Hi
I had a look in to a newly open EVE store wanting to get a good Minmatar t-shirt or hoodie or something yet when I opened it I was extremply disapointed. So much that I would have rather seen it closed again.

Since you CCP have an acces to ALL the models in game in the best quality that there is why dont you buy a 3d printer or hire a company with a 3d printer to print ship hulls ALL the hulls in 5 diferent sizes small medium large extra large and you could also do scaled small medium large XL models for those crazy ppl who want to have ships in actual sizes next to each other.

As for shirts and clothes again no ship motives. No in game corporation motives. All of it seems really bland and really overpriced for how it looks

These were the kind of items I was expecting in the store.

This new eve store is run by actual criminals, just from the shipping prices. (No, twice the price of the t-shirt is not a fair price for shipping, it is, in fact, four times more than other US based sites charge for shipping.)

Don't expect them to do anything but fleece people.

CCP...you may want to have your crew you gave this to recognize military addresses.

I wanted to see how bad shipping was (not that I doubt Danika but I check before rants lol) and can't even process shipping.


Your site's states list does not have the FPO AP, AE, ect. Common trick since in the asia realm for people like me use is FPO AP as a city, Cali. as a state. Usually slides though. Their address verification does not like this.

And if Danika is right and shipping is that bad....there is a 3rd method people like me use. 3rd party ship it FPO/APO services. Here is the catch....we pay more for this as we pay them to reship. If your shipping prices are as bad as I hear, you may not get some sales from the people on US bases. High shipping cost, plus extra reship fee....not wise things to pay the tl;dr.

Now how many US military players you have I don't know. Even if just a few...its should not be hard to ease back on the address verification. In theory if like most db's I have seen that little table of states in sql database just needs a couple more lines.

The shipping label you write up....is exactly the same as if you sent it 123 Four drive, NY, NY, 12345. FPO is just like a city. AP is jsut like any other state.


Its cool in some way you check address verification....but I will tell you what I tell other vendors. YOu are shooting yourselves in the foot when it comes to military addresses. Please add US military PO's to the list....or not. Its your sales to have or not have basically.

3D printing is nice, but not the best quality. My suggestion is to team up with Revell (for example) and make scale models that people can assemble.
I would love to spend time on building a 1:2000 scale Stratios.

If you want an intelligent argument, please do, I'm up for it!

But if you want a trolling contest, I will win it by simply not participating.

Never realized that the shiping was THAT bad. To be fair there wasnt anything worth while on the store for me to try ship anything since even the archon keychain seemed tad bit overpriced even without shipping
