As from 1st July 2020, global shipping costs for orders being sent to the USA increased quite substantially (in some cases by more than 30%). Whilst I understand the reasons for this increase (mostly down to China taking advantages of cheap postage options), the increases are far too much for a tiny business like CQB Publications to ignore. It is with great reluctance I have had to increase my shipping costs to cover my own increased costs. Apologies to all those of you in the USA, but the fault of this lies with a pricing system exploited by a wealthy nation being able to claim advantages of a developing one.
