I was going to pick up Tabi Card's "Scribbles", and I wanted the physical book, not just the ebook version. I have ... certain logistical requirements when it comes to short stories. That's when I discovered the cost of shipping to Canada. It's kind of alarming, especially to a miserly old skinflint like me.
Is there a way to bring the cost down? Would it be cheaper to ship all Canadian orders together, to a central location, from which they can then be distributed? Can I request that my purchases be put on hold until I have a sufficient number of them, so as to ship them all together instead of one by one?
That's something you'll have to ask Inkshares directly. Here we're basically just a bunch of writers who met through Inkshares, but we're not truly a part of or employed by the company itself. So yeah, no clue as far as what the answer will be.
