Daniel Arsham ๐บ๐ธ New York โข Eroded Future Relic, by ajc on Dec 10, 2016 13:18:25 GMT 1, Feel like a knob for not adding this info sooner, but something i've done in the past with the Relics (and toy releases) where postage to the UK is obscene is use these guys (ShipitTo) www.shipito.com/en/.
I've so far had 2 relics handled by them and it's always worked out well. To the UK I paid $50 for the Clock and Tape releases shipped tracked with DHL. You can ask them to open up the package and take pictures also.
Anyway - hope that might be useful for some of you UK (and for that matter non-us) chaps.

My page stuck loading for like 10 minutes hence my "bot statement". -anyway i missed out. If anyone has an extra they want to let go at cost, let me know.

I'm pretty sure that the previous relic had custom costs included within the shipping costs - this time all i'm seeing is 'International items may be subject to customs processing and additional charges'
The method of shipping is 'UPS Worldwide Express Plus' - maybe this could be downgraded to make it a bit cheaper!

I have asked eBay to look into it' perhaps they may be reduced ?! that comment leads me to think that the international shipping option was set to use ebay's international shipping which is hella expensive. items are shipped to eBay who then ships them internationally. if he just shipped internationally through UPS, or fedex, on his own then the shipping would not have been that much. the problem is that, for those who don't sell on eBay often, eBay doesn't make it easy to sell internationally without using their shipping option. every time i've listed something i have had to manually turn off that option despite having it set to not use it in my settings. he probably had, or has, no idea... if he did then he wouldn't have made it seem that eBay is controlling the shipping costs.

This is his 6th relic and he deliberately picked Ebay to sell them on. If he still doesnt know how Ebay works and just hides behind 'hey man I didn't know' he's a whole lot dumber (or more of an asshole) than I made him out to be. |

Surely they should spend some of their profits buying a proper custom web shop that is designed and can cope with their needs.
Doesn't make sense to me.

Across all the free gallery pages I had, it was 1 million hits per day. And this was serving photos and videos, so was pretty bandwidth intensive. This was all done as an amateur from home. I couldn't afford for pages to be slow loading, everything had to be lightning fast.

Unfortunately building and maintaining a system that can handle sudden surges in concurrent users, as happens with more popular drops, isn't easy or cheap. Inadequate infrastructure will just fall over, as seen with the d-face drop the other day. Given the option of rolling their own (and all that comes with it) or using a relatively stable third party system for a nominal fee, it's a no brainer for most people.
