Just a quick Goods update, on this announcement-filled Tuesday:

1. We’ve dramatically lowered international shipping costs.

For example, what used to cost $27 to ship now costs closer to $9. We hope this change — from USPS Priority to First Class International — will help our foreign friends. Of course, there’s a catch: longer transit time and no tracking. But you’ve told us in the past that cost is most critical. Please let us know how it goes!

2. Embroidered Coda t-shirts.

These were a bit of an experiment: our first embroidered shirts. It was a challenge — embroidery, screen-printing, and precision do not mix well — but we enjoyed the ride. They’re printed on special edition organic cotton American Apparel shirts… with matching green stitching! If you’re a Coda user, you can wear this shirt with nerd-but-still-cool pride. We’ll keep an eye out for you.

3. A limited run of Spinner Hoodies.

This is a little embarrassing, but we’ve had a limited run of Spinner Hoodies sitting in the warehouse for multiple years (what was the hold-up? I think it was because it required a special Hoodie icon to be made). They feature the famous Mac OS X “Spinner” design on a warm and comfortable gray American Apparel hoodie. They’re finally ready for sale, and there aren’t too many of them.

We hope you enjoy these new things.
