I know in the US, we have media mail, which makes it pretty easy and cheap to ship RPG books (roughly $5-$7 a package). But media mail doesn't exist for international shipping. Looking at the USPS rates for packages, and the shipping is insane. About as much as the RPG book itself. Forget FedX or UPS, as the prices are nearly triple. I feel like I'm missing something, because it looks like if you want to back a kickstarter for and RPG book and live in a different country from where it's being manufactured, you need to expect to pay a ton for shipping. And as someone who has done KS in the past, it doesn't feel right to me to make a note that shipping outside of the US will be $40 or more for a book that would retail for about $60. It doesn't seem fair to those folks. But the alternative is to only allow physical products in the US only, which also doesn't sound fair. Is there an international version of media mail I'm missing out on? If you've mailed books overseas, what method do you use?
