Building a Better World in Your Backyard Instead of Being Angry at Bad Guys
Gudday, Paul.
If in the email by "I am hoping that one or two plotskateers outside the US can try it out and let me know if this thing works okay" you mean if as a person outside of the US I can get to the page then it's working OK - I'm in Australia.

I arrived here fine (Canadian too) but I'm pretty sure Paul is wanting someone to purchase the bundle to see if the payment thing works for foreign countries. I already own both and I'm saving my dollars for the next kickstarter.
Also, the description of the book looks like it has a typo on the authors.
"1 physical copy of "Building a Better World in Your Backyard Instead of Being Angry at Bad Guys" by Mike Haasle and Paul Wheaton"
I have several copies and they all say Shawn, not Mike.
Derp, ignore my previous post, I didn't click on the international shipping link, I don't want to spend another $20 for shipping of a book I already own, so I won't be trying the correct link, sorry!
Australia Post is snowed under so deliveries are so far behind is is unbelievable. COVID putting drivers off the road and running out of Ad Blue has crippled the trucking industry so there are thousands of tons just sitting waiting. I will speak to my go to guy to see what is the go.
The GST rules in Australia have changed since 2018. Permies.com will need to be registered for GST to sell to Aussies as far as I can work out. https://www.ato.gov.au/Business/International-tax-for-business/Non-resident-businesses-and-GST/ For low value items, less than AU$1,000 (US$ 714), the merchant collects the GST. For higher value products, the GST is collected at the border. To ensure that all is right with the Australian government world, the Australian purchasers should be paying 110% of list price, excluding postage for products under $1,000 and we pay import duty at point of collection for all items of high value.
Will let you know about the Australia Post stuff.

As promised, I have checked the Australian Postal Service. USPS has halted all shipments to Australia because of a backlog within Australia Post.
A number of freight and forwarding agents are also experiencing the same problem. There are three issues:
>COVID - 19 keeping drivers away from work,
>Adblue shipping delays from China and apparently Australia does not manufacture its own, and
>an unprecedented number of parcels needing to be delivered due to online shopping.
To compound all that ships and bond stores (awaiting customs clearance) cannot be cleared again due to lack of workers and vehicles.
I have just had a landrace seed order cancelled because USPS would not accept the consignment.
In a nut shell, the mail system is like a bloke with constipation - backed right up 💩😖

Thank you
No, just paypal. We enable guest checkout on our end, but paypal has been known to eliminate that option for some users in some scenarios. You can try different browsers/devices/locations, and sometimes find the magic formula that gives you the guest checkout option.
