I don;t have any inside information, but I think it's safe to say Coronavirus is whats up with shipping. There's a severe squeeze on ships, actual cargo containers, and port space for loading and unloading. That means anything that goes on a boat is more expensive and probably delayed. It's not just paizo, it's everyone.
Oh, the delays I understand, and totally accept. It's the random price changes that I don't.
You missed my point I think: It's not paizo changing the price, its the international shipping companies. if you look back a few pages you can see the paizo rep talking about how the shipping price charts have been updated for them and they've gone up (because it's a sellers market for shipping so prices are up across the board because of the shortages)
Let's try to clarify. Even if an increase in shipping costs is due to external factors, perhaps even legitimate ones, this does not mean that it is okay for me to receive the order spawning email with $ 5.65 in shipping costs and then in my order history I see a charge of $ 15.72. It is not the money that makes the difference, it is the way in which it was managed.
Now what I am wondering is this: will these be the shipping costs that I will have to expect in the future?
