Did anybody else get ripped off by Shrapnel Games?

I just saw the credit statement for buying Space Empires IV, it cost me <b>$84.29</b>.

This is ridiculous!! A far cry from what was supposed to be $53.95.

If you read Shrapnel's shipping FAQ, it states that:

"There has been a great deal of confusion about International orders due to the current e-commerce server we are using (which we will phasing out over the next month or so). Here are the basic costs for ALL shipping and handling for International order:
Canada - 13.00 flat fee
Mexico - 13.00 flat fee
Europe - 19.00 flat fee
Rest of World - 19.00 flat fee

So take any game you are ordering from us. Add the ABOVE fee and that is the FINAL cost."

I live in Canada, do the math.

$39.95 plus $13.00 DOES NOT equal $84.29!!!!!

Now, Shrapnel just stole $30.00 from me and I want it back.

I suggest you check your credit statements just in case you got screwed too. I have e-mailed both MM and Shrapnel with this.

This is a good game, but not worth $84.29!
