I posted this earlier today, but realized it was not a reasonable time for US folks.

I'd order 5 or 10 if I could, but I'm in EU.
For once, I'm sad to be in the EU.

[gargron@mastodon.social]

@ChampersBE @kiraso @nep There are the small ones!

[champersbe@mastodon-belgium.be]

@Gargron @kiraso @nep
Got those already, really eager to get the big one!

[champersbe@mastodon-belgium.be]

@kiraso
If I pay you to re-ship (at least) one to the EU side of the pond, would you be interested in making that happen?

@danvolchek @Gargron
You mean like a #maxtodon ?
Hit me up I'd say!

@Gargron

"we will likely never make one of this size again"

Plooshy is very disappointed. Very.

[jessienab@wetdry.world]

@Charlotte i used https://shippsy.com/ to reship mine into Canada, may be worth checking.

@Gargron @nep @ChampersBE Sure, why not. I'm not taking any extra money for this, but it will be a costly plushie given all the shipping costs

[nep@mstdn.ca]

@kiraso @Gargron @ChampersBE Ah I figured it out… Canada is excluded. I’ll order one to a U.S. address, all good. Thanks!

[mercutio@troet.cafe]

@Gargron
When the U.S. people are not interested in the big plushies, why not offer them in Europe?
Estimatedly, shipping and tariffs/taxes should not exceed $10 (remember, proboscidea suffer from flight anxiety).

I'm from Germany and highly interested in buying one, and I reckon I'm not alone.

Feeding Bezos is no alternative.

[gargron@mastodon.social]

@Mercutio Shipping one of these from the US to Germany costs $45. Where did you get the $10 number? If it was logistically viable I would offer it.

[mercutio@troet.cafe]

@Gargron
https://www.myus.com/where-we-ship/germany/
says from $16.80 up

@Routhinator @Charlotte @Gargron Is Canada's closest EU territory Greenland? I see a business opportunity here. Cold cash

[champersbe@mastodon-belgium.be]

@kiraso
Do you have a guesstimate for shipping cost to Belgium?
I don't need the plushy overnight, as long as it gets here I'll be extremely happy

[Guest]

@ChampersBE It's going to be based on the package size and weight. I did a round of calculation on USPS site and its showing me $89 shipping price. I was leaning on larger size estimates, so it's like a max number. If the plushie comes vacuum packaged, it's going to be cheaper to send for sure. I'm getting mine in 2 days, will be able to get exact measurements and estimates then

[garretsidzaka@mastodon.social]

@Gargron
Ordered it. Very reasonable shipping, thank you

[champersbe@mastodon-belgium.be]

@kiraso
Oh, $89 - that's like €20 🤪
My little ones came slightly compressed and weigh like feathers, so here's hoping that big plushy won't be sold out by the time I'm ready to order.
Weight won't be biggest problem, size of box will.
1 small plushy is 20cm / 8 inch and 175g / 0.4lbs / 6.2oz.
The big one is 35cm / 14inch.
First-Class Package Int'l says max length, height & depth combined 36 inches so with some luck and compression (gzipped plushy?) that might work.
17-32oz would then be ~$40.

[Guest]

@ChampersBE So I got the package. With some gzipping it fits into a 15x11x6 box I have around, and weighs 2.1lb. First Class Intl package gives me $58.30 for shipping. Plus $44.88 that I pay for it delivered to me.

@Gargron what do you mean you will never make this size again? The size is AMAZING! It's the best size for hugging tightly when you're stressed out! I should know, we have one in the office!
