Hey pickyni, our distributor for the physical items is located in the US so shipping prices would be based on their location and international shipping costs from there.

Is there an explanation why the shipping is so high, it's excessively high. I get things shipped from the States all the time, and that shipping price is more than my last few orders combined.

I asks this as I've seen on reddit, even in our household, people just outright cancelling pack orders entirely over the price of that shipping. You offer a shirt, people want the shirt, not for that price though.
