What a Theft!!!11

[Fizban]

I wanted to order all the books (revised + monster for 45$) and what do I discover? The delivery price to Israel is 25$!!
25$!!
For shiping it!!
cost like the books themselves!
Why the hell the shiping to Israel is so expensive?!

Mainly because there is NO way that those 3 fat books will fit in Global Express envelope. Sorry man - I blame USPS for this.

I must say this is kind of strange since Key20 were nice enough to ship BW:R + Sorcerer for only $12 to Sweden. Via USPS. The MonBu ought to fit in one of those envelopes together with BW:R. I received HERO 5th Ed in a Global Priority mail envelopes so these three little books ought to fit too without damaging them.

There are two types of those GPM envelopes, and when we were sending out Monster Burners and Classic edition from BWHQ we were using smaller ones, but as you said Angaros they might fit in those bigger ones, but on the other hand weight might be an issue too.

If it's any consolation, UPS apparently wants another US $16 and change from me to deliver my order to Canada, on top of what I've already paid for shipping. The nice folk at Key20 are in the process of sorting it out, but you can take some satisfaction in the fact that being ripped off by the people making deliveries is a constant around the world.

Hello to the forums, by the way. When I actually get my hands on my pre-ordered copy of BW, I will no doubt be more talkative. For now, I'll just brood.

Edit: I take it all back. It's not UPS, but Canadian customs. Now I can shake my fist at an entirely different quarter of the heavens.

I live in israel and my shipping cost is 12$, perhaps you have asked for a higher priority of shipment which was more expensive. I didnt care much for how long the shipment will take because it was a preorder and I knew it will take time anyway.
Hope that helps.
