Welcome at last to the Salut! Sunderland shop. If you are intending to purchase from any country outside the UK, please go to the Salut! Sunderland Shop's Worldwide Branch by clicking on this link.
The idea is to try to put the time-consuming matter of running Salut! Sunderland on a viable basis, offsetting the costs and enabling more time to be devoted to making it as good a place as possible for SAFC supporters (and the many non-SAFC fans we attract) to visit on the internet.
Who knows? There may even be enough to start slipping a little beer money Pete Sixsmith's way in recognition of all the hard work he puts in for the site.
We will start modestly, with a few selected products and see how it goes. To keep costs and prices down, I need 10 buyers for any item - or, of course, one buying 10! - before I place the order. This ensures a bulk discount without which, for the scheme to have any point, the purchase price would have to be higher.
Once each batch of 10 is secured, I will in turn place the order for the suppliers to despatch. Postage in the UK is free. Varying rates apply for Ireland and overseas and I will add separate buttons for such purchasers as soon as possible.
I hope Salut! Sunderland's big army of readers will see this as a fair way of making the site pay its own way, at the time bringing them small, reasonably priced objects reflecting their passion for the club.
Other objects will follow but as a trial run, and possibly pending the launch of a more better order/payment system, I am offering the following tea/coffee mugs at an introductory price of £9.50 each, reduced from the original £11, with discounts if you order two, four or six:
The Classic Salut! Sunderland Mug I: The text reads: Salut! Sunderland - A Site Better
And
The Classic Salut! Sunderland Mug II. The text, reflecting our recent readership milestone, reads: Salut! Sunderland - A Million Fans Can't Be Wrong
Again, whatever payment method you choose Paypal, card or bank account - use this Paypal button for the Classic Salut! Sunderland Mug II:
Please support Salut! Sunderland if you can - and if the mugs appeal to you. Let us know what other items might seem worth introducing and Ha'way the Lads.
