Thank you for writing to us at Amazon.com.
I apologize for any misunderstanding regarding our shipping costs.
Generally speaking, we charge a single flat fee for each shipment, plus additional, smaller fees for each item in that shipment. Here is the equation we use to calculate the total shipping cost:
(Highest Applicable Per Shipment Cost) + (Number of Items or Pounds x Per Item Cost) = Total Shipping Fee
Therefore, for the item you're asking about, the shipping fees for Standard International shipping are:
(Per Shipment fee ($4.49)) + (Number of Items x $4.49)
For example, if you want to order 10 copies of book or ten book in a single order then your shipping fee would be:
For Standard International Shipping:
$4.49 + 10 x $4.49 = $49.39
For Expedited International Shipping
$7.49 + 10 x $5.49 = $62.39
For Priority International Courier
$29.99 + 10 x $5.99 = $89.89
Also, please note that the shipping rates for many items we sell are weight-based. The weight of an item can be found on its product information page. To reflect the policies of the shipping companies we use, all weights will be rounded up to the next full pound.
I hope this information has been helpful. You'll find our complete shipping policies, including costs, by clicking on the "Help" link at the top right of our home page, or by going to the following URL:
