Marie Mori actually, the unicorn myth itself came from the ibex. The ibex is a gazelle like creature with two long horns on its forehead. People saw it with one horn when they looked at its side. The ibex is commonly seen on safaris in Africa so, yeah, you do see a unicorn on lots of safaris.
These are actually pretty cool. From the thumbnail, I was assuming they'd be cheap/tacky, but I like 'em. It's an added bonus that you can paint them, which I didn't even think about.
Where do you live, the moon? I just checked the cost of shipping and the highest I could find was about $17 for Bucky. Sure, it's expensive if you choose the super fast UPS Air option, but it's just that, an option.
"Shady" is a slang term for dishonest. Brokerage fees, also known as customs, are arbitrary taxes applied to most international orders that are foisted upon the purchaser.
I will not deny that, but it's important to note that the shipping fee goes to the courier, not to us. If you want to complain to someone, complain to UPS. Also, you and I both know there are multiple shipping options to Canada on Vat19.com.
Distance CAN matter, but when it comes to international shipping it doesn't matter if the border is 10 miles away or 1000 miles away, it still counts as an international shipment and is priced accordingly. If you don't like it, take it up with the courier since they're the one taking your money.
Distance has nothing to do with it. Even if the border is really close, UPS still has to go through customs and have everything inspected, taxed, and reloaded onto the truck. It's time consuming and expensive for everyone involved.
Two reasons. eBay is an enormous multinational company with hundreds of distribution facilities and enormous discounts with numerous carriers. Also, postage is determined by the courier, not the seller, as anyone who has ever had to buy postage will happily inform you.
(I couldn't decide which one of your comments to comment on but I just decided to comment on the last one you commented) Nice job for putting these people in there place.
***** I think it made it more convenient. The only problem I really see is that you can't downvote comments properly. Other than that, people should stop complaining like it's going to change anything.
Lasers are a fixed cost. The cardboard is a variable cost. Assuming they created a ton of products, one singular product would probably cost $1. The cardboard would probably cost at most 25 cents per product in bulk from China. The manufacturing/labor/laser costs would probably make up the other 75%.
This. Unless the seller is doing something shady, brokerage fees from your local customs agency can be a nightmare as well. Obviously, we have no influence over the cost of postage or what various customs agencies around the world are extorting.
I challenge you to make your own then and post it online- it would take a lot longer, not fit together as well and frankly it would look bad if you used a bunch of packages that aren't the same colour/ thickness etc! I think they are very original and a great addition to the home :)
If companies charged consumers just over cost-to-produce for their goods, nobody in the entire supply chain would get paid. $29.99 pays these guys for running the company, the distribution warehouse workers and the driver who got it to them, the the laborers who constructed the thing (maybe) and the people who shipped it from the factory, and the people who designed it. Markup happens for good reason. Plus you're not buying cardboard, you're buying an awesome and fully unique thing!
The manufacturer chooses the wholesale price they sell to retailers like Vat19, Vat19 is the one that chooses the retail price. You can get almost anything at least 20-30% cheaper anywhere else, which makes Vat19 to blame.
To all the haters, nobody is forcing you to buy. Now why is it so high? Let me see if I can explain: - design (you have to design that on computer first and this may take time) - cutting wood - shipment - storage + advertisement
Yes, it's a one time setup cost with minimal upkeep and electricity is cheap, still cheaper than manual labour. Besides, Vat19 will be hiring someone else's laser cutter to do these.
I think what he means is that the amount of time it would cost you to cut out all of the pieces perfectly is more than the cost of the actual product. Assuming you don't have a machine that can do this for you automatically of course.
Yes they do. Thats like saying the grocery store doesn't set their prices. They buy in bulk for cheap then sell for profit. But $54.99 for some cardboard is insane.
Yea, I understand your situation, having other services like UPS adds to the low cost of the product you are offering and gets it to a really high mark. Oh and sorry for blaming you for the price of shipping, I was just startled since Canada was so close to the US, I was expecting 10$ max.
lol XD Imagine the fathers having a unicorn hung at their walls and telling their daughters stories about how they hunted the creature XD The expression on the girl's faces will be priceless XD
I don't see how I was suggesting in any way that it was vat19's fault that the products were expensive; I was saying that the products that vat19 put up tend to be on the expensive side.
How much glitter can we apply to the Cardboard Safari Unicorn Trophy? You'll just have to watch and see.
I want one , can I have one for free?
thats cool
thats y i want one for free
i know but it is still quite expensive

