Ouch!!! Talk about ripping you off on shipping...a #10 envelope and stamp are only like 40 cents.

Too bad the shipping is expensive, and only one free.

They have pretty awesome badges there.

These things are metal so I don't know if a $0.34 stamp would cover it.. Not a bad deal imo...

These things look pretty cool, I got in for mine. Just one note about the cost of shipping, if you read around on their page, you'll see that they're in austrailia, so $3.95 isnt so bad at all imo.

Okay, I just placed my order before seeing how good of a site this is. Now it is time for someone to let me know my credit card has been stolen or something ;)

Just "bought" mine yesterday. Got the BSD badge with the antique silver finish. Was debating whether to get the one with the penguin on, but then thought that letters would be cooler to look at since BSD somewhat has alternate meaning to me. LOL.

Note: they say if you give them 5 bux straight, they'll throw in a tux pin instead of giving you change - just make a note of the style - they're listed somewhere.

A little extra thing :D

I perhaps went a little overboard on the message but I was trying to make the point that this is really not a "hot deal", it belongs in a linux discussion thread. It falls in line with a pseudo scam, where although you are receiving a product there is a bit of deception in the marketing that fools some people (although I'm sure they would also gladly buy these pins for $4 at their local B&M (little sarcasm))

I just hate it when a company/person can't just come out and say, "OK everyone, I'm selling these rad case pins for X dollars."

Why do they have to deceive people that may not have otherwise bought their product. I guess that is the good ol' USA consumer society for you. Everything has an angle.

Ahaha I just got my 3rd....yes count it 3rd...confirmation email today. It;s been shipped via some Aussie Parcel mail system. In any case, it's well on its way now so there are no worries. This is no scam and I'll post here again when I get it in. should take a couple days hopefully. Here's the email that I got:

This is just a quick note to inform you that we've just posted your
parcel. AustraliaPOST advertises that you should receive it within 4-6
working days. However, some of our customers have reported that their
national customs office can be very slow to process some parcels -
in a few cases adding 3-4 weeks to the delivery time. In some countries,
you may be able to enquire about any parcels waiting for your address
at your national customs office.

I would appreciate if you could help us keep our future customers
informed by emailing me when your parcel arrives. In any case,
if you don't receive your parcel within 4 weeks, please contact us
so we can take the matter up with AustraliaPOST.

The receipt for your purchase has been attached. A printed copy
of the receipt has also been included in the parcel.
