There is no way the shipping partner they use costs them $100USD to ship to Canada. They use the slowest form of USPS/Canada Post. Usually it takes 20 days or so to arrive here in BC, Canada from Florida. Someone is making money here…

Apparently it’s DHL now.

Which in Canada is Loomis.

And since I do shipping receiving through Loomis/DHL at work I can guarantee you that it is NOT $100 for a damn phone case to Canada.

So Bullstrap can take a long walk off a short pier.

If I wanted to be snarky I’d buy the case, send them my company Loomis/DHL account number for the shipping and tell them they need to renegotiate their corporate rates with their account rep.

Ha! Are you me? I did the same albeit with another vendor that delivers restaurant food products via FedEx. For a small 12x12x18 they asked for $18 for “shipping” costs. I argued with them and showed them our companies negotiated rates for a the same package size, distance and weight and told them to use this account instead.
There is definitely some profit being made here, shipping materials when brought in bulk do not cost more than a dollar per item.

Seriously. It’s a tiny case. Put it in a bubble envelope and call it a day. USPS to Canada is minimal.

Yeah the new Bullstrap shipping is bogus for sure. I just checked with Andar to see what their shipping rate to Canada from USA would be and it was $13. So how is Bullstrap $87 more to ship from USA to Canada? I'm fortunate I was able to get a great deal on my Bullstrap on Amazon but when the time comes to replace I guess its Andar or Ryan London.

How are the buttons on the Cretan bull?

They’re just meh. It’s the one gripe I have about the case. They’re perfectly clicky, so that’s good, but they sit cockeyed so the light catches them differently and looks wonky.

You still using the RL in the rotation?

It’s black on a Space Black phone so it gets the Monolith treatment every now and then but it usually doesn’t last long.

just got my 14PM Midnight leather case from ebay, and its got a surprising amount of grain!

more than most (maybe all?) 12 pro leather cases I had, and more than the slippery Umbar I returned around launch for a red silicone

How is the red silicone holding up?
