Except American backers are being charged similar amounts to backers in other parts of the world. In some cases $30+ to ship a single $15 t-shirt. Or two backers in the same city with the same pledge level and no extras being charged massively different shipping. Hell, one example I saw was someone literally miles from the US distribution centre being charged far, far more for their shipping than a the same pledge on the other side of the country.

You are right though, sub-contracting is partly done to fill a need for specialist knowledge not available in house. That does not mean though that someone on CGL’s end should not have been paying attention to these costs and challenging their shipping agents.

But I guess we will see what they say in the days to come.
