creativity is not only on the screen but can also be integrated into daily life.

OpenAI's official store supports shipping to Taiwan. However, customers should be prepared for high international shipping fees. For instance, a ChatGPT hat priced at roughly NT$1,300 incurs an additional international shipping cost of approximately NT$1,700, making the total cost around NT$3,000, more than the hat itself.

These merchandise items fall under the "Supply Co." series. OpenAI explained that Supply Co. began as a small batch of merchandise for employees, but its popularity led to its expansion as part of the brand's culture. The company plans to release new products quarterly and explore more cross-brand collaborations.
