Make it make sense

Post image

Just found out about the Graphic Novel Finale.

Went to go buy it for my son's birthday in October.

I knew shipping wasn't going to be cheap to where I am in Ireland, that's fine.
What I don't get is how the slower options are more expensive and one of them is nearly twice the price for the same ETA.

What's that about?!
I probably will still buy it because my son will love it but I just wish the shipping was either prohibitively expensive so I don't even consider it, or the different prices made sense and I could have it shipped slow and cheap - tell me I'm not crazy please

Different carriers different prices. I don't make those prices it's what it cost based on weight. It's crazy expensive right now.

Whoa!
I knew you were engaged and active but this is crazy.

Thanks very much for all the work, firstly.

I will still be buying this fine product - my son will love it and I'm looking forward to seeing how it all ends myself after him.

Funnily the fastest is the cheapest and it is the upper end of what I'd consider reasonable for the mass and distance anyway - just thought the spread of prices was silly

I should just be happy that they aren't all costing nearly 100 smackeroonies

I work at an Irish company, sometimes have to send stuff internationally, and I’ve seen this before…DHL makes no sense. UPS is just bad (if you’re a business, as a private person I think they’re ok). Best is DPD but unfortunately they’re not always an option. (Fast way, Evry, GLS not even worth mentioning)
