In most cases, though, the cheapest international shipping method is a Priority flat-rate box, which means you can probably add in a few more books without increasing the shipping rate.
In case I decide on this method of purchase, how much exactly is a few more books. Say I decide to order multiple copies of the Pathfinder RPG. How many can I order without increasing the shipping cost?
There's no flat answer to that—it's based on the dimensions of the books and the location you're shipping to. All I can say is experiment!

Ah can't you just feel the love in this thread? Though I don't understand the urge of people to come post in the thread to say how they are going 4th edition. I mean really do we have to keep up this silly childish edition war nearly a year after it started?

It's a amazing what you can learn if you just look at a person's posting history. They might as well fill out a profile
RACE: Troll
If we checked their profile before we posted as if they were somebody just wandering in off the street, we'd not only save our own time, but we'd rob them of whatever sick jollies they get from getting responses. In real life, they must get ignored a lot, I guess. Sometimes, just assuming the best about a poster or reacting before checking are not the best things to do.

However, even in those other countries, once you add a couple of things to the box, you *will* be in a Flat-Rate box, and then you can just keep on adding stuff with no additional shipping charge until you exceed the size of the box. So, while it currently costs $44.03 to ship one copy to the UK, it only costs $45.05 to ship two copies, or even three!
Sweet. Now the only questions remaining are: How big is the box and how many copies will I be able fit in it without the total price going over the Finnish VAT for books meaning I'd have to pay customs for the darn thing. My guess is somewhere in the region of 3-4 Pathfinder RPG books. I know for a fact that the Finnish Pathfinder enthusiasts will buy a total of around of dozen of these so... ;)

We don't have a particular date planned. So "shortly after it's done" is the best available answer.

Looks like the answer is 3, because the price goes up when you try 4.

If I buy this and it becomes part of a subscription, will there be some kind of pro-rate situation? As much as I like you folks, I don't think I need that many copies of the RPC and Monster book. I will want to have a subscription for the books if and when it becomes available.

While we don't have details on subs, I can tell you that we won't penalize you for ordering early, and if you order one and then sign up for a sub, we'll just send you one.

Cool, preorder is done on the both the Moster book and the RPG book.

Two questions (and I apologize if either have been covered already - I looked but didn't see these answered ...)
1. Preorder: if I preorder this now, will my card be charged in ANY way? Will the funds in any way be put on a hold or anything like that?
2. Benefit of Preordering: If I preorder now, is there any added benefit to me? I realize it will lock in the price (on the off chance it will be higher once the book actually ships) and it guarantees that I will get a copy if they sell out quickly. Beyond these two (admittedly valid) things, is there any incentive to preorder? A free PDF or something maybe?
Thanks!!!!

1. We never charge for preorders until the order ships. However, we do acquire an authorization for the total, which isn't a monetary transaction, but it does reduce your available credit on that card until the authorization expires. Your bank determines how long it takes to expire, and we have no insight or control over the duration, but I think it's a day or two for most banks.
2. In addition to the price, it also locks in the shipping cost (so long as you don't have us make future modifications to the order that would potentially change the shipping cost, like adding other products, or changing the shipping address); note that the USPS is going to increase some of their rates in May, so this may actually be meaningful in some circumstances. Other than that, we haven't announced any other incentives for preordering... but if we do, they'll apply to *all* preorders retroactively.
In short, while there may or may not be good enough reasons for you to preorder, there really isn't a lot of reason *not* to.

This year, they started to split up their annual rate change into "shipping services" (which increased in January) and "mailing services" (which will increase in May). "Shipping services" include Priority Mail and Express Mail, while "mailing services" includes First-Class, Standard Mail, Periodicals, Package Services (including Parcel Post) and "extra services," such as Certified Mail and insurance.
The May increase will take standard First Class stamps from $.42 to $.44; they claim that the "average increase by class of mail is at or below the rate of inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index."

Accursed recession. Luckily I might be able to save enough money on rent next year to keep me in paizo.

You pay for shipping, so it would save *you* postage. However, it would cost you Indianapolis sales tax. Still probably a savings overall, though.
As for whether it happens or not, it's all a matter of how much other stuff we need to do before the show.

If this question has been asked before then please accept my apology!
As a far as character creation, will "starting packages" be included with each of the core classes like in the Player's Handbook of the "World's Most Popular Role-playing Game"?

I just looked over the whole book.. W00t. I love it. It really flushes out many of the character classes by adding unique abilities, without making them redundant and static as seen in 4E. I'm so glad that somewhere 3.5E is still alive and well and that it is being handled with such love and talent! Thank you guys so much for all your hard work! I will def get this book!

Indy sales tax is 7%, for those interested in this method.

I just downloaded the beta a few days ago and I absolutely love it. Many of the changes mirror some of the house rules that I already have going on in my current 3.5e game, obviously an example of great minds thinking alike... I am particularly excited by the differing sources of power that a sorcerer can choose from, it makes me want to start playing again instead of just DMing! Methinks I will preorder a copy of the core rulebook as soon as I get done posting this!

There's a verification check which can hold money on the account for a couple of days depending on the bank, but no money is taken off your card until the book ships.

There is talk about a Subscripton-option for the Rulebooks. You probably get a free pdf with a subscription.

Probably, but no official announcement as to how one would get this has been announced yet. My guess is that a new subscription will be set up, or that any AP subscriber who buys a book through Paizo will get a pdf along with it.
