Costs compared to WMF delivery

You state "should be cheaper having them made here, then there with shipment", but how do you know? Have you compared the costs to make the buttons and stickers? MADe (talk) 20:24, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

The last time we had buttons made, it was a lot of 300 1.25inch Wikipedia logo buttons, which cost $47USD (800MXN/17 (current exchange rate) ) Online, I found Custom Buttons (http://www.purebuttons.com/Promotional-Products/Custom-Buttons) which charges $80 USD for the same product, which does not include shipping from the US to Mexico. The Education Program has sent me smaller buttons, but I dont know how much those run the Foundation. Thelmadatter (talk) 13:54, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

WMF comments

Thank you User:Thelmadatter for the clarification on buttons and for submitting this proposal. We are happy to support a program that has had such impressive results in the past. Glad to know that stickers, buttons and certificates motivate your students, and that you have received support to carry out the Semana i project again next term. Please make sure that students keep track of taxi receipts, even photographs are OK. Also, would you please add the category for your user group to the main page of this request? --KHarold (WMF) (talk) 22:05, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
