International shipping estimates (and "Kali Ghati" unlocked!)

Since the beginning of this project we've struggled with how to discuss international shipping and handling costs.
We have been reluctant to give hard numbers because international shipping rates go up frequently. We have been hit hard many times in the past when the amount we had to pay for shipping and handling wound up being thousands of dollars more than we had collected from customers or backers.
Nevertheless, we've been working nonstop on getting the best possible estimates for international deliveries.
And here they are!
(I hope they're legible. Kickstarter's compression software plays havoc with text.)
This includes an arrangement with our friends at Editions Sans Detour in France for deliveries to Europe. Most others are through the U.S. Postal Service. We are still talking to people, particularly about U.K. deliveries. If we manage to make arrangements to reduce these estimates further, we will update backers and post the new rates on the project's homepage.
Kali Ghati
We hit $165K, and that unlocks the new playtest draft of the scenario "Kali Ghati" for all backers! We'll send a download link shortly.
Thank you for supporting Delta Green!

Order the Case Officer's Handbook, download the Agent's Handbook free
This is a new development to help out all our gamers. If you upgrade to the Case Officer's Handbook in PDF or hardback, we will send you the Agent's Handbook in PDF at no further cost.
