If you click 'get details' and enter a valid postcode or zip then you will get a sensible estimate. Because the fields have nonsense entries the silly default shows up. |

Yeah, I've seen his auctions up quite a few times, with (what I remember as) reasonable shipping. I just thought it was humorous. |

Trans Atlantic postage is ruinously expensive these days. Speaking from personal experience I haven't ordered anything from the US in years. I'd love some of Brigade Games stuff, but the postage costs always deter me from completing the order. |

Keep checking, newarch, and remember it's shipping and handling. Working this the other way, I've found S&H from some firms perfectly reasonable, while others in the same scale clearly so no need for an American market. (All honors to Irregular Miniatures for speed and economy.) |

I did see it the first time Robert! $1,000 USD US does sound a bit steep, although I get the somewhat more reasonable £4.50 GBP for UK delivery. I assume ebay is at fault here. I can't remember when the cost of trans atlantic postage got so steep, back in the 00s I often bought stuff from America. We get an additional customs handling charge over a certain amount these days too. |

Yes, and if you notice, it will take over 32 day to deliver as well… Cheers
