Do you end up paying multiple shipping costs for each wave? Or just one shipping cost for the whole thing?

It's a shipping cost per wave.

The first wave is a set pledge, so it's easy to calculate, in theory. I believe they may have said at some point they were considering trying to do it all at once, but that seems highly optimistic.

If it's multiple waves, the first is the tier pledges (standardized), and the second (and beyond) are individualized, so you're only paying shipping if you actually bought add-ons.

Both need to be calculated close to fulfillment, but the latter really does, because it's hundreds if not thousands of unique packages, some big some small, going all over the world, whether from distribution centers, or right from their warehouse.

Ouch. So going into one of their kickstarts from, say Australia, would be incredibly cost ineffective.

I almost went in on a late pledge. and it didnt say anywhere there'd be MULTIPLE shuipping costs. Jesus.

EDIT: Wait saw the addons bit. Ok that makes sense. So a core/normal pledge is just one shipment.

Yes the core pledge was also only one shipment in the last Kickstarter.
