HoP's shipping options are extremely easy to find on their website and international rates have not changed in quite some time. It is 30% of the order value with a $20 shipping minimum and has been for at least eight months or more. They use Global Priority or FedEx International Priority so I don't know what the comment about USPS not increasing rates has to do with anything. HoP doesn't even use USPS for shipping within the US. It is beyond realistic for any company to notify it's entire customer list anytime their shipping rates increase, imho, and clearly HoP's rates did not increase anyway.
