So EU-Delivery should be via FedEx, right?
I live in (an ordered to) Germany. Therefore I've chose the EU-Edition, of course. But the system only offered me UPS-Shipping for ~11€. I ordered it anyway and opened a support ticket. I hope CCP can fix this...

Well take the 11 € .. I took the EU version and FedEx is charging me more than 20€

Shipping & Handling (FedEx International Economy): 29,43

For sending it to Austria...

Thank you CCP! If your site had worked properly and the delivery cost was not akin to sending the book via suborbital flight, I would never had a chance to buy a copy! Lol

(There was 465 units remaining when I came back from work, and I had no isssue with the buy process beyond picking my jaw from the floor when I read that the "express" delivery costed more than the actual book...)

NEXT TIME STRESS TEST THE "thing" and try to place these events outside of fanfest, as your workforce is mainly appointed to maintaining it (I believe). The shipping is also too darn expensive 40€? Next time get a cheaper option.

It would have been nice if they were all signed but TBH it must suck having to sign your signature 1000 times let alone 2001 times.

Nearly everybody got signed as of now. Math is simple:

1) "That leaves 1591 books available to order."
2) "The lithos are signed if you are one of the lucky first 1000 who makes an order."
3) At the moment of my writing of this post, 564 copies are not sold yet.

This means that as of now, people ordered:
- 1000 signed copies
- 27 unsigned copies

Looks like some amount of copies will not be sold at all - i suspect that because of horrific service and idiotic shipping price for half of the world (170 Euro).

Right now i'm even glad that CCP prevented me from ordering limited edition and saved my money - i think i'll not buy it even if they will fix shipping price. Probably later i'll order hardcover from Amazon twice cheaper.

P.S. It will be especially funny if CCP will fail to sell even these 2000 "limited" edition copies Ugh

So the books reserved for CCP staff and for Dark Horse Comics as well as the ones sent to Australia are unsigned? Your math states that 591 books are unsigned... out of the entire 2001 editions printed. Why would they screw over 591 people? If we look at the fine print it states that the first 1000 sold feature the signatures. Aren't reserved books considered sold first? I hope I'm wrong though... :)

That would be nice, but I doubt it. As far as I know when limited edition Source was sold at here in Australia none of them were signed. Here's hoping!

But yes, this ends up costing less than half of just the postage costs coming from the official website! xD