Because in every safari you see a unicorn!
Yeah you do don't you
Every half-decent Safari has a unicorn.
It’s a horse and they put a horn on it.
Definitely... now take your meds 😅

"Great conversation piece" where did you get that? I don't know. Ok good conversation.
I first watched Strawz and then I saw some more curiously awesome products.Now I can't stop watching.

Ever! you sell awesome stuff!
EVERYTHING VAT19 says is a great conversation piece
Just add some pink furr to the unicorn and it will look like a fluffle puff😸😋😆❗️🐱🐯💜❤️😝🐆
Fluffle is best pony! Or you can make a pink fluffy unicorn... dancing on a rainbow base.! XD
Or you can get a life
^ that was deep.

WAS THAT A CARDBOARD SAM WINCHESTER AT THE END?
yes yes it was!!! also. wonderful reffence

ITS LIKE 30 BUCKS
WHAT THE HECK
Ofsir Derpington IK it's just cardboard
th-cam.com/video/3IocouluZnk/w-d-xo.html
Who cares its cheap kinda or are you poor you cannot even afford 1 buck and how did you even get a phone
You’re not only paying for the material. You have to pay for the people that made it, the tools required, and some other stuff.
Ragna 30 bucks are expensive.
This is such a great idea!! At least animals aren't harmed in the making of this
that unicorn doee

So overpriced, like everything else they sell.
Stupid, just like all your content
@@Frustratiiing wow damn i can tell you are a kid her content is good even if i dont watch her and shes right its just cardboard who even uses stupid
Omg
@@ezpzquentin-brawl9441 theres something called 'an opinion'
Dear vat19,
These cardboard boxes wore very hard work to make.Dont listen to idiots you made something that others can't.Giving a like
Because a moose is a safari animal - seems legit!
Mathias Vinter its still more believable than unicorns....
WHICH ARE THE ONLY ONES NOT DISCONTINUED!
You lot are just too god damn cool, you know. Just too much so. I literally love the whole vat 19 team.
What if we don't have hands?......Wait.....
use your teeth
But what if you don't have teeth?
Have astaroth restore them
Anthony Belknap Buy Vat19's Tiny Hands or wait for their jumbo-sized ones
Thanks! Welcome to the collective!
lol im gonna get the unicorn and make twilight sparkle
I will make Fluffle Puff. Just because! :D
mckinzie loomis YAZ
That unicorn was beautiful!!!
$30 for some cardboard. No thanks.
joshy hatfield Did We Ask?
carrie4492 why don't you try to do something as detailed as what you saw in this video
I agree
carrie4492 omg I know
carrie4492 it's just a waste of money
(I couldn't decide which one of your comments to comment on but I just decided to comment on the last one you commented) Nice job for putting these people in there place.
It costs 30 bucks for recycled cardboard
But it's a deer
Tiffany inocencio or a Unicorn
I actually really love the way it looks.
i made one by myself for only 4$
Let's see it then....
Zelix B Yes. Of this stature and quality.
*Checks price* HOLY **** $54.99?
John Backs There are cuss words with only two letters...? >_>

You guys should do a giveaway of that majestic unicorn!!! So... BEAUTIFUL!!!
Only for one of them. The rest aren't nearly that expensive.
That unicorn looks AMAZING XD
You're alright.
That's just for the largest one. The others are about half that.
This. Unless the seller is doing something shady, brokerage fees from your local customs agency can be a nightmare as well. Obviously, we have no influence over the cost of postage or what various customs agencies around the world are extorting.
Ok let’s be honest you had everyone at “ there is also a unicorn”
A UNICORN!!! 🦄
you are the best!!! in!! the! world! vat19!!!

