Maker Faire special:
Free gifts plus free shipping!
May 27, 2011
If You Missed Maker Faire Last Weekend, or Forgot to Pick Up Some Gifts...
First, we are ever-so-proud of our 14,000 square foot Maker Shed pop-up store, which featured dozens of our favorite authors and makers showing off their latest projects and wares. With the help of Mitch Altman, Jimmie Rodgers and their band of hackerspace volunteers, we taught over 3,100 people to solder for the very first time; each one taking home one of our brand new 2011 flashing LED merit badges . And when the dust had settled, Popular Mechanics selected us as one of their favorite cool attractions at the entire Maker Faire.
But lest you think we're simply teasing you... in keeping with the spirit of Maker Faire, we want to spread the opportunity as far as possible. And so we decided to take the best, newest, and most popular kits and tools featured in Maker Shed's Maker Faire store and make them available to everyone in our biggest sale of the year through Memorial Day Weekend.
Every purchase of $10 or more will get the new 2011 Learn To Solder merit badge pin with flashing LED. Purchase at least $75 and we'll also throw in a Makers Notebook and a 60-page commemorative Maker Faire program; and when your order tops $130 you'll get FREE Shipping.*
*Pin, notebook, and program guide will be added automatically upon shipping to qualifying orders placed through 5/31/11. To get free shipping on your order, just add at least $130 of products to your cart, enter SHIP-MAY in the Coupon Code box in your shopping cart, and pick 'Free Shipping' as the shipping type. Free shipping is only available in the U.S. For our international customers, we can't offer free shipping, but we can offer you a shipping discount. Just enter Coupon Code MAY-INTL to save $10 on your order of $130 or more. Offers expire 12 midnight 31-May 2011.
