Free shipping on orders above $99
We”ve looked at the results of our free shipping experiment over the past few weeks. The results were very encouraging and lead to an increase of orders from faraway places. In light of this we”re now offering you free shipping on any and all orders that are more than $99 or 99 Euro depending on which currency you pay us in. We like the fact that we can make it cheaper for you to order from us and can now get your goods, concept models, lamps, book ends and all the other awesomeness for less. We hope this encourages you to make more things with us and let more of your creations to stream in for us to make.
We know that many people would like to also have free shipping on orders below $99. At the moment we”re not ready to do this. There is a lot of handling involved with small parts and this drives up their cost and overal costs. It will be easier for us to control costs and lower overal prices in the long term if we concentrate on stimulating you to make larger pieces. In the long run we”d like to make things “on a human scale” and larger items fit well into this idea. If we now encourage you now to make many tiny things with us we risk not being able to lower prices later on because production will be more labor intensive and expensive. We hope that you understand this. Enjoy the discount and keep those orders comming!

We mentioned this briefly in the Site redesign post but thought we”d shout it from the rooftops once again because we noticed that some community members had missed the post. Â
