International WBC Merchandise

(Please forgive me if this is posted in the wrong area)

Does anyone know of any online shops where non-US fans of both the World Baseball Classic and the MLB can purchase official merchandise without paying the huge shipping & handling prices that mlb.com charges?

I live in Sydney and looked into buying an official Aussie Majestic T-Shirt for the WBC on mlb.com. The shirt was US$19.99 and the S&H was US$43.00...

Same goes for all the MLB clothing... Could it really cost this much to ship a shirt?!?!?

Even David Blaine couldn't get MLB merchandise in Australia!

Anyone else having the same frustration around the world?

You could almost fly over there and collect it yourself for that price. The MLB must be hiring a special jet :laugh :laugh Realistically though, to ship a t-shirt thru normal air mail post from USA to Australia would not cost more than about US$9. .

The authentic jerseys have been released now.

Most of them are not very exciting. IMO these two are the best.

But the prices... A real bargain $ 164.00. :crazy :crazy

I'm not usually a homer, but I like this one and the one thing i really like about Canadian uniforms in international competition is that they are usually consistent from year to year.

Who's going to argue that Canada doesn't have the best hockey jerseys, eh?

I liked the Canadian hockey jersey of the end of the seventies. That one was awesome.

That's not exactly what I mean. I've been looking on the net.

The jerseys were white with a red maple leaf (yeah what else? :D ). But the leaf had an orange outlining.

It's raining here. Unreal. All the car alarms on the street are going off. :eek:
