I've always thought of shipping costs like I do taxes. They only go in one direction: up.

$30, so exactly half of what Storm would be.

Shipping for Storm is $57.60 for me. Shipping for Power Girl was $30.08.
So yeah ...double the shipping this time.

Shipping costs will never go back down. However, more affordable (slower options) may become available in the future. Years ago I used to work for UPS and shipping prices generally increased 3-7% each year. That was normal.
The more rapid increases we're seeing are unavoidable and largely due to inflation and gas prices. The rate at which they're increasing will eventually go back to normal and stabilize but it will never go down unfortunately.

Where do you live, AC? I know NearMint is Cali so it makes sense shipping is a shade cheaper than East Coast.

I live in Southern California ...just like SDguy and Nearmint.
I actually saw Nearmint at SDCC once. LOL. He was busy filming the Sideshow booth, so I didn't bother him.

You Cali peeps getting "cheap" shipping. Normally I would joke it would be cheaper to drive and pick it up, but now I'm not sure that is even true Its fascinating it's only $30 cheaper to get it across the country, while your shipping still doubled.
Tempest - I love your location! Despite you being stuck in the worst state ever, at least you have Kings Island and can get up to Cedar Point. The only times this Michigander found joy in crossing the border

Man, I'd kill for sub $100 shipping lol.
Always so much more for me + duty/taxes. Easily adds about $300 total to anything I buy
