Title: International Box Shipping
Post by: Erik_the_gray on March 20, 2014, 07:33:11 PM
So I know there was a thread where people were talking about overpriced boxes in other countries (not US). There was also mention of rules prohibiting shipping to those countries in certain situations. Is this a WotC rule, or business law? Because couldn't a person technically buy a box for 90$ and then ship it to a friend in Australia and that Australian just happen to give the other person ~100-115$ as a gift right around the same time?

I got recently ducked by international shipping on eBay

Guy only paid standard and not tracking. Tracking internationally starts at $46

So be wary of international sending with tracking

It gets expensive

It's a wotc rule. They don't want boosters from the US shipped overseas.

I think it's wotc rule for distributors..

Next time I buy a booster box ill weight it and check out some shipping prices.
