Has DHL been removed as a shipping option on the Paizo store (at least to Canada)? It had become the most reasonable shipping option, USPS and UPS prices seem to grow much more quickly with number of items than DHL did, and they have a higher floor.

If USPS and UPS become the only shipping option, keeping subscriptions coming to Canada is going to become completely unsustainable. For a cart with the contents of my last subscription order of:

* Starfinder Adventure: Tales from the Vast Adventure Anthology
* Pathfinder Adventure: Troubles in Grayce Adventure Anthology
* Starfinder Condition Cards Deck
* Pathfinder Beginner Box: Secrets of the Unlit Star
* Pathfinder Flip-Mat: Training Grounds
* Pathfinder Monster Core 2 Pawn Box

the cheapest shipping option now is "USPS (Priority Mail International)" at 119.80 USD. The cost on the actual subscription a few weeks ago, with DHL, was 37.42 USD.

Similarly, on a single-book-order (it was a little silly to have to do that to take full advantage of Gold, but regardless it made the most sense), the floor on shipping now seems to be up at 25 USD for USPS instead of 15 USD for DHL (and UPS starts at $95 for a single book).

I know that fuel prices could cause shipping rates to rise, but the USPS and UPS options were *already* expensive before that happened. Removing DHL removes the only reasonable option (and any visibility on what their price is, for comparison). On top of having a much better price, paying duties/taxes is very easy with DHL (compared to the mail where you just have to hope that you can do it online ahead of time, instead of at the door) and they have very quick deliveries and good tracking.

Is DHL gone for good?

I hope not. DHL's tracking and easy of rearranging delivery was a big plus and saved by bacon when it came to Galatic Ancestries.

Oh, some good news is that DHL Express Worldwide is back to being available (to my location)! Not sure whether that happened after subscriptions were processed today or instead sometime Friday/over the weekend, but it would now be back down to 17 USD for shipping those items (instead of 37 USD).

That's great for still being able to continue subscriptions (though I had already skipped this month's items). I can look forward to getting Lost Omens: High Seas as soon as possible!
