I don't even know why you would set the shipping price in the present, much less one that insults people's intelligence a bit... They had nothing, it's a "fund me and we'll figure most of it out later" campaign after all, like Necro said... Putting down $19 in advance is essentially including an extra "work tax" with it from the get-go.

I think the shipping stuff is sort of automagically generated, assuming the location of Germany.  I have nothing to do with that. 

if we're distributing it from the USA, I would think everyone would get a kickback on that.  ...

and then the overseas people would get a "... hey you owe us more shipping..."

or something.

Perhaps they just figured a flat rate and added a bit to cover their butts.  If say the PCE version ships from U.S. all in the U.S. would have cheap shipping cost but, those that are across the world may be $20 or more.  Same for the other versions depending on where they are being shipped.  It's crappy but whatever. 

Ark should shit us out a solid gold masterpiece and it will be worth it.

Haha at you guys crying over shipping.  Try living outside the states for a while...

Not only do I regularly get charged extra for shipping, because of the extreme inconvenience, but I usually seem to get charged double and sometimes triple the value of the stamps attached to my packages... I am sure I am not alone...

I too was wondering who would handle the PCE port (I also backed it, of course) but glad to see we are in good hands............

Now if we can get it before June 2017 :P

I am sorry but this shipping costs are real.
And this 19 USD are already a special deal we got.
Normal shipping with DHL to the US is 49 EURO...

If Arkhan is the US contact to develop and press the CDs, you might as well let him distribute it from the US as he's mentioning. If this is just about the PCE port, that is. You simply need a US contact to handle shipping from within. Problem solved, and it's not you in Europe shipping to the US each time per order, and a US buyer having to convert dollars to Euros, and lose out there too.

In their defense, that's the other thing, $19 USD is $17 Euros at this point. Which can change between then and now.

It might be more cost effective for us to distribute.   They'd just need to ship me a crate of all the Ltd. loot stuff.

Depends on if there are more European orders vs. USA ones or not.

but yeah, international shipping rates are terrible now.

Yeah, that's a good point. If minimum pressing order is 1,000 CDs, you keep 500, handle US orders, you ship the other 500 back to him in Europe for European orders. Another straightforward, easy way out of this, etc. And if it turns out there's more orders from one continent versus the other, you adjust as needed (he sends you back more, or you send him back more, etc).

If your plan is to use DHL, then good luck with that. They are f*cking terrible, at like, everything. Back when I worked for FTD.com in their customer service like every day I would have to handle/fix at least 5-10 vendor related orders lost or damaged by DHL. Then you factor in all the orders my co-workers had to fix because they had to fix DHL's f*ck ups also, and it just gets to be too much.

Want some insight into how bad DHL is?

I figure it doesn't matter too much how much the shipping is or even if the game is good. I'll just get my money's worth just talking shit to Arkan until June 2017 :)
