shrapnel in Australia

Hi,
I have exhausted all enquiries locally, I would like to buy Space Empires IV Gold, but no one has it.
The cost to ship internationally is $65.44 US, the game is only $40 US.
Could you point me in the right direction for a local distributor please?

Go to our e-store, it will let you check shipping. I think you can ship for as little as $13-$14 through us. The game is only available over the internet, and we have been looking for Australian resellers, but to no avail.

Thanks for the clarification.
Does this include the full game manual, and not just a jewel case with CD?
That is very important. Due to our Australian dollar being worth slightly more than a grain of sand, this is a *very* expensive exercise.
If you are really serious about an Australian distributor, I know friends and can make enquiries. The only real national retailer for computer games is Harvey Norman. Like any near monopoly, they behave in an autocratic fashion, but they can be dealt with.
Please let me know if you wish further information about distribution.

Thanks,
Glenn

The game should come with manual and CD. (It did when I got it)
Ask a friend in the states to hook you up and they can use cheapo shipping for you, if you want. (Dunno how that would work really)
