...we'd been talking about microwaving foils and he said if he ever got another copy that card was a candidate.

What happens if you microwave a foil card?

Dude, I just hate USPS!!!

No, not really xD I just hate the shipping and stuff.

The other day I just decided to buy another ages end set, and since the only shop I know that has it is wholesalegaming.com, I decided to buy there. OK. Ages End: twenty dollars, good, almost cheap. Add to your shopping cart? Yeah.
Priority air mail, by USPS. It's not quite urgent, I can wait a bit. Then I called my dad to ask how good USPS was: "Yeah, it's quite good, if you mean fast". OK. But I'd never had ordered by USPS before, and since I live in Chile, the shipping cost was even more expensive than the product itself! like twenty-six dollars!

WTF??? Almost fifty dollars for one Ages end set!?

I called my brother, who has always used the service, to ask if the price was OK, or if there was some mistake. "No, not at all, it's even cheap for what it is"

WTF!!??? I just hate these guys xD

pardon the wtf's xD It's just that I couldn't believe it xD

Are you sure you'd get much cheaper with UPS or FedEx? Usually international rates are fairly high... though for a small box of cards $26 seems steep. I'd point the finger at the seller for padding the shipping.  [-X

I know wholesalegaming's shipping is so expensive, i usually wait until i can make one huge order before i do it, that way the shipping is relatively less

The shipping off wholesalegaming went up quite a few notches....sadly. Especially for a wraith collection, 6 cards, they charge 30 usd for shipping it to the Netherlands...hahaha. Ain't gonna happen! I emailed them, but they didn't respond.

Ah, the benefits of being an American. Unless your friend is trying to ship her prom dress in from a south pacific country. Fun times, fun times.
