Hey guys, gonna leave this up to you guys as Patrons. If you're inside the discord server you've seen the discussion around international (Canada and everywhere else) Vs Domestic (American) shipping costs

I really don't care either way but I'll leave it up to you. The question is:
Should I make some international specific tiers? or no? YOU DECIDE!

*quick update* created the tiers just to show how it would look. These are not set in stone (thus the limited amount)

As I said in discord, Canada post sucks. - Xeldan

I've never posted such a thing before but...I think I'm getting too good a deal when I look at shipping costs. I can live with a price increase, or perhaps an enhanced digital offer for Canadian and other foreign buyers. While I like the hard copy, I mainly want to support and enjoy the story, and I could do that digitally.

It depends on the country. Don't fuck yourself. I sell a lot on eBay and it gets expensive.

The main thing is that you don't lose money on the deal. The problem is that with exchange rates and increased postage it might not be feasible for some international patrons to support the physical reward; I'd probably have to drop down a tier and may actually have to stop and just have to rely on the AP releases. Whilst I realise that US patreon are subsidising the international ones I'm guessing there are more of them so the pain is shared over more of the group.

I agree, which is why I'm still willing to eat the shipping cost on international and I'm leaving it up to the group as a whole to decide.

Simon Beard

It would be interesting to see what the geographical split on the vote is as this proposal won't affect US Patreon unless your proposing to reduce the domestic tier value?

Simon Beard

Could you confirm what the physical rewards are for muffin? Is is just the Variant cover or is it the Normie as well? And the comics are on a release cycle of one every 2 months?

New Age Ninja Corps

Ah sorry there was a weird double post. So Muffin Bear should be 1 Normal Cover and 1 Variant. Batch Cycles are every 2 months for now, should be faster moving forward. May increase the number of variants so that its competitive and valued just under Operator. Still tweaking the rewards in order to find a happy medium.

Being in New Zealand, we get fucked by postage, I'd rather you focus your money in to other things than paying for us to get stuff

You might want to add a little something extra (non-physical) to the international tier rewards to make the increased price more appealing.
