Tired of the one in the US store always being out of stock?
Just get one from the European store if you are tired of waiting.
Shipping costs about 4.5 times as much as the token itself, but if you want security, and you want it now, this would be the way to go.
I just ordered one myself.

How does it work if you are running 5x copies of the game? Do you need to generate and type in a different code for each?

Well, sometimes an issue. Sometimes not all characters get in on the first try. But you can use one authenticator with N accounts, easy - just enter the same authenticator ID on all of them.

Yup. I use it on all mine. I've even entered the code, hit the button and gotten then next code and hit enter on both screens and had it work. They just need the number to be one of the one that will be generated within a 2 minute window.
My only worry is that I will lose it and have to wait for another one to be delivered. I should get a backup just in case.

When I looked to get mine, the shipping was 56 bucks as well (Canada) So I had a friend of mine get one in the states, and ship it to me. Total cost was a tad over 15 bucks, Authenticator included >.>

I have one for my 10 boxing and I just removed it. A friend of mine 5 boxing had a problem with his and it stopped working. In order to get his accounts back he had to provide Blizzard all his personal information (no bid deal...) as well as all serial numbers for each of the accounts.... (accounts*3).
If you're like me you'll have trouble finding it, I even did some online upgrading and don't even remember where I put my serials... It took him one week to get it all again running. Since it takes about the same time to get your account back and restored when hacked I removed it from all accounts.
It's just too damn bureaucratic, authenticated personal information should just do the trick... not farming for serials!
I'm not encouraging anyone to do so, just wanted to tell you about this.
