Just catching up on these posts and it sounds like the international shipping costs were a deterrent for many of you which is unfortunate. I'm not sure how MassDrop is calculating the international costs - my guess is that it's USPS Priority Mail which is usually in the $20-$25 range for a package this size. Keep in mind, the backpack is ultralight but it needs packaging to ship which brings the total weight up to about 6-7oz.
The only method that I'm aware of that would be any cheaper is First Class International, which is still ~$10-15 depending on where it's going to. The trade-off is that First Class comes with no tracking and no estimated delivery date - I've seen it take anywhere from 2 weeks up to 8 weeks. If you're okay with that as an option let the MassDrop team know (here I'm guessing) and maybe we can get that added in as a shipping option in the future. Ultimately it's not up to us so all I can do is speculate and try to be helpful here. :)
We do offer First Class as a shipping option on our website so keep that in mind if you're still interested in the product (we occasionally have deals on our site as well so join our mailing list to get informed). Thanks to everyone who took part in the latest drop and sorry for the shipping frustrations - if you have any other questions I can help with just let me know!
