question re: shipping

[sawbones]

I just added a set of thunderstone advance to my september sidecart and I noted it chose priority mail rather than anything cheaper, is there a reason for this (previous shipments have always been the cheaper 1st class) as I am in Canada, I doubt it makes much of a difference in shipping time (seems to range from 10 days to near a month)

Thunderstone Advance is a card game that comes in a big(ish) box. To qualify for the standard postal rate, packages must under 4lbs and more than 50%, by weight, of bound, printed matter. Therefore the Thunderstone Advance makes the package ineligible for the standard postal rate. First-class has it's own, but similar, set of restrictions (which the system knows much better than I do).

Thanks,
