Gift shop vs Online store prices

Post by gt0163c »

I was looking through the Space Camp online store today and I was wondering if the online prices are the same as gift shop prices at camp. Also, how is the selection, particularly for patches and pins at the gift shop?
Would I be better off buying online or waiting and buying at camp?

I think there is more stuff at the store than in the catalog. You also pay shipping vs. tax. I suppose for a flight suit, I'd rather pay shipping.

Yes, the store has more than what is shown on the website. I think the prices are the same.

There is a HUGE selection of pins and patches. I collect pins from places i go so i look for them immediately and there is a display of nearly every american space mission patch there is. I believe that they're thee dollars

the store does have a lot more stuff, but i guess it all really comes down to what your looking at buying. ive toyed with ordering stuff from the website, but i always ended up waiting until i got to camp to get it

Also, if you know they have something in the store that isn't shown on the website, you can e-mail them and they may send it out. I have done it before.
