Square Enix Store US for Latin-American players

[WhiteArchmage]

Hmm, honestly, I get you...

My country added a new tax to online purchases, which means my sub is technically more expensive than before, and anything I buy off the PSN/Mog Station/Steam is subject to that. Now, where it gets worse is shipping.

Now, I was looking at getting the Lore Books, but they add a 40 USD extra for shipping, and in no place in the store did I find WHO they ship with. If it was one of the private companies, I wouldn't mind that much, but if they ship using Correos de México (because they DID Mention using USPS, and USPS would most likely hand it over to Correos de México) that means I would never see the package. CoM is INFAMOUS for "losing" or downright stealing packages. So I won't give them 80+ USD just for a chance to get the Lore Books.

SE should just put some offices in LatAm, it's a very large market as it is...

Pre-covid they used USPS for the deliveries (and Correios do Brasil, in my case - we usually don’t have many troubles with it - I’ve never had), in the beginning of the covid situation they used DHL for my parcel.

Fortunately, books are tax-free here, so is easier to buy them internationally or use Amazon.

And I agree, Latin-America is simply forgotten as a potential market for games and merch…
