The shirt costs me £13, the shipping costs £20. Is this a joke? Seriously, these European shipping rates are insane. I am not paying £33 for a shirt, limited edition or not.

Just get someone in the states to ship it to you instead.

We were somewhere around Barstow...

They actually ship overseas now? I thought they couldn't/wouldn't?

I've had issues with postage on amazon before where it costs nearly as much as the product itself

I've not used Amazon.com (but I have used AmazonUK), admittedly, before. However, I've had heavier & bigger items shipped from places in Eastern Europe for £5. £20 shipping for a t-shirt, from anywhere in the world, is an unfair & extortionate fee to pay.

>:( I guess I'll have to give this lot of Bungie memorabilia a miss then, simply cannot afford £20 shipping on a shirt.

Hi I'm RT and I like to argue!

I can't imagine it's cheap shipping stuff halfway around the world.

It certainly isn't that expensive though. I've had larger and heavier things shipped than a shirt from the US to the UK and it didn't cost £20.

The last t-shirt I bought as a present for someone was from the Star Wars official store, and the shipping price was around £7.

Actually I'm fairly certain I've ordered stuff through amazon.com and had international shipping for way less than this. Quick look at their international shipping costs and the rates don't look that bad.

Exactly. I wouldn't have had an issue with this if I had known about it. I've had items shipped in from Austrailia for less than £15. I just wish to know if there's anything Bungie can do about it.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Hmm. I see rates for "per item" and "per shipment". I wonder if Amazon condiered the bags just one item, since they do have multiple other stand-alone products in them?

But yeah looking at those standard rates versus what's actually being charged . . . WTF?
