With those cuts, it turns out we must compromise on the $5 flat price in the case of international orders. An extra buck or two for international orders should cover the extra costs.Daniel Solishttp://profiles.google.com/gobi81noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818073417709561773.post-86031391953890535482011-10-20T10:58:58.200-04:002011-10-20T10:58:58.200-04:00When calculating costs for a Kickstarter I include...When calculating costs for a Kickstarter I include the Kickstarter cut and Amazon cut in each cost before calculating everything else.

North American international orders still give us a hit when we take fees into account. Hrm. I may just have to settle on a clause in the first tier to add a dollar for international shipping.Daniel Solishttp://profiles.google.com/gobi81noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818073417709561773.post-45133639363064097402011-10-19T22:43:03.190-04:002011-10-19T22:43:03.190-04:00One factor that hit my kickstarter was how the ama...One factor that hit my kickstarter was how the amazon transaction fee 3% + $.30 cents effects lower priced levels. for a $5 pledge that's $.45 add in kick starter's flat 5% and your at $.70 total in fees. i guess 14% is not that big a deal but it can be if your lower priced levels have a very low margin.<br /><br />i like the pdf idea.Tyler Tinsleyhttp://twitter.com/TylerTinsleynoreply@blogger.com
