Another thought I has is, maybe increased shipping costs cut down on flippers and secondary market sales (at least for US sellers)? If people are willing to pay $10 for a sticker on eBay, why not pay the 10c the money?
Not sure about US shipping but international shipping seems excessive when I read some posts. Dont even seem to get shipping notifications any more for the few things I have ordered. Generally I put up with high shipping prices when I import records from the US because I would say vinyl prices are cheaper in the US in general. High shipping charges isnt exclusive to 10c. Same in a lot of artists store. I usually find that its the shipping calculators that is the problem rather than the stores themselves hiking up prices.
Since January 2020, I only receive shipping notifications from the 10club store the evening my item is successfully delivered to my home by Canada Post. To track your 10club packages you need to keep checking your order history https://pearljam.com/ten-club/my-account/order-history & just wait till you see your order status has shipped. Included in your order history will be a tracking number from UPS.

But then it's mystifying that such is the shipping charge. I'm sure it doesn't really matter, as it's still $6 or $7 for a sticker either way.
If I go to a store and buy $10 worth of goods, does it matter if one of them is $6 and one is $4 when I've still spent $10 either way? Not in the long run.

My guess is there will be another streaming event, this time on Memorial Day US / late bank holiday U.K. weekend on 29-31st May. They like to do these on public holidays...
While a tour update would be great, it isn’t going to come in the newsletter. I more or less agree with the prediction of the last person above to post. Maybe with a note about the Global Citizen stuff added in.

It's fascinating, who is sitting there thinking "right, we need to get a t shirt, put deep in huge yellow font on it, then put a 21 yr old show setlist on the back of it".
Don't get me wrong, 2000 was the best tour ever and one of the all time greatest shows. Just amusing.

Sorry how many people here have requested for a meaningless birthday setlist generator?
