Pathfinder Adventure, Maps, Pathfinder Accessories, Rulebook Subscriber; Starfinder Superscriber

I know this is a chaotic time but, given all the talk of cancelling subscriptions, I think it's important to bring up: the published subscriptions schedules (at least the Pathfinder one at https://store.paizo.com/pathfinder-release-schedule/, I haven't checked others subscription by subscription) are out of date.

For the Adventures and Flip-Mat lines, there's no mention of The Dead God's Hand, even though they would be part of the next subscriber day based on the product release dates. The individual subscription pages do show those as the next items, but I think the schedule pages are important so we can see what's coming up.

As a side note, all of the subscriptions that were processed this month were/are showing up as happening again on August 13th (with the next batch happening on August 17th).

Has DHL been removed as a shipping option on the Paizo store (at least to Canada)? It had become the most reasonable shipping option, USPS and UPS prices seem to grow much more quickly with number of items than DHL did, and they have a higher floor.

If USPS and UPS become the only shipping option, keeping subscriptions coming to Canada is going to become completely unsustainable. For a cart with the contents of my last subscription order of:

* Starfinder Adventure: Tales from the Vast Adventure Anthology
* Pathfinder Adventure: Troubles in Grayce Adventure Anthology
* Starfinder Condition Cards Deck
* Pathfinder Beginner Box: Secrets of the Unlit Star
* Pathfinder Flip-Mat: Training Grounds
* Pathfinder Monster Core 2 Pawn Box

the cheapest shipping option now is "USPS (Priority Mail International)" at 119.80 USD. The cost on the actual subscription a few weeks ago, with DHL, was 37.42 USD.

Similarly, on a single-book-order (it was a little silly to have to do that to take full advantage of Gold, but regardless it made the most sense), the floor on shipping now seems to be up at 25 USD for USPS instead of 15 USD for DHL (and UPS starts at $95 for a single book).

I know that fuel prices could cause shipping rates to rise, but the USPS and UPS options were *already* expensive before that happened. Removing DHL removes the only reasonable option (and any visibility on what their price is, for comparison). On top of having a much better price, paying duties/taxes is very easy with DHL (compared to the mail where you just have to hope that you can do it online ahead of time, instead of at the door) and they have very quick deliveries and good tracking.

Is DHL gone for good?
