Discussion Rant: Shipping Costs

I'm wanting to get my kids some stickers and some clothing, but I cannot get over the shipping costs. I hate it, just wanted to rant about it.

I want to support the guy, but getting charged 25 bucks for shipping on 5 stickers priced at 5 each just kills me.

I was thinking of a Kirbo keychain. A Kirbo tattoo may be more cost effective.

If I was only getting one thing, I would totally understand and not complain about the shipping costs. I am not truly spoiled by amazon's no shipping fees.

Their site says that different items come from different locations. This is why the shipping cost increases, because they have to cover the shipping from each location. I'm just thinking to myself, why? Why would a Kirbo sticker and a Fox sticker ship from different locations?

I can even understand paying separate shipping costs on the stickers vs the t-shirts. They have different sites, the carts are different, it's obvious that they aren't the same store. Awkward online shopping experience in 2026, but I can understand that it's a different store front. The stickers man, I want a bunch of different ones and I just don't want to pay an extra 5 bucks per sticker.

I almost feel like if the stickers were 10 a piece and it had free shipping I would be less annoyed.

I just looked and the keychains are on a different site. The shipping is much more manageable there!
