I’ve actually had an Ubuntu t-shirt for a while, but it was a men’s size that was far too big on me. Imagine my delight when Canonical began offering a women’s shirt.<\/p>\n

…except it said “Linux for Ladies” instead of “Linux for Human Beings”<\/a>. This was sorted out after some discussion and Canonical started offering the shirts with the normal Human Beings phrase on them.<\/p>\n

The shirts were $16.42 USD, which is quite reasonable – but the shipping for one shirt? About $14. Yikes! Maybe I’ll wait on this…<\/p>\n

So at an event a couple months back it was suggested that the New Jersey and Pennsylvania teams go in together on a big group order to try to cut down on shipping. This was organized by David Harding<\/a> of the NJ LoCo and handled through their wiki<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Once everyone had their orders in we split up the shipping costs and so my shirt ended up being $16.42 plus just $3.05 in shipping costs. Clearly the group order was the way to go on this. So we sent off the order.<\/p>\n

The order got stuck in customs but was delivered to David in a reasonable amount of time. Unfortunately it arrived with an unexpected customs charge of $59.73, $23 of which could have been avoided by proper declaration of goods – ouch. David explains further in this mail to the -marketing list<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So where are we at? Right, my $16.42 t-shirt, plus $3.05 in regular shipping, plus $3.68 for my share of the customs charges. The total came to $23.15. I bumped it up to $25 when I wrote the check to David so he could drop the t-shirt in the mail since I had no clue when we’d see each other next.<\/p>\n

Finally I have my Ubuntu T-Shirt! $25 is a bit steep for a t-shirt, so I won’t be ordering another, but it’s ok to do once, especially since it’s a very nice shirt! :)<\/p>\n
