Finally I noticed that the Pathfinder Chronicles Subscription is available and there is just one thing stopping me from subscribing: Shipping Cost. As the items in this subscription will vary wildly (ranging from item cards to hardcover books) is there a fixed shipping cost?
I'm asking because I'm not willingly to pay almost as much for shipping as for the product in question. The shipping (to Germany) for the Treasure Chest for instance is insane and I fear that I will face similar problems with the Pathfinder Chronicles subscription.
Which leads to another question: Will Pathfinder Adventure Path subscribers receive a free PDF for products they purchase separately or do I have to subscribe to Chronicles to gain this benefit?

The shipping cost is not fixed for the subscription. However, you can combine multiple Paizo subscription shipments to keep the costs low.
As for the Treasure Chest, when we first listed the product, we were drastically overestimating the weight of the product. Have you tried adding it to your cart lately? You might find that the shipping cost is much lower now.
Only Pathfinder Chronicles subscribers get free PDFs of those products (not including cards).
Thank you for the reply.
Well the shipping cost to Germany for the Treasure Chest dropped from about 30$ to 25$ which is still a little bit too much for my taste ;).
My major concerns are the card products and the hardcover book. Maybe I'll give it a try and see what shipping costs the automatic generated orders for subscriptions show.
If the system placed such an order would it still be possible to cancel it (obviously before I reveived the pdf File and the product has been shipped)?

During the checkout process, you'll see an example of shipping before you have to commit to purchasing. You can also add different combinations of products to your cart and check the shipping quote.
The Treasure Chest is relatively expensive to ship because it's heavy and contains a bunch of things that aren't books, and thus can't qualify for the (much less expensive) Bound Printed Matter shipping rate.
The Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting Hardcover will qualify for BPM—by itself, it will get to Germany for $6.86. The cards aren't BPM either, but they're relatively light, so, for example, the Harrow Deck will also ship (by itself) for $6.86.
Ah thanks for the advice. I tried out every relevant combination and the shipping cost always came down to 6.86$.
So... you have a new Chronicles Subscriber.
Thank you for your help Vic :).
