More international shipping options

Hi,

I was looking to buy a couple NES connectors and NES pads for a grand total of $13.96, but when going to checkout the cheapest shipment option to France was USPS Priority Mail International for $39.90. It is very hard for me to justify paying in shipment almost three times the price of the actual items. I've taken a look at the USPS website and it seems like their First-Class Mail International service would only cost about $10 for expedition to Europe.

Could you consider allowing this cheaper shipment as an option ? I'm certain that a lot of potential international buyers are in my situation, wanting to purchase but put off by the shipment price at the final checkout step. I'd gladly be willing to trade a longer delivery time for a better price.

    I took a look at the "Policies & Ordering Information" page, and it says that the First-Class Mail International options should be available. Are there any specific conditions to meet to enable this option ? I tried to order a single Propeller chip but the options was not available either.

    The 1st class international shipping is not currently working on our site. You are welcome to put in the comments section of your order "SHIP 1ST CLASS MAIL" and our sales group will make it happen. Most orders ship for $10-$15. Please understand we can not insure these packages, so it is at your own risk.

    Please e-mail sales@parallax.com with any questions.

    Thanks,
