Questions about retrieving + shipping slabs

Hello! I’m a relatively new ArenaClub user based outside of the U.S., and I’d like to hear anyone’s experience regarding retrieval and shipping (both in and outside of the U.S): how are shipping charges like for you?

I have a friend based in Boston and am considering shipping it to them and getting it from them when they come back to my home country, as compared to shipping it directly to my country ( I came across an Australian review saying that they paid $300 for shipping and for only three cards).

So yeah would love to hear about anyone’s recent shipping / retrieval experiences!
