I was wondering what the deal with the shipping on this website is? They want $72 "Shipping and Handling" on an order of 2 tee's (The order itself is $90!). Is this 'cos I'm in the UK or would they still add huuuge costs to orders within the US? Whats the dilly yo'?

meh. kidrobot dealers are the best to deal with. we've got a small one here in Toronto (the official 'KidRobot Room' is within a terrible club I refuse to set foot in) and a typical T runs CDN35. Shipping on a T to the UK would be negligible.

samo emoda.com has a reasonable amount of kidrobot gear, and their international shipping is usually decent, I've bought from them a few times.

I'd like to know if there is somewhere in europe, I haven't found it...
I know a store in Bournemouth that sells kid robot stuff, but they never have a particularly good selection...
I just looked at emoda and they have about 8 different tee shirts, and not a great deal of shirts in medium... do they usually have more?
If a US resident purchased from kidrobot would they have to pay such a stupid amount for shipping?

from what I've seen emoda tend to get an even flow of kidrobot coming in, and it seems to sell reasonably quickly
I've seen tees, polos, shirts, hats & jackets there before, just a matter of keeping an eye out.

^Yeah, Richmond classics, fookin' pricey in there! Kidrobot.com has the best selection I've ever seen, but I think they are taking the piss with their shipping and handling costs! No way it's gonna cost them $72 to package and ship two tee's!

I used to order a fair bit, even did phone orders for the first few hoodies but stopped last year when they bumped shipping up, before that it was average. Shame really.

Anyone have any idea if US residents have to pay the same kind if astronomical shipping costs? Any UK or Europe based retailers?

most us online stores offer free shipping half the time.
btw, emoda got some new tees in, and they got a labor day sale which should still be vaild. spend over $100 on non-sale items and get 25% off - code: Labor09 if you're interested.
