Hi Sergey, Marcin, Zsolt, all, Just had a thought regards your high shipping prices quoted. Did you change the currency to your local currency before ordering? I noticed that in your screenshot you posted Sergey that it was in US dollars. On the Blurb website you can change the currency and I guess that is how the shipping is worked out in combination with your address. Try it and see if it makes a difference?
