Ok, this is a bit weird, but is there any reason why Tales of Zobeck costs more to ship (in print obvisouly), than Wrath, Halls and the Dwarven Gazetter combined? I'm used to paying extra to get stuff shipped to Australia, but I have never seen this before.
On it's own, Tales will cost $19 or so to ship.
Halls, Wrath and Gazetter will ship for $18 (give or take).
BUT, when I add Tales, shipping jumps to $41!!
It's not to do with the number of items either, cause I added all 5 WotBS products to check, and shipping for all those (without Tales), still only came to 25 bucks or so.
Just Tales and Wrath on their own cost $34 to ship.
Anyone got any ideas? Or am I left to either pay inflated shipping on Tales, or go without a print copy? I was waiting until the 4th ed Halls was ready to ship it all together, 25 bucks or so shipping isn't so bad when it's spread over 5 or 6 books. But looks like I may have to skip the print version of Tales. |

I'm having similar issues with Dwarves of the Ironcrags softcover and Halls of the Mountain King hardcover.
Lulu's charged me $62.64 US to ship them to Australia. Similar to the poster above I'm used to being hit with large shipping costs, but $60 for two books seems a little off.
It's interesting to note that the OP is being charged only $18 for the same books PLUS Wrath of the River King. That's almost $45 less and they get in an extra book.
I too fooled around with adding / subtracting items from the cart to no avail. |

There's an International Edition for Tales, because one version was printed on US-only paper. Some quirk of the Lulu system.
I'd be happy to provide more details and a possible solution in email; alternately, Lulu can probably explain themselves better than I can explain their shipping policies.

Thanks Wolfgang, that solved the problem.
Just hope the Aussie Dollar continues to climb in the next few weeks until the 4th Edition version of Halls ships. |
