RE: [SG2] Am I crazy?

I'm wondering if you costed the overseas shipping at Airmail or Surface?
Purchasing stock from other companys in UK or USA from here in Oz i find
that teh cost is pretty much the same if i use Airmail delivery. Airmail
generally takes about 5 to 7 days door to door. Surface mail whilst
considerably cheaper takes about 6 to 8 WEEKS!
 
Anyway, Nic from Eureka Miniatures is 50 minutes drive away so for GZG
stuff
I never have to mail order anyway....
 
Cheers,

Subject: [SG2] Am I crazy?

Well, I really need to get the Stargrunt 2 rules, so I started looking
for a
good place to purchase it on line, I've been borrowing a friends, and
I've
played some really great games, but he took it back and I need to game.
Anyway, I called around to my local game stores, one would have ordered
it
for me, and the other normally kept it in stock, but was having supply
problems, so to the net I went. I tried the mage first, but they wanted
so
much for shipping it was absurd unless I was going to buy a large order,
so
I tried the only two other places I could find, the GZG site, and the
Geohex
site. Here's my conundrum, I took the prices from the Geohex site, and
added
shipping, then I took the prices from the GZG site, added over seas
shipping, and converted it to US currency. I was pricing the starter
pack
from GZG, and a comparable number of miniatures and the rulebook from
Geohex. Here's how they worked out.
 
GZG starter kit with rulebook and two starter forces(about 16 minis
each)
with overseas shipping - $58.90
 
Geohex rulebook plus 30 miniatures(10 blisters of 3) and continental US
shipping - $87.21
