Since covid shipping has gone nuts and some companies are taking the piss.

I wanted to order the ‘upgrade kit’ for Mythic Battles Pantheon. That was around £15 I think. The postage was more than double that. Fortunately I had only backed at the $1 level because that was all I wanted… so I stuck with my $1 donation to the ‘never going to back anything by Monolith again’ fund.

Even when they use a UK hub, companies seem to be charging far too much. It’s made worse by the fact that most online retailers charge nothing for delivery if you order when the game hits stores and often do a 10-20% discount. You don’t get the ‘kickstarter exclusives’ (which are often just more plastic…), but you can save a lot of money.
