I hope you'll open a Cafepress store or something similar to offer us S&S merchandise. I'd also love to see the core rulebook there as shipping costs are so much cheaper for me from cafepress than the utterly insane Lulu that I've had to write off until they change shipping handlers. Hiring someone to travel to their printer and pick up the product is cheaper than their shipping.
Cafepress has been really good to me as a consumer.
I hope it's something you will consider. I'd love to have a S&S magnet.

You must be out of the U.S., I'm guessing? Lulu's shipping only seems to be unreasonable for overseas stuff.
Cafepress is an option, but one that's far more difficult for me to use running the business. Plus, I'd have to keep separate tax forms for both Lulu and Cafepress. I'm not saying it's not doable...but I need to think on it and discuss with Tim (his payment comes into play as well).
All that being said, there are some irons in the fire that should make you very happy. I can't say anything specific at this time, as I don't want to get hopes up or make premature announcements, but yeah...stay tuned.

Lulu is on crack. Yeah, they think Canada is overseas for the USA. I can't reason paying over $100 shipping just to be able to track an order when they could just use UPS for a fifth or less of the price. Even their NOT-RECOMMENDED Economy option is a joke. They're either raking in cash for shipping or getting screwed by their shipper. USPS would also be much cheaper, and what's ironic is that USPS often just uses Purolator but for a fraction of the cost of Purolator. So Lulu is a write off for me, but Cafepress is thus far very reasonable. There are other PODs too, but Cafepress gives you the cool ability to make merchandise for no investment. I am of course excited for all your irons in the fire  K |

Is the Lulu distribution package too far out of sight? Purchasing from Amazon (if they put things through amazon.ca) would alleviate the crappy Lulu shipping practices. Of course some think that's why they're screwing people on shipping. Then again, I've run into U.S. companies that don't even realize how cheap UPS can be.

I haven't looked into it. We're not ready for distribution, yet.
