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

[Zub]

$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:

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.
