I can see your logic there. But this isn't really about discounts, as it may seem. The prices quoted for U.S. shipping, basically mean that I'm not charging for shipping within the U.S.
Where this may not seem fair to our over seas members, it really only means shipping can be more than double that of U.S. fees, AND there can be such a DRASTIC difference from country to country, that it would seriously complicate matters.
If this were about discounts, the only thing I can really say about that, is technically, our over seas members are getting more of a discount than our U.S. members - Pay-Pal fees. Please remember that I haven't added any additional to these prices, I am absorbing all Pay-Pal transaction fees. Case in point? I get charged more for international Pay-Pal transactions. It sort of all comes out in the wash, if you get my drift
As far as discounting international orders in the amount of what I would have charged for U.S. orders, you need to consider that even U.S. shipping isn't a flat fee from state to state, or zip code to zip code. What could cost $10.00 to ship to anytown Southern California from where I am, could cost $19.00 to ship to anytown North Dakota for the same exact thing. There would be no way to offer a discount that is fair, to both of us. I'm absorbing overages in these cases. The whole point of any of this, was to streamline things on my end, so that I wouldn't have to look up individual zip codes and give 10 different prices to 10 different individuals for shipping.
Please understand, this is not punishment for not living in the U.S. I just felt it only fair that it be the responsibility of the individual to cover international costs where applicable, because these costs do vary, across the board. I'm very sorry if you feel this is unfair. It's really the best I can do. But if you would like to be removed from the list, I completely understand.
Thanks to everyone that has sent payment. The rest of the payments can either be made now, or when the armor is boxed and ready. We’re probably talking a week or so. If you are an international member, please note your country of origin for a total.

Hi Fp.. question: is the price shipped within the USA is $255, and the shippings to FON (for example) is $41.35... wouldnt be logical to disccount the shippings within the USA to the internation shippings ???
I ask you this because I'm in the same situation. I'm in Mallorca, Spain.
