Holy S&H, Batman!

I've had a Pathfinder Player's Guide sitting in my shopping cart for some time now, and got hooked by the recent talk of Hollow's Last Hope (sadly, can't make it to a Free RPG event) and Crown of the Kobold King.

The subtotal was just a penny shy of $20.00. Cool! Proceed to checkout...

WHA?! $30+?!

Over $15.00 in Shipping & Handling, almost equalling the price of the merchandise. These are magazine-sized (in cover dimensions, not page count) items. I mean, I've ordered plenty of things through online retailers, including a few backstock magazines at a time from Paizo and "don't drop it on your foot" Ptolus, but never have I choked at the sight of S&H charges like I did just now.

Is there a good reason for the sky-high shipping costs in this case?

In this case, you've selected the option to ship the items separately, as they become available. That means three separate packages heading your way, and your total is the sum of the three.

During the checkout process, you can choose to have us hold all the items until they're all in stock, and then ship them together—you'll find that's significantly cheaper.
