I understand you are upset, but there are already at least 2 or 3 threads about this same thing.

Easy answer, supply and demand.

The price was cheap when the demand was low, the price went up do to exponential demand.

Thats a BS answer.

Raise the product price, don't Triple the Shipping cost.

I see you just want to be angry. I appreciate that. I would refrain from escalating this further.

do you know AYNTHING about shipping costs? unlike some people I have worked at a game manufacture, that shipped mail orders via the mail/ups/fedex. So i know something about this.

When I was doing a lot of collectable minitures on eBay I charged an extra 5 dollars for international shipping since i had to fill out a silly little customs form. Some customers were outraged, and KNEW what the cost was, but never figured out my TIME and factored that into the costs.... the obviously thought i was going to work for free.

i got my advesary cards in a cheap padded mailer. Which I think someone in the warehouse decided on a "Cheap" option. Then a supervisor/manager realized some of the items were getting damaged and needed to be shipping in a box. boom, weight goes up, shipping costs go up

if you really want to avoid shipping costs, go talk to your FLGS and have them get it for you.

I ordered all three decks this tuesday and was charged $3.60 (USPS FIRST CLASS INTL) for shipping. Out of curiosity I checked what it would cost today and I'd have to pay $10.58. :blink:

Lucky me, I guess...

wow. i got all 3 shipped to new zealand for $3.60 too. i thought it was too good to be true. i was considering some of the specialisation decks too, no chance of that now.

Sorry guys, but it is the beginning of the holiday season also. People are starting to make Thanksgiving and Xmas plans (planes are filling up, getting heavier, using more gas), more packages being mailed out (again the vehicles are getting heavier), gas prices haven't come down. So, well, you know complain to the government about the gas prices.

Me too man - lucky to have gotten in that window of affordable NZ shipping!

I made an order to Australia of 7 sets (4 specialisation and 3 adversary decks) and has a shipping cost of $18.70. Cost to ship the same thing today: $28.79. Me thinks FFG's Ordering System may have been calculating incorrectly :) Lucky us :)
