Same as to the US actually.


I know I saw that but when you create an account and add your postal address it bumps up the shipping costs big time!


That's strange. I only paid the 6.50 Euro for shipping. The whole thing cost about $10.

E-mail evildragon about this. I think it's a bug in the shop.
He'd never charge such monstrous postage.

On a side note, my fruit y cdr has strange cloudy formations on the disc underside, I think its a dud.
However my dc needs laser recalibrating also.
I may have to wait till my dc is fixed to confirm that the disc is a dud.

Thanks, I'll contact them regarding the shipping issue and if and when I receive a copy I'll check the disc and upload an image to make sure mine isn't the same as yours

I've received a response:

Hi,

that's because it automatically defaults to UPS.
Don't worry though, on checkout, when you enter all your details, you
can also choose signed mail shipping (which is A LOT cheaper).

Looks like it's a known issue, when I know login to my account and click on the cart it shows a reduced postage method.

Least the issue has been resolved for me but this could scare away people from UK (or others outside of the U.K.) with the auto shipping set as UPS, so better not to create an account first and only fill out the details when purchasing.
