This thread is directed to those celt bloggers who live internationally and are subjected to the ridiculous shipping prices from NBA.com
How are you all getting your championship gear? I was browsing recently and they wanted to charge me $70 for something that would fit in a 5cmx5cmx5cm box, if not less.
Is there a better alternative? This doesn't really seem like a viable option.

Are you shopping on NBA.com??
I shop on Celtics.com (I don't know if they are actually different but I think they are, Celtics Store is run by seenon) and they charged me like $33 for shipping.
Hope that helps you.
Anything is possible!!!

Hey there lads
I bought the Champions locker room Cap and shirt off Ebay.com (the US Site)
as well as the the DVD which is a pre-order for the 15th of July
I also got three commerative championship magazines
there is heaps available and the shipping to Aust. is more than reasonable when compared to the ridiculous prices at NBA.com and Celtics.com
with time more and more of the Champions gear should be appearing on ebay
though be on the watch out for non-genuine crap
I love ebay
I love the Boston celtics
Good luck boys

  • A Celtic Fan
See, this is one of the good
things about Facebook:
I contacted a friend who lives
in New York where he works as
a bartender. I went to high
school with him many years ago.
We don't really talk that much
but I just asked him if he could
go to the NBA Store and pick up
a couple of Celtics t-shirts.
I figured the worst that could
happen was him saying he didn't
have time or whatever.
Well, he did have time and he's on
his way to Denmark as I write this.
So I'm one lucky and happy Celtics fan  :)

Just wanted to share this, even though
I know it didn't answer your question.

But...
Why not ask someone here at CB if they
could help you?

I seriously considered doing so until
I thought of my high school friend...
