I was very happy when I first saw the RPG bundle offers.
[i][i](For those who have no idea w...ng.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=21498 )[/i][/i]
But recently I have done some calculating and for my taste the shipping fees are just too expensive.
Let's assume I want to order the Babylon 5 RPG bundle (which I do consider!). I live in Germany, making this for the shipping and handling choices of the Mongoose online store (and that is to my knowledge the only place from where to order the bundles) "Rest of the World".
Being in this category results in a fee for shipping and handling of 13 $!
This means I have to pay some 63 $ for the bundle.
A resident of the UK or USA/Canada would have to pay 8 $ S/h respectively.
In that case, it is cheaper for me to get both titles seperately from a local gaming store or an online retailer.
In my eyes this is not going to help boosting the sale numbers for the bundles.
I sort of hope for a change: Possibly that the sales department of MP would grant a special shipping fee for the bundle offers or generally make shipping for costumers (especially for us residing in "Europe") cheaper as
the company is UK based, so shipping to europe shouldn't be that expensive in my eyes.
Another point is that as the order grows in sheer numbers, you get even more s/h bucks added.
Perhaps Mongoose could consider making a cut here, meaning that if you order more stuff for more money, the S/h fees will remain steady at some point granting sort of a flat rate for shipping!
Any thoughts?
