I don’t mind shipping at all but when it comes to shipping a game out of the US it has become almost unbearable.
There is just way too much paperwork and some countries even want the wood you use to crate heat treaded and certified.
Add to that nine times out of ten the recipients want you to falsify documents saying a $8000 game is $800 and it just becomes easier not to deal with it at all.
So if the concern is why most sellers don’t want to ship out of the US that probably covers some of it.
Wish it were not like that seemed much easier 15 or 20 years ago.
