EDIT:
Ok screw international shipping its the biggest pain in the ass ever. I tried to make it work and its clearly going to take more time then I care to put into it. Back to flate 5$ domestic shipping.
I was pretty impressed to see how many shirts have been sold! I will keep the white shirts at 75% off until tomorrow. (only 1.25 apiece)
Why do you want a white shoemoney shirt? Heh, ask anyone who ever has worn one to a conference! Also we will be having contests and giving out prizes at future conferences for those who are spotted in a SM shirt
AND If you take a picture of yourself in the shirt and send it you will be posted in the friends and fans gallery along with a link to your site.
Here are the stats from the first 16 hours online for the Shirt Store.
78 Mens White Original Shoemoney Shirts
24 Womens White Shoemoney BabyDoll-Ts
22 AuctionAds Shirts
over 125 shirts sold in the first 16 hours zomg! Susan just headed to the post office and all that ordered up until noon today will be shipped today.

I feel better now knowing that I am not the only one who has had frustrations with shopping cart software.

Ha Shoemoney crocks would be funny, but perhaps not as visible. The popularity is amazing – there was even a company that sold decorations for Crocks that sold for multi-millions.

So in this case I could be one of your largest mobile billboards

I would like to buy one but do you post Europe and do you have XXL? I am 207cm tall 6′10 so I realy need long T-shirt.
June 10, 2007 at 1:38 am

June 6, 2007 at 10:50 pm
I ordered a few black ones -
June 6, 2007 at 8:22 pm
that has to be coming, right?

I understand why you had to take down international shipping, it’s just sad that I didn’t get here in time. Being from Canada I might have had a chance to get shipping for about $8.
I think it’s been a year since I “forgot” to visit the blog everyday.
Anyway, nice t-shirts, Shoe. Best of luck to sell more
June 5, 2007 at 6:31 pm
I wasn’t trying to bitch, just getting a general idea. I understand issues with this kind of stuff.

all you need is the showmoney visa card

I guess I’ll tell. It was actually Powerball tickets. See only 30 states can sell Powerball so I catered to the other 20. GC doesn’t allow lottery tickets. Paypal neither, so I would need to create my own merchant account basically or use a much pricier service. It is legal though there are a number of caveats to look out for if you do this. After a few orders I was banned. Wish I could have tested for a month instead of 3 days.
June 5, 2007 at 7:51 am
I too had to shut down international shipping on my previous venture before it was sold (e-commerce site) due to wacky shipping rates. The worst part was, after international users were quoted their new rate – most ended up taking their business elsewhere. This really ate up my time!
June 5, 2007 at 6:46 am
Just ordered two, can’t wait to get them.
June 5, 2007 at 6:11 am
orly? what were u selling?
June 5, 2007 at 4:30 am
Since you don’t offer international shipping anymore, did you think about using a service like http://www.spreadshirt.net/?lang=en&locale=GB ?
June 5, 2007 at 2:21 am
In a way, this is a humorous post. But it also points out the problems that many small biz’s face in today’s market place. Shipping is a beaatch!
Fortunately for me, it looks like Shoe has not decided to cater to the Big Folk market

