Right now Dollskill is having a 40% Off Clearance sale if anyone is interested! Free shipping on $75+ and below that $9 flat rate for the US. You can also get 15% off a regular price item with the code SHODDYSCULT.
Although you can probably find a lot of Dollskill's non-brand items (screenprinted tumblrcore clothing) on Taobao or Ali for a good bit cheaper, there are some real brands (Wildfox, Kill Star, Disturbia, UNIF, Sazac) on sale too.
