Warehouse Sale's & International Shipping
Hi Code 3 , I was wanting 2 ask 2 questions, can I do that , I guess I just did.
Q1/ I am a member of another forum and often hear about the C3 warehouse sale's via that site , as a paying club member of C3 is it not possible to be notified of this by C3 when it happens? Some times I miss out as things sell out before I get there.
Q2/ The good old shipping costs, this has been asked and sort of answered with a promise of follow ups, I understand its not an easily answered question BUT what is the end result, if the shipping costs states $39.95 when placing the order will it indeed be $39.95 , this IS limiting my enthusiasm to purchase direct and from being a serial purchaser over the last few years to basically nothing is disappointing to me and no doubt your sales as others outside the USA do the same, can some thing not be done?
Thanks Matt

I answered in a private message, but I'll also post an answer here.
We continue to discuss international shipping and ways to "fix" it, but I'm sorry, there is no real answer yet.
I will make it point to mention any additions to sale items in the weekly newsletter.

Per Ken's note we will be sure to include any specials in the e-mail sent each week and thanks for bringing to to our attention.
Regarding the International shipping issue we have approached a solution from many angles. One of the best will be the developing of Dealers in various locations. Bulk shipping to one location will help to lower shipping costs. Then we csn direct members to order thru these Dealers whereby shipping will be less to yiou as a customer in the local area. Work needs to be done yet but we are getting closer.
the bottom line on the cost of the shipoping is that it is the real cost of shipping. As an example Ken tells me he shipped to CDs to a friend in Scotland recently and the cost was $20.00. I bought an item from the UK on Ebay...paid $18.00 for the item and $46.00 for the freight! We are not ignoring the issue we are working on it.
