I got a hoodie so I figured it was worth it this once. I won't be placing a second order, though.

Same here. It's like they're not even trying. I bought merch last year bc I wanted to support. But there's nothing that interests me at all this year.

I needed a backpack for work so I made it an excuse to make an order, but the shipping was insane! 

Other than that I didn't care for anything and the hoodie looked like it didn't have a zipper.  I won't buy it if there is no zipper.

How does a hoodie not have a zipper? At that point it's a sweatshirt...silly :P</rant>

Picture on the site was really bad, but based on the description, the hoodie does have a zipper.

I want to order a bookbag so bad, but I want to be able to see itbefore i buy. My job gave me a bookbag my first year promoted up and the logo peeled off withing 3 weeks. :(

Other than that, the merch does not look good. Maybe this is the effect of not having a physical con and sponsors... no money to kick in for good merch...
Even the Pins are basic.

So silly me, I figured that CCI was charging so much for shipping so they could get the merchandise delivered prior to the start of Comic-Con@Home.
Well, out of the 8 items that I bought with over $39 in shipping charges, only four of the items have now been shipped; two being sent First Class Pkg Service, and two through UPS Mail Innovations.
Nothing is scheduled to arrive until after Comic-Con@Home.
For the life of me, I can't figure out how they can justify these exorbitant shipping charges. >:(

The shipping is totally out of control! I'm so sorry to hear everyone is paying a bazillion bucks.
You should all voice your concerns/frustrations to CCI.

The shipping seems out of control across the board; people are complaining about it on Reddit too. It's like they didn't bother to negotiate a shipping discount/plan at all. I've seen completely independent one-man print-on-demand shops with better shipping.
