You Shall Not Pass…Without Checking Out this New Nylon
1Back in January, Black Milk Clothing released their first Lord of the Rings and Hobbit inspired collection. We’re happy to report that they’ll be releasing their second collection this week!
Black Milk LIMITED TIME Free Shipping
Black Milk Clothing, the beloved spandex company of many a geek gal, is currently offering Free Shipping. But, you need to hurry, as the free shipping offers ends FRIDAY, 5pm AEST! That’s Australia time, so be aware that the time difference basically means this deal ends late Thursday night. So if you’ve been wanting to purchase a piece, now is a great time to save at least $12 by not having to pay shipping fees.
Don’t forget though – if you order over $200 in the US, you WILL incur customs fees. So just make sure to place multiple orders that all total less than $200 to avoid getting charged those customs fees. And why not? With Free Shipping, this is the only time placing multiple orders makes sense!
Happy Shopping fellow Geek Sharkies!
