To make it clear:
1. if you order a book from the online store it does not involve international shipping. Books are printed in your region -that's how print on demand works.
2. The price of the book should be shown in your own currency.
3. Obviously your local postal rates apply and there are options for tracked, special delivery and untracked (the least expensive) postage from within your region.
Ordered in your region, printed in your region and delivered by the postal system in your region. It could not be more simple.
One important thing to note is that third party sellers will state "post free" and that is a lie. You often pay 30-75% more on a book ordered through a third party seller than from the online store. The reason is because the third party seller HAS to buy from the online store and the selling price usually covers two postal payments -0from store to them and then to you.
People have purchased from third party sellers and not gotten their books or have had to wait over a month for them to arrive. At that point they contact me and it is all very simple: they tried to rob me of a sale and bought a book at a far more expensive price because they read "post free". That is important because if you buy from a third party seller you are removing the small profit I make on a book. Also, ordering from the online store is not just cheaper but, even though it has never happened since I started selling in 2009, I can actually look into why you have not had your book delivered. Third party seller -your tough luck.
Support the creator and publisher not third party scammers.
