Clark - can you please address
these within reason please? The key question
here is whether we can ship the iJUG swag to
Eclipse Foundation Germany without iJUG paying
more money.
Jan - frankly international
shipping in any significant quantity is simply a
hassle I hope we can avoid the best we are able
or at least limit it to what is absolutely
necessary. I don’t know that there is a way
around paying taxes, duties, etc if you
absolutely want things shipped to you. I am sure
the Foundation will do what it can, but as a
non-profit it cannot do anything improper. I
suggest simply having Payara distribute this
swag at DevNexus. If you want a few hoodies for
yourself, I or Ed can save it aside and give it
to you in person. That in my opinion is the most
reasonable path here, pretty much for you too.
Hi Reza,
first, thank you for supporting this!
Unfortunately I need some additional information and
could not get
answers on the last MP Marketing Meeting:
From where the shipping will be done?
What is the worth of the shipment?
Which logistic companies are involved?
When is planed to ship?
Would be able to receive the shipment free of any
charge (to Germany:
additional transport fees, 19 % tax, unknown customs
percentage)?
As all the involved parties "optimize" the (in fact:
their part only of
the) process, we are not sure we are able to receive
a swag delivery in
a reliable way.
The 2021 Swag delivery failed glorious and a lot of
resources are wasted
already!
To ensure the delivery of the 2022 swag can be
received, I want to pick
it up in person at the Eclipse Foundation Europe
office or storage in
Darmstadt, Germany (
https://www.eclipse.org/org/foundation/contact.php,
Silvia will be the contact person).
The other parts of the EF should be able select the
best option to send
there - I only figured out that the 2022 MP Swag is
not located there
already.
As I expect the swag shipment from somewhere
(outside the EU) will not
be free of charge, delivery to the JavaLand
(starting 21st of March)
directly will not be possible already and a hub
somewhere is necessary
to be in time. Or we have to store it for JavaLand
2024...
Until the swag creation and delivery process works
end-to-end up to
reliable receiving, I want to pick up the swag from
the EFE site, which
is reliable (of course, this is a local optimum from
iJUG unfortunately).
The current process just do not work for us, as this
is a push (from the
US?), not a pull where you have at least the chance
to track the delivery.
Because of a lot of cheating in past of especially
electronics from
China via Amazon with less worth declarations, the
German customs is
strict now and also the free delivery limit has been
lowered.
On top, from the business perspective the additional
fees and required
resources to handle these international shipments
(for swag!) are
suboptimal.
As a habitant of this planet, I am shocked that we
waste so much
resources for sending enriched cotton around the
globe - the smarter way
would be sending the design digitally and print
locally (where
possible). This also could take into account other
local standards like
sizes.
But again, many thanks to you, Reza, to forward this
- hopefully you
have more success than me in the past to push this
into the right direction.
And I hope I can spend more resources to the
technical side (like fixing
vulnerabilities at the moment) again instead of
doing logistics. ;-)
Best,
Jan
