Yeap, a few of us bought 3 card clips among other items which qualifies us for free shipping internationally. We're effectively paying USD29.90 for one Porper clip. I can't afford to do manual calculation with international shipping since I need to estimate quite precisely the cost of my purchase for budget purposes before committing to a purchase. So for us international buyers, we tend to develope a knack for hunting down the best prices for magic products internationally. There are vendors who charge shipping cost differently at an international level. Some charge by manual weight calculation, some charge by flat rate for a set number of decks of cards, some provide free shipping after a certain amount of purchase, and some even charge by volume. All these depends on how urgently we need the product of course.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that Alex is charging too much. I think it's a perfectly reasonable price given his circumstances. I know of vendors who are charging way, way much more! I'm just telling from the point of view of an international buyer so you know what we tend to consider before making a purchase.
