I really have trouble understanding how shipping is calculated when you're sending my subscriptions.
It's sad: after May's shipping rate increases, I first decided to cancel my subscriptions, but finally thought better and re-subscribed after reading all the trouble you were getting through to send our Pathfinder issues over the oceans. (And after deciding I didn't want to wait two months for a Pathfinder issue to be available through Amazon.)
On Jun, 13, you sent Pathfinder #10 and that cost me $21.38 ($7.39 shipping).
Today, order #979184 was created. That's for Pathfinder #11, and it's going to cost me $22.42 ($8.43 shipping).
Is the shipping rate going to keep moving over the next months? Is this an error?

Looks like all that cancelling, re-adding and changing combined shipping options confused your order a bit. In fact, that particular order will also include the Guide to Darkmoon Vale, and shipping the two together will cost $9.23.
As far as the future goes, we've been renegotiating shipping rates with our vendor based on our recent higher volume, and we're confident that we'll be able to announce an overall *decrease* in international shipping rates in early July.

Sadly, nothing new on the horizon there.

Thanks for the explanation Vic, the shipping rate looks fine with two items in the order now.
Just to be sure, the Guide to Darkmoon Vale does appear on the order's page, but isn't listed along with PF11 on the "Preorders" section of the My Account page. Is that normal?
Gary looked into it—it's just a display issue; the order is fine.
Thanks!

Happy to hear that. That dozen Pathfinder Beta books I'm going to order is currently at about $100 shipping (even optimized to packets of 4-7 each)... :)
