Fingers crossed @sundancer good news from @lonkelo.

I’d also like to know what those claims are based upon @calador2, I’m not really seeing how people are being ripped off, yes the shipping might be higher than expected but CLG seem to have gone out of their way to minimise costs where they can, sure theres cases where it is still a bit excessive such as sundancer, who’s research says it should be closer to 10 euro. Saying backers have been “conned” is a bit unfounded, if you backed and don’t understand that kickstarters are a potentially high risk pledge of support with many unknowns and potential changes then its probably not the right platform for you, “local” shipping was never promised just expected and as I’ve previously said it is naive to expect it to be the same as a retailer. This is also in no way in the same arena of Mythic.

What what is the actually shipping charge @tankkommander or if you not comfortable revealing that what percentage of your pledge value are your shipping fees ? I don’t remember seeing it in this thread, and it might give some useful context? Mines $45 or roughly 14% of the pledge value, its also roughly in line with what I would expect for “local” courier shipping for the size of package I am expecting.
