that inFAMOUS 2 art book i have been slowly (but surely) saving pay pal monies for by selling things and doing commissions for...you know the one, right.
the other day i found out via my collector forum that the shipping on these books from this company is $100 to the US. I just about shat my pants and went to check for myself and sure enough, it is $100.
the forum also said that "australia is only $10 shipping :D" and i was like BUT WHY AUSTRALIA IS ALWAYS MORE WTH and its because the book company is ~*~in Australia~*~
i've done some poking around, via getting the weight of one of the other books the company publishes from amazon and slapping it into the australia post postage calculator.....looks like this company only sends express which is why its freaking $100.
so basically i was wondering if and when this book is announced and released if i could get an Australia middle-man for it. I don't mind if shipping is a little slower, it still will probs be about $50 but $50 is not $100 so...yeah.
but i do so need me a super special infamoose artbook in my life you don't even know. the extra $100 in shipping i was not expecting and would have to crap out several dozen more commissions to afford it....
still though who ever heard of only using express and ~*~that's it~*~ for shipping. gujhaghgjg

i looked on amazon and it showed another one of their books was 3.3lbs or something, but i rounded it up to 4lb and ran it on the australia post website... express package shipping showed like 80 bucks or something, but the regular parcel was about $50 or something...does that sound right?
if its close to $100 either way i might as well just order right from them, but it seems like i might be able to get cheaper going something not-express. :c
