IMPORTANT: Higher Prices or Less Merch?! (Patreon)
Content
Due to UK's shipping agreements with countries such as the US, and the increased risks of COVID19, the cost to ship out Pin Club Parcels has increased 4 times since the beginning of the year. In January, March, May and now again in September.
I had decided against raising any pricing or making any changes to the tiers as I wanted to keep the cost affordable for everyone, especially with the current financial situations around the world.
Unfortunately with this last raise of fees, Pin Club would not be making any profit at all. I'm afraid we are at a crossroads and an important decision needs to be made.
We can, together as a club, decide between:-
- Raising the cost of each tier by not more than £2 GBP.
- Remove Stickers and Prints from all tiers.
Prints would be removed entirely to reduce and print costs, while stickers would be made available as an extra charge each month available through the website.
Both options would balance out the current charges.
NOTE: You will not be able to use the monthly discount to get your stickers for free.
I am immensely sorry for this inconvenience and want to make sure it is discussed together as a group.
MORE IMPORTANTLY
All this aside, I have another major announcement related to my work, my career and my future which I need to share with you all. This announcement will be coming later this week and directly involves why you have not all received your passwords and discounts for the month just yet.
Thank you all for your ongoing support, patience and kindness.
