Title: 555 Timer T-Shirt campaign
Post by: EEVblog on April 30, 2013, 11:49:40 am
I've added my 555 timer T-Shirt to Teespring:
http://teespring.com/555timer-grey (http://teespring.com/555timer-grey)
Only US$15
You only have 7 days to get this price though.
I was only charged $4.10 for DHL delivery to oz for two shirts.

Beauty :-+

Out of curiosity, what margin are you getting per shirt?

About $7 a shirt for 100+ :-+

These campaigns are great.  Makes it a good deal for an interesting tee, and I hate clothes shopping at the best of times...

$3.85 for shipping to ZA for me. Pretty good there.

If you change the country to South Africa, the shipping goes up to $10.50.  A little too rich for me unfortunately.

Nope, just checked..... South Africa, charge was $3.85. Card got billed  that amount as well. Might be because I have another on order as well, so they might well be including them all in one shipment. If Dave is getting about half the cost that is good.

Then, not want to doubt you I tried with PayPal. Sure enough it came up $4.10 with DHL just like Dave said. EXCEPT
and I'm not making this up, after a few seconds it changed to $10.50

I've been charged $4.10 via DHL twice now, and $10.50 also via DHL once. Crazy  :-//

I just got my 555 t-shirt! I feel like one of the cool kids now.

Oh wait- this thread is 4 years old  |O |O

What's on the next EE t-shirt? Need more bling

LM3909 uA709 or 741?

There is a school of thought that says to not do another run of the same t-shirt. It motivates people to get one or miss out. And it makes the original fixed in time so if you see someone wearing one you know.

I partially agree with this, although I missed out on the first run. Maybe the next round can be a LM556 ;-)

I have tons of ideas for new T-shirts, but... this begs the next level- I would say an EEVblog store  :-+

I want my EEVblog screwdriver, bumper stickers, baseball cap, clipboard, flashlight, resistor assortments, toolbox, test leads and all that good stuff that hopefully Dave has found useful. The multimeter I am patiently waiting for. Hmmm beer mug.
