Oh PT... I'm sorry you feel this way. I feel compelled to explain!
First of all, the price of the onesie is not 20 euro. It is 15 euro, and you pay for packaging and postage on top. 18.50 in total.
Secondly, we try and calculate merchandise prices as fairly as possible. When deciding a retail price for a garment or merchandise item, we need to factor in various costs. I'm talking garment prices, design costs, printing costs, packaging costs and postage. You add up all these costs, divide them by the amount of garments. Hey presto, expense per unit. We do add a slim margin for handling. I have bills to pay too.
For your information, we use a high quality garment manufacturer, with excellent ethical and environmental credentials. But this comes at a price which is higher than the Primarks and Tescos of this world charge. Further explanation here:
Finally, when you buy a Bell X1 merchandise item, you buy an exclusively designed item with limited availability. And you support a band you love. I hope.
Anyway. You might still not agree with me, but there you have it. An explanation of sorts.
i'm loving the merch, me
