USD$106.05 T-shirt
So, yesterday I was looking for some apparel that would display the Blogger logo, because I think it looks cool, and you don't see anyone wearing it around here... I checked out the Google Store and came across this cool Blogger T-shirt. I sent in my order for the $9.00 T-shirt, and received this message in response:
YIKES!
I cancelled my order.
According to Jeremy, a Customer Satisfaction Representative from the Google Store, they don't have a lot of International Customers.
I guess not.

YIKES!
I cancelled my order.
According to Jeremy, a Customer Satisfaction Representative from the Google Store, they don't have a lot of International Customers.
"Honestly, there are not many customers that accept the shipping charges."
I guess not.
