WTH, $54.38 for shipping a $6.50 authenticator to Canada?

$79 just for shipping to Australia. No wonder they are not out of stock yet.

To whom it may concern, i've posted this on the suggestion forums:

hope some blue reads it.

i sent them e-mails, posted on the thread in general discussion, posted in another thread in support, posted in that thread above

i want that keyfob goddammit!

I posted an offer to re-ship authenticators to out-of-country folks... [WoW] Blizzard Authenticator (hardware device) (Updated 9/16/08 - Back in stock!)

In case anyone is interested.


That is... once they get back in stock. ;)

Thanks for the offer Vyndree, it seems it won't be necessary in the end. As was stated in another thread, Blizz has changed mail companies.
This is what i see from Australia:

ShippingMethod: UPS WORLDWIDE EXPEDITED
Item Subtotal: $6.50
Tax: $0.00
Shipping & Handling: $20.68
Grand Total: $27.18

Still a bit steep ($27) but much better than it was ($84)
Ordered mine today. will probably receive it around June 2009 >.<

From all the Big Brown, thanks for keeping us paid =D

Yes, it's a bit expensive, but it's not cheap to get it there :P Gotta consider the fuel costs from So Cal to wherever it's going, paying for everyone that handles it, the pilots, exports etc.

lol i'm sure it will :P But when you consider that just my building (granted the 2nd largest Air hub in the UPS United States system) spends over 56k a month, just to keep the lights on, in addition to paying over 1500 people, their insurance, tuition reimbursement etc, you get a feel for the expense that is incurred.

Also, the fact that they changed it to "International Expedited" makes me think they were running 1 or 2 day air originally. And that will get you hardcore. Its $15 to send a letter like 65 miles overnight, so international you can see how that's going to go up.
