TFCC club's shipping cost just shocked me

The Club is evil to anyone who doesn't live in the USA.

B@$T@RD$!!!

I even considered joining so that I could grab Dion and Punch/Counterpunch, but with the shipping costs for stuff, it probably would work out cheaper getting them off e(vil)bay!

I was going to join but then I read all the nonsense you have to go through if you don't have an American issued credit card.
Dammed if I'm sending them a photocopy of my CC and ID.
That practice has lead to ID fraud in the past (and as such was banned here, so I'm told. you would think it would be banned there too...).

Another option is sending them a money order in US funds which might be the best way to do things.
I'm assuming I can just get a money order from Australia post in US dollars and that would be fine.

Using a mail forwarder is most likely the best way to save on rediculous postal charges when dealing with TFCC.

I have wanted to join but was put off with such unfriendly policies towards foreigners - They are so ridiculous that its almost as if they are intentionally trying to discourgae non US memebers from joining.

I wasn't asked to send ID or other stuff, I just swiped my credit card.

The shipping address can be changed everytime I buy. The cost is recalculated every time.

I just haven't try bought anything yet. Maybe I will try next month. Too many transformers this month.

You don't happen to have a US issued CC do you?
If not maybe I'll try, you never know they might only care about the ID stuff if you bring attention to it...

I didn't pretend to be American. I pay the membership as International with AU credit card. I have a valid US mailing address at www.usa2me.com looks like this:

[My full name]
[My individual post box number] Hazelhurst Dr. #7377
Houston, TX 77043



So if I want to buy any US only stuff, I can let them send to this address and the usa2me will forward to me.

Theoretically this will be cheaper than discouraging TFCC shipping option.
