Hi all
I'm looking to get a GoPro, but was a bit surprised. I am currently living in Japan, and the GoPro site wants a ridiculous $104.97 for shipping.
I have order several larger and heavier electronics from the States before via EMS tracked/insured courier for a fraction of the price (between $25-45), within 5 days.

Looks like you can get it for $207 in the states:

And $385 here in Japan:

Any info on a place with reasonable shipping?

Thanks

Do you have the option to use Amazon Prime? Looks like the camera you linked has that option. I have Prime and can get stuff overnighted for $3.99 and free 2-day shipping. Might be worth it for you to sign up for it. I find it useful several times during a year, especially X-mas time.

I think they will block me from ordering from Amazon(USA), tried on the US web site, as they have an Amazon Japan branch that jacks the base price to $385 and says "free shipping".
Ordering it direct from GoPro is actualy $20 cheaper, even with the outrageous $105 shipping for a $25 parcel via EMS.
