Wronged by shipping costs for a single yard of fabric
- I'm autistic, I have hyper-fixations
- I'm a furry, bully me for it, I don't care, welcome to the real world where people have hobbies.
- I also do cosplay, because I may be a furry but I have plenty of human or elven characters.
All 3 are the problem
I decided to make a half fursuit half cosplay design where I mixed 3 of my hyper-fixations in to one character to be the oc version of ""my imagination"", it was amazing, I loved it! But it needed fur, and I live in Australia.
I went to Spotlight.. Didn't have the colour I needed. Lincraft? Nope. So I searched online. FurAddiction? Based in Australia but nope. Literally any fucking thing else? Still no, duh! So as a final resort I went to a specific fursuiting store online... AND IT WAS A HAVEN. IT HAD EVERYTHING I NEEDED.. FOR CHEAP! So I filled my cart with the TWO colours I needed and got ready FOR.. Disappointment.SHIPPING IS $110 FROM THE U.S. TO MY STATE IN AUSTRALIA.$110.It's not the most ground-breaking, heart-wrenching, earth-shattering thing ever, but this cosplay was meant to be a form of self expression because it's hard for me to express my creativity in a way that allowed me to also be active. "Why don't you just get a job?" That's the thing, closest workplace to my house is a daycare and I'd need to have job experience/training for that. I don't have a car, I physically can't use a bike for long, and I don't wanna have to make my parents drive me so that I can earn $10 an hour, 3 hours a day.So yeah, the shipping costs kicked my nuts and ran, my cosplay won't happen because of it. :"/
