[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 5279711, member: 18701"] International shipping is extremely hard to figure up a general shipping charge when shipping minis & books. I tried to come up with a shipping guide on my website for international shipping. It's pretty close, but not perfect. I still end up paying for shipping out of my own pocket on a lot of international orders when the shipping is more than what I charged. The problem is, we can raise the shipping charge a lot to cover big orders, but then smaller orders will be overpaying shipping by a lot (and it won't be worth it to the buyer). That's why sellers may not give you a quote on shipping. They won't know a proper charge until the order is packed and they don't want to lose out on shipping. It's not a big deal if you charge $4 shipping on a U.S. order and the shipping is actually $5 or $6. But it is very possible to actually lose money on an international order (a seller might make $20 profit on the order, but charged $15 shipping and the shipping ended up costing the seller $35). Well the OP specifically asked for non U.S. sellers & mentioned he was already aware of good U.S. sellers. I didn't want to be annoying. :p But those U.S. sellers already get 99% of the referrals on every gamer forum. It's hard to compete with that, so I figured I'd shame myself just so I'm not left out. :o The LoM set looks really nice; I have a good feeling about it. So I've placed a larger than normal order for them to sell on my site (large for me, peanuts to other sellers). I've even been trying to sell cases. So if you looked me up during the release, that would be fantastic! :D [/QUOTE]
