Today we are launching our merch store!

It features a bunch of different items from Hoodies and T-Shirts to Coffee Mugs.
Currently we only have 1 design, logo+profilepic (as can be seen in the image above), but we plan to create more designs in the future should the store be well received.
As you can see in the image above, we have also got a sample T-Shirt to check quality. The T-Shirt in the image is the Eco Unisex Tee. We wanted to check print quality as well as the quality of the T-Shirt's material and production. We also wanted to test washing it to see if it would still be ok after that and lastly, we had some friends try it on as a fit test.
It is a good quality T-Shirt, well produced, organic cotton, fair trade, it is even vegan certified. The one we received was produced in Belgium, so under strict EU laws which guarantee manufacturing quality, no exploitation of workers, no weird chemicals used for production and so on.
Should you wish to get something, we do recommend to go for the Eco line. We have dropped the price as low as possible on those items so that we may share the extra cost of going eco.
Regarding the pricing in general, what we did is the following. The platform suggested to us a price with the .99 system. First of all we removed that .99 thing which we never liked (feels like kind of like trying to manipulate people you know). Then on average we removed another couple dollars.
As for euro prices, these were a lot higher than prices in dollars. Another thing we noticed on many other platforms and which we also dislike. So what we did is actually check the exchange rate and set a price in euro that is approximately the same price as in dollars.
This means a ridiculously low margin but, what can I say, we hate having people pay more just because of where they live so, until we find a better solution this is what we are going to run with.
Lastly, for our HD(HotDrive) & Honorary Team Member Patrons, we have created a 10% discount promo code. We can't make it higher because it would not work as it would eat into the actual production cost of the item.
PS should the code not work, it is probably because of precisely this reason. If the discount goes over the margin and into the production cost, the platform will not accept the code.
Thank you everyone for your support, feel free to check out the new merch and let us know what you think.
Cheers ;)
PS there is a small issue with the pricing in euros. Somehow the platform does not want to accept prices without decimals. So for example, if we enter a full number like 20.00 the platform tends to add 00.01 cents for some reason, resulting in the price being 20.01. We have been sending messages to the platform's team for over 3 weeks now asking for assistance in solving this issue but, the problem persists. Anyway, even if we have this issue, we have decided to go ahead anyway and launch the store. Sorry for the inconvenience.
