It's downright shameful.<br /><br />It's as if they don't even want International sales. /boggle/Sham aka Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14329116400656617173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621016516937695074.post-7162932275051222412009-05-28T23:05:54.179-04:002009-05-28T23:05:54.179-04:00I bought FO! 1-4, Knockspell 1 and the Art of Old-...I bought FO! 1-4, Knockspell 1 and the Art of Old-School Gaming book. $63 US shipping. 6 magazines cost me almost $150. Even if I had bought ONE issue, the shipping was still in the $60 range - in fact, I think that for 1 issue, it was something incredibly stupid like $70, and it went dow a little as I added more issues. But that's just ludicris.<br /><br />(goes to Lulu to see what it would cost for FO!5....)<br /><br />Standard shipping (2-3 business days)... $95. For ONE MAGAZINE. If I take ground, which means 3-7 business days after it's printed, which means 6-13 business days, which means 2-3 weeks.... $30. FOR ONE MAGAZINE. And they don't guarantee those times. Economy is only $10 US, but that's 11-15 business, and maybe as much as 30, so basically, if I order it economy, it's still $21 US (so, about $25 Cdn.), and anywhere from 3 weeks to a month and a half before I get it. I think I'll wait a little, and try to get FO!5, KNOCKSPELL 2 and maybe some other ephemera (taichara, I'm looking at you! 8), so that the huge shipping bite isn't so huge.<br /><br />PS. For me to send a magazine standard mail to the US, it would cost me... oh, about $7 shipping. $7 from here... $90 to here.

Maybe my blogger design isn't the best for showing links (they look more light grey than anything else in this scheme if your browser has hit them already).<br /><br />Anyway, no problem!

Surely that cannot be for just one issue of FO!?<br /><br />I'd have to settle for PDFs or hope a friend in the States could reship it for a fraction of that cost. Sorry to hear that. I keep hearing bad things about Lulu lately, and this after I heap them with praise for their quick printing and professional packing.
