We've got the Global Mail option on the EU webstore up and running, which will result in much cheaper shipping rates for a lot of customers on lighter (under 1kg or especially under 500g) shipments. For example, here are the savings in several different territories between the new shipping method and what was previously the cheapest shipping option if ordering In a Deadly Fashion (260 gram book):
Australia: 11,00€ difference (Global Mail 17,00€ vs Posti Priority Parcel 28,00€)
Canada: 21,00€ difference (Global Mail 15,00€ vs UPS Express Saver 36,00€)
Germany: 4,00€ difference (Global Mail 7,00€ vs Posti Parcel Connect 11,00€)
Japan: 23,00€ difference (Global Mail 15,00€ vs Posti EMS 38,00€)
Norway: 6,00€ difference (Global Mail 11,00€ vs UPS Standard 17,00€)
UK: 10,00€ difference (Global Mail 8,00€ vs UPS Standard 18,00€)
USA: 21,00€ difference (Global Mail 15,00€ vs UPS Express Saver 36,00€)
That's a huge savings when making a smaller order. Of course the calculations change the bigger the order (a 1700 gram order is more expensive to the US using Global Mail than UPS Express Saver), so you might have to fiddle a bit to get the optimum savings. And of course it'll be a bit slower than the existing shipping options (up to two weeks). And you're still responsible for any customs charges on your end.
We've added the weights of each title to the product descriptions in the webstore.
FYI weight/price Breakpoints for Global Mail are 300g, 800g, 1300g, and 1730g (max weight to use Global Mail). Breakpoints for UPS are 1850g, 4800g, and 9500g. Breakpoints for DHL Time Definite are 1350g, 2350g, 2850g, 3350g, 3850g, and 4350g, etc.
Of course we ship worldwide from the EU store.

And we have just seven Midvinter copies left in the ol' Finland warehouse. There are a couple dozen still sitting around in overseas warehouses for future conventions, but if you want to order online these are the last copies from us. Midvinter is one of the most unhinged and disturbing folk horror adventures ever in RPGs, all the more effective because it presents itself in good cheer and not as a nightmare. It is a masterpiece.
