I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding something, but is the shipping price for international customers a per-item price?
I'm considering adding a Planet Stories and Pathfinder Chronicles subscription to my Pathfinder AP subscription, and when I do, even if I choose 'Hold for monthly shipment' it's showing a S&H price of $13.72 which is twice the $6.86 listed in the drop-down box for USPS Package service.
If I could get all three products delivered once a month for $6.86 I would add the extra subscriptions. If it's going to be 2 or 3 times that for postage etc then I think I'll have to pass.
Could you let me know if I'm overlooking something?

the cheapest rate is bound paper rate which has a weight limit of 7 pounds i believe... Pathfinder subscriptions could be that alone some months (the setting hardcover + pathfinder)so some months you may be able to get the 6.95 shipping, other months you won't... at least thats how i take it

I'm pretty sure the 13$ something is twice the "usual" S/H of 6.86.
Although I expect to see an extra charge over the usual 6.86 in some months where there are many products, it probably wont be twice or thrice the shipping charge.
In fact, you can always try to create a cart with all products of a month (take February for example, I think it will be one of the worse) and simulate the check out up to when you get a shipping charge. That should give you an idea.
EDIT: As I'm curious, I went it did it myself. For February, with all 4 subscriptions, we'll get:
PF #6
CotCT Player's Guide
Guide to Korvosa
RotR Map Folio
Harrow Deck
GMM J3
Almuric
And all that, with combined shipping, the S/H is 6.86$. For reference, I live in Montreal, Canada.

I'll have Gary look into it on Monday, but I think that the Shopping Cart page may be misleading. Have you clicked through to the Order Confirmation page, and checked the pop-up there?
(I think that the Shopping Cart may be adding the cost of shipping the in-stock products—assuming that's what you're choosing to start with—to the monthly shipment, which has the same cost.)
(The limit on Bound Printed Matter is 7 pounds domestically, and 4 pounds internationally. However, Pathfinder is, if I recall correctly, slightly under one pound, so it takes more than just a couple of books to tip you out of that rate. Djoc is correct about the seven subscription products for February being under that limit—though only by a matter of a couple ounces.)

Thanks.
I tried a few other things and even if I choose for the subscriptions to both start with things which can't be shipped immediately, i.e. the Map Folio and the December Planet Stories module it still wants to charge me $20 for the stuff plus $13 for S&H.
What I think I'd like is for whatever's available from Planet Stories and Pathfinder Chronicles to come along with my next Pathfinder (I'm not a GMM subscriber and am skipping that one for now). If you could let me know if that's possible, and what products I'd get, I'll add a subscription. The 'confirm your order' screen makes it look as if my card would be charged $33 odd even if nothing was being sent until the next Pathfinder [I've lost track of which 'month' we're in for Pathfinder, incidentally!]
Thanks for the reply, though!