That unicorn is glorious.
Did you know that you're the first guy I came across that actually knows what he's saying about Vat19?
That unicorn is fabulous
The unicorn made me smile!

this looks like a great thing for kids to decorate and/or make.
To all the haters, nobody is forcing you to buy. Now why is it so high? Let me see if I can explain:
- design (you have to design that on computer first and this may take time)
- cutting wood
- shipment

Aha! Finally found where my dad got the deer head!
“Requires no tools, just your hands”
People without hands, legs a head and a physical body: 👁👄👁
Yes, it's a one time setup cost with minimal upkeep and electricity is cheap, still cheaper than manual labour. Besides, Vat19 will be hiring someone else's laser cutter to do these.

Jamie: It requires not tools, just your hands
Me: But what if I don’t have hands?
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
If I had the unicorn one, I'd over-decorate it so much!
Cool! You should get some proudcts in the stores!
You should do this same cardboard concept but with guns, I think that would make a awesome center piece for a coffee table
Consider it considered!
These are everything 😍😍😍
Guys, vat19 is warehousing and marketing.
They don't make nor set the price of the products, just store and market them for distribution.
I think what he means is that the amount of time it would cost you to cut out all of the pieces perfectly is more than the cost of the actual product. Assuming you don't have a machine that can do this for you automatically of course.
What will happened when a kid makes them how much minutes will it take vat19
That unicorn... It makes it all worthwile!
Look it's one hell of a deer!
pun city
Guys, blame the creators for the price. Vat19 only sells them, they don't make it. SO BLAME THE MANUFACTURER!
I love VAT19!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes they do. Thats like saying the grocery store doesn't set their prices. They buy in bulk for cheap then sell for profit. But $54.99 for some cardboard is insane.
$29.99 isn't double. That's like saying all Lego sets are $500 because the one of the Death Star is grossly overpriced.
Yea, I understand your situation, having other services like UPS adds to the low cost of the product you are offering and gets it to a really high mark.
Oh and sorry for blaming you for the price of shipping, I was just startled since Canada was so close to the US, I was expecting 10$ max.
Even so, you can use the pieces to trace new ones and you can make as many Unicorn heads as you want. Sell em to your friends.
We got this out of wood for years!
Bavarian for the win :)
dang vat19.com i dont even remember why i went to youtube.com anymore lol
Vat19, how dare you sell things at a higher price than you bought them for! I never thought you'd do such a thing~
My God its like I want everything from vat19...
hey easy now. each piece is laser cut for a precision fit, ensuring that construction is a snap.
OMG! you guys made unihorns unextincted! :O
Even better if the video ads are other Vat19 videos
lol XD Imagine the fathers having a unicorn hung at their walls and telling their daughters stories about how they hunted the creature XD The expression on the girl's faces will be priceless XD
one day ill have a credit card and vat19 will never be in stock
I don't see how I was suggesting in any way that it was vat19's fault that the products were expensive; I was saying that the products that vat19 put up tend to be on the expensive side.
If it's on four legs and in the wild it's totally fair game.
They arent a safari animals but its soo cool and fun :-)
I can't imagine how hard it would be to dust these things.
Welcome to vat19.
“Just your hands, no tools” your hands are tools...
You can make them yourselves, it'll take a bit longer because you need to design them yourself, but you'll probably be able to make one in a day
You need to do videos more often!
how long did it take to decorate the unicorn..? its awesome...
just so you know vat 19, the unicorn WILL go out of stock first :P
When they said it's not possible to over decorate a unicorn, they just did!
they are not very reasonable on their prices lol, but they do have some cool items
0:24
‘It requires no tools’
My hand is a tool
thanks for the idea, i'm going to buy some cardboard now.
I really only watch the videos by you guys.
