  • "We received a response from Brandfuel our CoolStuff Store vendor,
  • basically their response to the international shipping costs was
  • 'we know it's high, we feel your pain, but there's nothing we can do'
  • so this makes Jack's event kit initiative even more important"
  • Project Reports
