Here is my message I gave to the guys on our Steel Panthers Fan site (if you havent seen it yet why not?) It's in regards to my current experiment vis a vis, conquering the how-do-I-get-a-Mega Campaign cd-without-it-costing-a-fortune-overseas solution. I have been trying a think out of the box solution. Latest Update

Just got a message from Margaret (she lives in Texas, maybe that helps who knows), she has the game, hmmmm thats less than a week guys. She worked for UPS for a number of years as well, and she cant figure out the negativity, but hmmm guess it might not matter much to me at this rate.

Bottom line, Lost Victories, Matrix to Margaret in less than a week, and she hasnt a clue what Steel Panthers even is. If a woman that only knowns the name of an item can order it with no prior knowledge, then I am getting a dim view of my forum mates capabilities heheh.

Havent established what it has cost her to get it yet plus cost to mail it to me in my lame Canadian dollars yet (she didnt have the facts and figures handy when I chatted with her). Will have to post them when I have those numbers.

Stay tuned Fans. I might be onto something here guys.

Ok guess I might have waited for the info and posted in one message, didnt though, oh well.

Here's the math guys
Lost Victories $24.99
shipping /handling $8.53 (it went to Texas)
tax $0.00 (that has me wondering, but its her numbers)
total $33.52

Now if I add about 2 bucks (which is what a canadian expects it to cost to mail a cd in a bubble envelope), then that means $36.00 US (which is god only knows what in my lame canadian dollars). But there wont be any wacky hidden costs, no surprises, no entering Canada costs nothing.

This settles the matter, case closed (Margaret is mailing the cd before I even get the cash to her in fact); anyone living outside of the US has a choice, complain and pay an irrational sum, or have a friend buy it and mail it to you. And you just reimburse them what it cost them plus 2 bucks. I am sending her a nice music cd full of my favourite MP3 tunes burned to a disc along with a money order (that thank god costs no more than a lousy buck). Man I feeeeeel good (but then I know how to make friends, maybe I am unique heheh).

Congratulations! Sometimes good tactical decisions are made by "thinking outside the box!"

Hmmm I thought this thread might have attracted more attention. Or at least I thought the subject had a respectably grabbing sound to it, and I want as many foreign fans to see this as possible too.
But then again, its been only one evening since I put it up. Although being pushed this far down the list, there is obviously people out there in here.
