Unless you're getting a CD or hint book, shipping isn't required, so I'm not sure what you mean. Unless you're talking about this.

What did you buy? BoE? Nethergate? If so, you're getting a CD shipped to you whether you like it or not.

Even in that case, if you email Jeff Vogel directly (spidweb at spiderwebsoftware dot com) you might be able to work something out with him whereby you just download the full version rather than getting anything shipped to you.

if you don't buy anything that requires shipping (i.e. BoE, Nethergate, or a trilogy CD), you aren't charged for shipping and handling. Period. It looks like you may be, but you aren't.

—Alorael, who has never quite understood why handling has to be considered a separate cost. Is there any way to ship without handling?

If a package is only ever touched with a ten-foot pole by the delivery employees, that might not count as "handling".

I wonder whether they offer handling without shipping, though.

I'd want some verification of handling. How do I know that the contents that were not shipped were properly handled if I myself never get to observe them? Perhaps video footage would be required.

—Alorael, who almost talked about package handling. Then he realized that TM has been at his finest lately and doesn't need any more fuel for his fires. Yes, that is a possible innuendo.

the extent of the "delivery" was an email with my registration code. That doesn't qualify for shipping and handling charge since its free and i don't think you can touch data.

If you were charged for shipping and handling, email Jeff. You shouldn't be unless an object was shipped and handled.

—Alorael, who would also make sure you didn't order a CD by accident.

In the spirit of innuendos, I just saw this thread directly beneath the one titled "We never stop stripping."

When I skimmed the list, I read this as "Stripping and Handling". o_O

I've always received a snail mail letter, too. Maybe that's only for international orders?

I've also always received a snail mail letter, I assume for some reason related to the legal categorization of the transaction.
