Why does it have to be priority mail? It would be nice to have a cheaper option.
Priority Mail allows them to use the Small Flat Rate box, which the USPS provides as part of the service. Would you rather pay for First Class postage that had a surcharge to include the cost of the box tacked on? It's going to be a wash either way. At least with Priority, you get fast shipping time and tracking.
I think I answered my own question. I guess I'll wait in the hope that they have US stores offer these. It just seems wasteful to spend $5.90 shipping on a $5 item.
You have to keep in perspective that if you were ordering a game with 6 dice, the retail price will be closer to $10.00 and the shipping will not seem too high compared to the cost of the item, but we are providing those dice at the lowest possible cost and it make the shipping looks bigger.
