'We know you have been wanting non amazon rewards for UK and CA members. The issue we have run into is that its a lot more money to ship from the US to other countries. The only way we could offer this is if the price of the item (with shipping) was raised quite a bit-- Below is list of items and tentative totals with postage included- THE TOTAL is just that TOTAL amount of points for each item & postage.

ITEMS COST TOTAL

Paper Binoculars--------69------------(CA)172 (UK)193

Make Puzzle------------20------------ (CA)75 (UK)98

Rubber Jelly Bracelets----25-----------(CA)128 (UK)149

Mini Pixies--------------20-------------(CA)123 (UK) 144

Key chains---- ----------45-------------(CA)148 (UK)169

Prism stickers -----------15------------(CA) 75 (UK)98

FunDips -----------------20 ------------(CA)123 (UK) 144

Magnetic Note pad---------130-----------(CA)233 (UK)N/A

We would place these on the site; but we aren't sure if you would like to buy these items for such a price- Please let me know what you think.

UPDATE!--I realize these items are kind of cheesy but they have to be below 250 total points- there are a couple sweets on there :) ---If you can find items that are under 250 points total(item & Postage) that you think would be cool please let me know- they need to be able to be ordered in bulk check out oriental trading lmk if you find something you think would be ok.


UPDATE!--The emailed codes that are available for US cannot be bought til you have made a purchase and had mailed to home address-- so IF they were able to work it out someday you would still need to make a purchase- in that case maybe these wouldn't seem so bad to verify address????

If I was in the UK or CA I wouldn't pay that much. If the item's price could somehow be lowered or you add more interesting items then I would consider.

that is a good selection for starters but i dont think people in the uk would want to pay 6 times the value for some items and only 3 times for other items a flat fee would be better on small items so people would more than likely purchase to get there honour level up

i think the only way this will work and be at a half decent price is if you had someone in UK or CA that can manually ship the items, like you do for US.

This would be alright if hey were that low, because they would be good starting products. I looked at buying some to start me off but the postage was mega amounts
