Unless it’s a sop to their dealers, I think its crazy that they don't offer
free shipping as standard for larger purchases. I can buy Lego from
www.argos.co.uk and get free shipping if I spend over UKP100 [$154.70][1]. I
can get a next day service for UKP2.95 [$4.56]. Instead, TLC charges me UKP9.45
[$14.61] and UKP30 [$56.41] respectively – in %age terms that is crazy!

Why can't TLC cut out the middleman and do the same? Why? Because we are daft
enough to pay them?

I may be able to assist here...The LEGO company seems to work on the theory that if you don't live in the USA/Canada, then you don't really matter...try changing shipping country to one of these two in their site and see what pops up.
