Actually the fedex is not about speed but tracking and reliability. We found Post and UPS to be lacking in both areas. We lost a LOT of money on our older games from re-shipping lost games.

To be truely honest, I find shipping a game with expensive services like Federal Express an overkill and a waste of money. I never have an urgent need for a game and regular air mail or even surface post is perfectly fine at a greatly reduced cost.

I agree with 100%

I would like to see some different options.

bulk mail 4th class etc....


30 CDN dollars for shipping was a little to expensive, paid it anyway.

How about registered air/surface mail? Will that be any cheaper?

Guys I would recommened that you order the game via Chips and Bits then since they have those options. With us we just lost way too many packages to do it that way, it just doesn't make sense.

BTW our fedex prices are far below market due to our shipping volume.
