Well, I just looked on the store to see if there were any discounts. I wanted a copy of the Board game and the art book.

Subtotal $10.98.

Shipping?

$93.

Sod that. Why on Earth is shipping from the store to the UK so damn expensive?

All I want for Christmas is official Amarr robes to lounge around in.

I can get a dressing gown and spray paint the Amarr symbol on it.

Will only cost you £15

They call it the Snuggie.
They don't come in black though.

Why did they pick the Christma peroid of all times to close down! "The Art work of Eve Online" $0.99? Is that a typo or they on super sale mode? because I remember paying lot more for that book on amazon way back when. Although I have noticed on Amazon currently the only copies of that book, are selling at over £100-£180(new) £50+ (used)! the con merchants! On a really obscure note, I also found that 2 of the 3 sponsored links, to do with the page were illegal isk selling sites! (on Amazon)

Anyways yea some of the apparel looks alot cheaper now too (from memory), but someone previously said the shipping to the UK is insane? I havn't gone that far with any orders, but why is it so high?

Last time I checked it was close to 100$ US to ship to Europe. Thats way too much. Especially if you order a shirt for 5$ or a nice ship model for 40$. I really would like to get one of those but double the price for shipment is not in the Christmas budget.

So the only wish for the eve store is to get a distributor in Europe to lower shipping cost. (Or is the calculation simply broken?)

This has also put me off from using the store, there are a few things that I would like a couple of the models would look nice dotted around my computer room, but crazy shipping costs means its not an option Sad

Start wide, expand further, and never look back
