Buying online is good for the environment. Well, we would say that. But here's somebody who wears a lab coat, has lots of letters after their name and (probably) no tattoos who agrees...

"The carbon emission of each item bought online and delivered to a customer is 132 grams of C02. Twenty-seven items need to be bought on a dedicated car journey to the shops to achieve the same level of efficiency. Nine purchases need to be made to be as green as shopping online on a bus journey." ... Dr. Julia Edwards, Heriot-Watt University speaking at IMRG's July 2008 OnLine Green Awards (The OLGAs)

So the more you buy, the more you help the planet, right?

Backstreetmerch aim to ship all items held in stock immediately and we automatically re-order items when they are out of stock. However, the nature of the music merchandise business is fast moving and occasionally some of our third party suppliers (the official licensees) don't always carry every item in stock. As a result, some harder to find items may take more than 2 weeks to ship. If this is the case, we will contact you by e mail on a weekly basis and keep you informed on the status of your order. We do our utmost to provide the best possible service whilst also offering you the largest range of officially licensed music merchandise on the internet. If you order more than one item, we will send what is in stock straight out to you instead of delaying you whilst waiting to ship any further items. You will not be charged any extra shipping costs for this. You can contact our Customer Services team at any point for further help. Many thanks, The Backstreetmerch Customer Services team.

HELP REDUCE CARBON EMISSIONS BY WASHING AT 30 DEGREES

The biggest cost to the environment is the washing of a T shirt, not the manufacture of the shirt. Washing clothes at 30 degrees instead of 40 degrees reduces electricity consumption on average by 41%. So turn your washing machine down and drip dry, not tumble dry, and save yourself money as well as the environment.
