In terms of shipping I think companies should spell out what they mean by local shipping rates. The problem is most people assume that means it is the same as going to you local post office, DHL site and shipping it.

That is not what it means at all. They are working with a local shipping company who have to take the stuff from the ship, load it into the warehouse, often re-package it, sort out the admin on the address, deal with any returns, replacement items. You also have factor into that insurance in the shipping costs based on value.

What they mean by local shipping costs is just you are not paying international shipping costs. IE they dont have a hub in the USA which they are sending items out to Europe.

Companies should be clear in the kickstarter what those shipping costs are because as a lot of people in this thread are doing is assuming the price is what you pay to send 1 single item locally that is not how it works.
