Hi Vojtech,

Thanks for those observations. It's true that overseas shipping costs can be rather expensive. I like your ideas and the creative solutions you are coming up with. Very nice. If anyone wants to take their chances on the Wikipedia store and the overseas shipping, we will support that and also take care of the shipping costs. And then longer term, we can think about better ways to do this. I know there is a physical storage in the US and I don't know if that's something that can be replicated (or is desirable to have, even) for Europe or other continents. 

Thanks for chiming in,

Hi Floor, thanks for the suggestion! We already tried to order some swag in the past months.

Sadly, from my experience, I ordered some t-shirts and half of them were out of stock in the desired sizes and it would be very expensive to get the rest of the order to Europe. We're now working on a much better solution with Kacie Harold from WMF - the Store will upload the T-shirt logos to Commons and anyone can print them :-). Of course that only works for the teams that have some funding (but I guess most Collab people do).

From a long-term perspective, it would be cool to have a logistical center of the Wikipedia Store in one of the chapters in Europe - the overseas shipping is too expensive.

Dear Collab members,

I want to make you aware of the existence of the Wikipedia store. You may know about the store already, but what you may not know, is that you can ask the Education team to sponsor gifts for volunteers. The Wikimedia Foundation can pay for those gifts (as long as the request is reasonable, of course). 

You can ask for gifts to thank and motivate cherished volunteers who work hard to make the education program a success. You can also give out small prizes to students in your education program to encourage them and give the program a competitive element. 

If you are interested in getting some swag from the store, please email education@wikimedia.org with the specific request that you have and we will work with you to get the swag to you! 

Thanks!
