A number of Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes Kickstarter backers have been met with unexpected shipping costs, which in some cases have nearly doubled the amount people will pay.
On the game’s Kickstarter page, supporters have called out developer Rabbit and Bear for its “ridiculous” shipping fees. “Mine’s $54 to Malaysia (PC Steam). I backed the game for $60…,” one supporter said, with another adding: “$14 for shipping a game, (Standard EU Shipping, not even sure there [is] any insurance fee in that), never saw a shipping price like this.”
Another questioned the developer’s choice to ship to Oceania from Germany rather than Japan. “Why would you quadruple the distance and prices for us? Since the very beginning you promised shipping would be from the nearest fulfilment centre, so why was all of Oceania (and many Asian countries, too) swapped away from shipping from Japan,” they wrote.
