Hi,
I just want to let you know....

When I heard here in the board that it is possible to order the Hard Rock Cafe Halloween chip from their homepage, I tried to order one.
I put a chip in "my cart" and went to the checkout. But than I noticed that the Hard Rock would like to have $14.00 for shipping one chip to Germany!!
$14.00 for one little chip!!!!
How will they send it? Will the chip be brought by a good looking Hard Rock girl? In this case I will pay $14.00
I asked the Hard Rock about their very high shipping fees. Here is my Mail:

Hello Hard Rock,

I´m a casino chip collector from Germany.
When I saw at your website that it is possible to order some chips I was realy happy.
But then I noticed your shipping fees for sending to Germnay.
For one chip you would like to have $14.00. That is a lot.
I bought and traded many chip from the USA in the last months. The airmail shipping fee for one chip is not more than $1.50.
Of cause you have some costs for the package too, but $14.00 is to much.
Perhaps you can think about some fair shipping prices. I would realy love to order from you.

Hope to hear from you.

Many greetings from Germany,

Realy a "great" answer, and the link is dead too.
I think it is impudent to take such a high shipping fee.
Of cause I didn´t order the chip.

Many greetings from Germany (the land you can only send to with high shipping fees)
