Double Edge, PM Kali and she will sort out a way better postage option, pending what it is you're interested in.
She has been more than helpful in my n00b inquiries thus far :)

Hello everyone!

I wanted to check in on this thread with a couple of updates. I have finally gotten my nearly 200 metal tins from my supplier, who I had not realized was closed the entire week of the 4th. Today, I have been extremely busy packaging/labeling orders, and also have changed my online postage vendor. Strop Shoppe can more easily ship internationally now! I have updated the StropShoppe.com page with 40 additional pucks starting at $5.00, so those who have missed out on the first two deals, or international customers who were waiting for more affordable postage can now purchase them.

International shipping is available in 3 flavors:
Express - Very fast delivery, around 5 days to most countries, expensive
Priority - Fast delivery, around 7-10 days, moderate priced, contact me first to ensure an accurate price. (The system does not know that I can fit 3 pucks in a flat rate box for $18ish)
First Class - Slower delivery, may be 14+ days, low price

I thank you all for your support, your feedback, and your business.
Kali

Excellent! Eagerly awaiting my soaps. The first set of samples I had bought from you, got lost during a house move.

Thanks Borked.
Still finding my way around this forum.
Order placed at a fraction of that initial shipping quote.

I ordered three pucks to try, Black Tie, Baker St, and Lemon Eucalypti flavors, I can't wait to try them out. My water is very hard and I have a hard time with just about any hard soap anymore.

Look at my join date (to the right of this message) ;)
Glad that I could be of assistance to a fellow Aussie and Kali.

The only good thing about high shippingcosts, is that you allways buys sommething extra.

My order showed up yesterday and I love the Black Tie soap. The scent is a little weak when smelling it off the soap, but lathers up nicely. I did a palm lather with it to test it out and man on man, it's good stuff. I caught myself sniffing my hand afterwards. If you are on the fence, buy it & try it out for yourself! This soap is great for a vegetable base.

Thank you for the feedback, and the reviews on other parts of the site.

There are 16 remaining pucks available here. Any unsold July special pucks will be removed August 1st, so if you would like to try some Strop Shoppe products at 40% off, you have just over 3 days left to order them.

Once again, thank you, and I look forward to reading more reviews.

Ok, so I picked up two more pucks after all, the bay Rum and Lime. My first order was for Baker St., Black Tie, and Lemon Eucalyptus. So far I've only tried the LE and Black Tie twice each. So far the soap creates a stable lather that is slick and cushioned on the face. I haven't had a chance to try it with a straight since that is my true indicator of slickness, it's not as slick or as moisturizing as a tallow soap, but performance is quite good for a vegetable based soap. I love all three fragrances, but the LE stands out strong, the other two are more subtle and not as strong. I would assume that is because the LE is made with essential oils and the other two are from frags.

So far my only complaint would be that I could never get a response to my emails sent when I had a question about my order. My order did arrive packed very well and secure. If I ever get through my collection of soaps I will probably order again.
