If you bought in bulk that means you bought more than one correct? And if you bought more than one that means you spent at least $60 correct? And if you spend $60 here on ExoMagic it means free shipping correct?

Free shipping excludes other countries... but International shipping is manually calculated. So you can't tell us our prices are too high when you haven't shipped with us yet

Generally when you order a deck of playing cards its 4 oz. Thats heavy.... But when your talking about small things like 1 clip, or supplies, shipping drops dramatically. It's when your shipping 6-24 decks that it becomes an expense.

I will clarify some things on the shipping page, and hopefully people will have a more clear insight on our prices and what we are trying to achieve.

Gotcha
I thought free shipping was free shipping.
I guess I need to do my home work, huh?

[Alex Hess]

Haha,

I wish I could do free shipping internationally, but it is just plain expensive to ship international. Anything under 1lb you are probably looking at 15-20 USD depending on the location in the world.

With the discounts currently being offered, it isn't realistic that free shipping internationally will ever be available. But ya never know

If we start getting some heavy heavy traffic on here you might be able to just give the stuff away for free, right?

I want to officially sign my name to the list for the #1 spot to get the items for free.

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.

Hmmm,

I still think something is missing here. Zini, did you find out how much shipping would be from Exo?
Where did you get your clips from? I just would hate for you to pass up the best deal around...

Alex quoted me international shipping prices from USD15-38. At the very least (USD15) the total cost of one card clip will exceed USD29.90, what I'm paying for from Aaron Smith, even if I buy them in bulk. And it's definitely not fair to persuade Alex to waive the shipping cost. Just not economically viable for me or Alex.

Is the exomagic clip released yet?
If not I'd really love It if I could contribute to the design.
