Department of Genuine Satire Merch (Patreon)

Dear Patrons,I hope you enjoyed our Honest Government Ad season finale. It's been getting a huge response, we've passed half a million views on facebook in less than 24 hours!Anyway, the reason I'm writing again so soon is that I have a quick house-keeping announcement.About a year ago we introduced the Department of Genuine Satire T-shirt as a reward for our $50+ Patrons. I also made it available for sale exclusively to our Patrons via a store I set up on Teespring - a EU-based merch company. Which meant that the only way you could get one of these t-shirts was to support us on Patreon.This system worked well: I liked that Patrons had exclusive access to our merch. But then Teespring stopped shipping to Australia due to custom changes in the EU which meant it could only ship our merch from the US - which almost doubled the shipping costs.Either way, shipping t-shirts all the way from across the world is simply not environmentally sustainable. So I took this as a sign that it was time for me to get off my butt and find a better, local, alternative.And today I'm excited to announce that we finally have a new, local Aussie merch store!https://www.see-shirts.com/pages/thejuicemediaThe store (See-Shirts) is operated by a NSW-based fan of the Juice Media by the name of Matt. So as well as it being produced locally, we'll also be benefiting an Aussie family business rather than a massive merch company.What's more, these t-shirts are 100% organic and free trade and the delivery only takes around 1 week (as opposed to 4-5 weeks via Teespring). And despite all that, the prices are actually slightly lower. So I'm really stoked with this find.The catch - if you can call it that - is that in order to make this work for Matt I cannot limit the sales only to Patrons. So I've decided to make the store available to the general public.But I still want all of our Patrons to have the option to get a better deal than the general public. Which is why I am giving y'all a 20% Discount Code for our new store: JUICY2019So if you'd like to grab some merch, go to our new store: https://www.see-shirts.com/pages/thejuicemedia - and type JUICY2019 in the Discount Code at the checkout page to receive 20% off the cost of any product. It means you can grab t-shirts for just AUD 28!  Note: I don't mind if you share the code with your family and close friends, but it would be appreciated if you wouldn't share it more widely than that - as this is really just a reward for our Patrons who support us. This Discount Code will be valid until the end of June. After which we'll set up a new one.Every sale helps generate income to support our work. And on top of that they actually look really badass.EDIT: our Teespring store will still remain open! So if you are in the US or the EU you might want to keep using this store for merch: https://teespring.com/stores/thejuicemediaIf you're one of our $50+ Patrons, none of this changes anything for you: you'll still receive your reward - except it will arrive a lot quicker and leave a much smaller CO2 footprint than before.Ok that's all! Thanks for all your support and I'll catch you again soon.GiordanoPS: Here are the links to our latest HGA in case you missed it:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJrXI3rBbSAFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thejuicemedia/videos/600231673792280/?hc_location=ufi
