Please stop making being Australian a punishment

Please start stocking the books and CD releases in the Australian SE store. Having to go through round about means to buy a CD or buy a lore book and have to buy then at more than double the regular price plus the shipping cost isn't good enough.

Not only that but I cannot purchase a physical release of any collectors editions. Please, I am begging you, stop punishing me for living in my country. I'm sick of missing out but I'm not spending $180 AUD on a book either.

Couldn't find a more relevant spot to put this one so I popped it here.

I think the true culprit is the Australian government and the huge import tarrifs and shipping costs that the Commonwealth levies on imports into the country - the games on the 'AU' SE store are entirelly digital download only (they sell no physical copies), hence the only thing SE has to pay the Australian government is a small amount of GST on each purchase. I know, it sucks (I'm Australian too), but there are online stores that do ship to Australia that sell FFXIV merchandise, but the cost of shipping can be still high.

Sadly this is a problem I don't see being fixed any time soon. ; ;

We can only dream, for this and for OCE servers.

Yeah playasia and the sort ending up costing us a hell of a lot more than it should just to get our hands on merchandise. It's just very exhausting... I never even got a chance to get a collectors edition for anything.
