No one is being senseless about shipping here. We are just being economic and conscientious buyers. How is it such a bad thing to want a good deal? The most I've ever had to pay for shipping on one dvd, from an independent source is four dollars (not counting the only other place I've bought pirate anime from - maybe it's a pirate thing).
Flat shipping rate may be a good idea if you order more than a few dvds, but I would be very surprised indeed if the average buyer here ordered anywhere remotely close to 100, Mathew Malay. The only way this is a deal is if you do buy about three or four dvds at one time. And the only way that is a deal is if you're buying it from an independent dealer like this one. Even from sellers who market their product on used stores like eBay and Amazon, one generally only pays a few bucks for shipping. Actually, the Inuyasha Perfect Collection Vol. 2 which some of us were discussing in another thread, was listed on eBay with free shipping. (Of course, this seller also charged $10 more than I'm expecting it to sell here, but regardless.)
As for seeing if I can find a better deal elsewhere, Matthew Malay, I thought my last post resolved that point. There are no better deals on pirate anime that I know of. If you can find me a better deal, be my guest. Until then I am sticking with Import-Anime. But there's no law against trying to find a good deal, or comparing costs and shipping.

Let's be rid of it, once and for all! I can't carry it for you, Mister Frodo, but I can carry you!
