Why does the offical SE store GOUGE on prices and shipping so much???

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

Do you really think Square is sending over only one CD or product at a time to their NA Store?

I'm not talking about SE, I'm talking about people ordering stuff from overseas. Most Americans won't see customs fees for such low purchases.


Of course businesses will pass those costs on to the customers.

Plus, for shipping, the SE store is likely too low a volume to get any real discounts from shipping companies. Hence the prices.


Lego can ship me a 30lb set at no cost to me, but I ship a 22lb computer to a friend and it was $90.


Its all economies of scale and capitalism.
