What's next? Collectible plate sets? CSS.net snowglobes? Oh, oh, I got it, Pokemon style cards with the different years and trims. So stock for stock, the SS/TC wins, but you could evolve your SS/SC to say Stage 2, then to TVS, then to Turbo Swap or e85 and win, etc. I thought it was funny.

Can you clarify something?

How much does it cost for you to ship in USA in comparison to Canada?

I did lanyards like this on G5CLUB and I can tell you it cost me $1.90 to ship to US, $1.50 to ship in Canada...

When Brad received his, it said $1.98 on it I believe... So I don't see why there has to be any major difference?

The paperwork is easy too... You check off GIFT, put the date on it... post office can do the weight, you don't even have to write name/addr on it if its on the package... then you mark down item description as lanyard then put like $5 or some bs value and bam she's golden.

Just sayin' in my experience with order 300 lanyards.

Also the lanyards were about $3/pc with the bull dog clip...

ALSO NOTE: I did threaded, double sided & also has a break away too...

Yours is printed (so it will wear off), does not break away (ease of use), not double sided (doesn't look cool)... comparison pics side by side:




Think I charged my members $15 shipped anywhere... $12.00 if they were premium members shipped anywhere since the difference in shipping was only pennies. Cost was $3.50/lanyard if only 100 were ordered. Shipping was $20 on box of 100 lanyards...

Just throwing that out there. Notice mine has bull dog clip (not as cool as carabiner, I'll give you that much) but mine was thicker, had the text on both sides, was threaded so it never wears off (unlike these ones which are printed), mine also had a break away so when you drive, doesn't get in the way (yeah, I'm a thinker).

^^^^^^^ Exactly, so thats why i wondered why the lanyard with shipping would be so much more. do you know how to ship things? or did they just bullshit you at the post office?

It costed me 64c to ship in the US. and almosy 2$ to ship to canada. i dont understand why your questioning me? the lanyards costed me 9$ a piece because i went through a local company instead of an internet company. Then to buy the envelopes, the bags and the tissue papaer to package it all correctly for the us members. For the canadain memebers i had to go out and spend 2$ on the bubble envelope.

im confused as to why i am getting drilled??

It's a forum so people critique... just saying things can be done cheaper, faster & better quality at better rates... $9 is quite excessive for printed, not even threaded... it will wear within a year or two years with regular use. For the same ones, printed w/caribiner and how thin it is, I can have those made for about $1.50/pc.

As for enveloppes, no need for tissue paper, I just bought bubble envelopes, the small ones, for $0.18/pc.

$3.50 lanyard (better quality) + $0.18 bubble envelope + $1.98 postage (From Canada-US)... just giving you a heads up, can be done cheaper, better quality, last forever and you can sell to users cheaper... of course, even selling for $10-15 will still net you nearly double to triple profits. If you want advice, do let me know and I will be happy to step you thru it or whoever is hosting this next. Just throwing that out there. I had my lanyards made and shipped & received in under 2 weeks.

As for bubble envelope, don't buy them from USPS they charge a fortune, go to office supplies section in Staples or Office Depot, etc... I got mine from London Drugs, $0.18/pc... from Canada Post the same ones were $1.50... just takes a little bit of added effort but its worth it in the end.

Mine doesn't bother me either. I usually just take the lanyard and lay it over the stick.

Hey ahole. Oh I mean robhole. I didn't see you stepping up to the plate to get these done did I? STFU and get off my ass. I did it my way and I still sold out of them. I chose better quality and to support my local economy and chose not to take any profit from it.
Idk how many times I have to repeat myself.
I did this because nobody else stepped up to the plate. Not even you.
