Media Rate!

Hey Mercs,
Thanks for your continuing support as we close in on another stretch goal.
A few people have pointed out that for just the book (Cadre) the shipping was high. You're right. In order to make it easier for us, I ascertained the cheapest 'one size fits all' option, and this was the flat rate medium box. This was the smallest box that could fit the largest game book we'd create and have room for chips, a shirt, and other bennies. I neglected to realize some people might only want the book, and media rate is perfect for that.
So, with this in mind, I've created "Cadre - Media Mail". By choosing this option, we've set the shipping cost at only $5.00 which covers the maximum cost for a book only (and purchasing suitable envelopes). You can still do add-ons, and I reduced the price of the book as an add-on as well with this in mind (in case I have to ship it separately).
If you already have regular cadre and want to switch, go right ahead. Don't forget to add back in any add-ons you had in mind. On a basic book only you'll save over $10. Those are mostly at a somewhat higher rate with the fact in mind that even adding a single dice removes it from eligibility for media mail, and yes, they do check sometimes. Please keep in mind we'll be shipping hundreds of books, and trying to slip them through with shirts, or poker chips at media rate won't be looked upon kindly by the benevolent gods of USPS.
Let me know if you have any questions, and sorry for that oversite.
