia so most likely customs may sieze it, so thinkgeek do not send them.

        • lou knee on 16/03/2012 - 00:13

          Think Geek don't post most caffeinated products to Australia but Chemical Evolution do. I've ordered from them a couple of times and have never had a problem with customs.

  • Scratch2k on 15/03/2012 - 15:29

    Filled my cart with $54 worth of small items and went to checkout but the shipping charge for economy is still $9.95 so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

    • Scratch2k on 15/03/2012 - 15:34

      Ignore that, the shipping charge is shown when you select shipping but the cart reflects the shipping price of $0.

      (not SUCH a great deal really since the free shipping only applies to small items - under 4 pounds - which would normally only cost $10ish to ship anyway).

      • Elijha on 15/03/2012 - 15:56

        I think they didn't even offer international economy in the past .. I remember minimum shipping costing me like $35 for a $15 item.

  • zzyss on 15/03/2012 - 15:47

    I always seem to find random things I want off that site throughout the years, without even searching, but shipping has always been too expensive. Now that there's free shipping; I can't find a single thing I want. Wtf?

    • ragflan on 15/03/2012 - 16:56
      +10

      The difference is that today you'll actually have to complete the transaction since shipping is no longer the thing limiting you from buying. So the things that you always thought, "Fuck, I would totally buy this if not for the expensive shipping." now seems like, "Fuck, do I really need this?"

  • cruise control on 15/03/2012 - 16:48

    • Kugz on 15/03/2012 - 23:01

      hold the boat! I managed to order the special edition (backpack) version of the Bag of Holding with free economy shipping. Only the regular messenger back was unavailable for the free shipping!

      • SpaceFrog on 16/03/2012 - 18:28

        Has anyone got a link to this backpack? I see people mentioning it, but I can't find it.

        EDIT: DERP found it, same product, just click the dropdown box to order. It appears to be the exact same bag, but it has back strap(s) attached to it.

    • soan papdi on 15/03/2012 - 23:05

      Five messenger bags at $59.99 per bag shipped is $299.95 + $109.29 = $81.84 per bag. If anyone in Melbourne is willing to get in, then we could buy it together