I was selling something on their list of stuff you can’t sell using checkout. There’s a list somewhere on the site and I didn’t read it first.
June 4, 2007 at 9:55 pm
I just purchased 3 and it was $5.00 flat. Thanks Shoe!
June 4, 2007 at 9:52 pm
I just purchased 3 and it was a flat $5. Thanks Shoe!
June 4, 2007 at 8:33 pm
So, if i buy 2 or 3 shirts at the same time do i pay $5 shipping for each one?
June 4, 2007 at 7:50 pm
Shoe – Could you hold the sale on the white shirts until the international shipping is up? I live in Canada, and would love to pick up some of the white ones for $1.25 each!
June 4, 2007 at 7:38 pm
people will always find stuff to complain about. Even when they can get a cool shirt for only 1.25!
June 4, 2007 at 4:53 pm
@Brent–you’re banned? How can you be banned?
June 4, 2007 at 4:52 pm
Hey, that’s a lot of shirts sold! Awesome! I’ve noticed that your shirts only go up to XL–some of us “like them big”, especially if I’m going to buy one for my wife–she likes to hang out in big (really big) tshirts!
Any chance on getting a 3x or 4x or heck, even a 2x shirt?
June 4, 2007 at 4:34 pm
That is pretty sweet, I’ll have to check it out..
June 4, 2007 at 4:33 pm
I think he said he’s doing only US shipping now..
June 4, 2007 at 3:50 pm
Yep, GC is awesome they have it so you can send invoices too. Works great for ppl who want to pay you with CC and now no fees!!!
June 4, 2007 at 3:50 pm
Ordered my 5 large, 5 med and 3 small babydolls
June 4, 2007 at 3:37 pm
Oh, forgot to mention the important part. I was gonna say that I am pretty sure they support international, but since I am banned, I can’t check to make sure.
June 4, 2007 at 3:34 pm
Dude, just use Google Checkout. You can create a button that will send ‘em to the checkout without having to really write any code. I used it on a site I had, before I got banned from checkout.
Also, no fees through the end of the year with them.
June 4, 2007 at 3:04 pm
Shoe has to LOSE at least 5$ per shirt selling them for 1.25$
I am sure he is crushed
June 4, 2007 at 3:03 pm
Damn – I read the international shipping option, rushed to buy one, but Shoemoney had already dropped it. That’s $1.25 he’ll have to live without
June 4, 2007 at 3:01 pm
Just wanted to at least register and check how much shipping to Germany was but in the register form I can only select “United States” as country… Am I the only one having that problem? Seems as if every other European is fine…
June 4, 2007 at 2:47 pm
Hrm. I am just sharing some experience that we had with oscommerce. We found that there are better solutions out there because oscommerce has had some bugs and security problems. That’s all.
June 4, 2007 at 2:42 pm
Wow, glad I got mine for $5 shipping last night, it is $13.87 today for shipping for 1 T.
June 4, 2007 at 2:38 pm
Okay Jeremy, but you have to have a look at this. I’m from Bulgaria. Never mind that the cheapest shipping avaieble is Express Mail International (EMS) Flat Rate Envelope $26.00, I’ve decided to order. But when it comes to the final step is says – United States Postal Dervice (1 x 5lbs) (Global Express Guaranteed): $153.00
Wow! It just doesn’t works. I’ve selected it like 4 or 5 times and every time the total is 153.00 for a 1.25 shirt. Please, have a look at that. Btw I’m running Debian with Firefox, but on my iBook it’s the same
June 4, 2007 at 2:29 pm
$26 postage to the UK for a $1.25 shirt,
I really wanted one but that is crazy!
P.S. I know it is not your charge, but surely there are cheaper shippers?
June 4, 2007 at 2:28 pm
Your currency module is fucked up, since when is dollar worth more then EUR ? =)
June 4, 2007 at 2:19 pm
What an awesome idea. walking billboards… How about this –> Shoemoney Moneyshoes? It could be to Search Engine Marketers like Crocks are to boaters and just about everyone else. Speaking of Crocks, it never ceases to amaze me how popular these ugly little shoes are. The evolution of the old lady gardening shoe… Unbelievable!
June 4, 2007 at 2:17 pm
Doesn’t the USPS have that $3 flat-rate envelope? I’m sure you can shove a t-shirt into one of those big envelopes, and charge $3 / shirt for S/H.
June 4, 2007 at 2:16 pm
dude why are you so annoying srsly
June 4, 2007 at 2:14 pm
see it was fine and I did have a flat rate then everyone bitched that I didnt have international shipping so now its integrated with usps to pull real time shipping rates based on zipcodes with all available options…
and people still bitch
Good thing I am not in the shirt business
June 4, 2007 at 2:04 pm
How much is regular shipping to U.S.? I dont see it anywhere and I dont feel like wasting my time creating an account just to add 1 to my cart and get turned away by high shipping. I sell clothes online, and something like this should be pretty simple for pricing domestic shipping.
June 4, 2007 at 1:59 pm
I’d have liked to have more options for shipping too… 9 bucks and up is a bit pricey for a 1.25 shirt.
Don’t get me wrong, I paid it, I just didn’t like to lol.
June 4, 2007 at 1:42 pm
Shoe, you gotta use a better cart than the oscommerce though! Why not code something yourself?
June 4, 2007 at 1:39 pm
125 shirts! Wow, you are going to have mobile billboards all over the country now!
