[Oaktavia]

@Shane-B thank you Shane!!! That is really rad of you and you didn't need to do that. But a stand up gentlemen you are, so double thanks to IH Germany for making this extremely special bandanner.

[Oaktavia]

@Twistlock thank you!!!

[Shane B]

@Oaktavia Thanks to you Steven!

I'm really looking forward to all your bandana photos, like the one from @Spinatbrot

@Shane-B whoa!! I’m blown away by how cool this design is.

[Shane B]

@Mizmazzle Thank you very much, that's nice to hear!

Anyone else get their UPS import fee email for import to the USA? Crazy how much UPS is throwing on top of this making it a $27 total to import. Also im seeing if you don't pay early, you may get hit with an additional ~12$ collection fee.

Mods, feel free to delete the above. I'm not intending this to be an issue for IHG at all, just a heads up for anyone in the USA considering ordering this on what to expect.

@pechelman I was blessed with mine and ready for it.

It’s why IH-Germany waived the shipping fee and stated that all the buyer had to do was to cover duties.

Many countries deal with punitive duties on a daily basis, and if I’m not mistaken, Germany is one of the worst for duties owed when their residents buy something from abroad. Canada is also pretty bad in the hierarchy of fees owed on incoming goods. Not only are the duties high, but the carriers added processing fees as well.

The US was protected for many years having a $800 USD de minimus. Now you’re experiencing what the rest of us have to deal with.

…on the flip side of this argument is that many of us do not have to pay for healthcare, tuition is subsidized or very low, and the standard of living is moderately better in some of those countries.

[pechelman]

yea, absolutely. I'm not intending to this being a complaint against IHG, moreso intending that post to be an fyi with the actual values. The UPS fee is the one that surprised me the most being almost 2X the US calculated duty. It will be nice when the shipping is refunded as well.

Paid the UPS fee today. About $2 less than the original cost of shipping. I would have ate the cost either way because the bandana design is so good. Big thanks to IH Germany for looking out for us.

I LOVE this combo!! Is this a selvedge bandana? One side is not folded and sewn, is that the indicator? I think Filthy was telling me that is how they come sometimes. You can see this edge in the third to last photo.

@Oaktavia beautiful! I’ll have mine today

And I think that is the selvedge side for sure

[Oaktavia]

@SKT oh, yes it says right on the first post indigo selvedge fabric.

[Mizmazzle]

Sitting at my front table now waiting on the Brown Truck!

[SKT]

It’s a race!

[Mizmazzle]

Siiiiick!!!

[ARNC]

These do look good. No idea how I’ll use it but I should have one waiting for me when I get home from work tomorrow!

I hadn’t thought about the sticker until I saw @Mizmazzle’s pic but it’ll be cool to have another one (the one I picked up at the IHG party went into the bag of bits that travels with the MRMF to commemorate one of the highlights of my leg).
