Magic Puzzle Company is based in the U.S., and right now that’s the only country where we have a warehouse.
Although international shipping costs are very high, some customers still want to order puzzles from us, and so we have decided to allow international purchasing with postage provided "at cost." That means when you go to check out, we use Shopify’s tools to look up the shipping rate with the carrier (e.g. DHL, FedEx), and we pass that exact cost along to you. We don’t make one dollar on shipping.
Even though international shipping is very expensive, we do not offer any discounts on shipping - the most we can do without losing money is provide this service for free without making any profit.
International shipping is calculated dynamically based on your shipping address and the size and weight of the items in your shopping cart, so we aren't able to "provide a quote" for international shipping. If you want to know how much it costs, you have to add the items you want into your cart and put your address in - then we can calculate the shipping cost for you.
International shipping gets very expensive because puzzles are often moving on multiple airplanes, boats, and trucks across long distances and go through complex customs and handling steps that add cost.
In the future, we would like to have warehouses all around the world so that we could provide cheaper shipping rates outside of the U.S. But right now our company is too small to have that amount of infrastructure.
If our shipping rates are too high, you can also try ordering on Amazon, which sometimes has a cheaper rate.
