The Team Bundle gives customers a hefty 30% discount on a minimum order of 5 bibshorts. Before March 2021, the minimum was 4 bibshorts and I raised this to 5 (on March 1st) in order to offset rising shipping costs for large packages (4 bibshorts and above). I wrote about that change here.
Despite this change, costs per bibshort did not decrease meaningfully to make the Team Bundle sustainable long term.
On Monday, July 12th 2021 (GMT +8), The Team Bundle discount will be decreasing to 20% (from 30%). The minimum number of bibshorts will also be back down to 4.
I understand that a number of models are currently sold out and your team may have been waiting for these to come back in stock before ordering a Bundle. However, due to economic realities, this change has to go into effect as soon as possible and I won't be able to extend it this coming Monday.
RedWhite Apparel operates on the principle of "Scale Economies Shared". Whenever I achieve meaningful economic savings from operating at scale, I pass these on to customers through the Team Bundle. In the past, the 30% Team Bundle was sustainable as I enjoyed a period of artificially low shipping costs on large packages. Covid-19 changed that unfortunately as couriers increased pricing in response to higher fuel prices and higher manpower costs.
I cannot guarantee that the Team Bundle will remain as is and will periodically review it as my cost structure changes.
