The Supersize Poster Set is probably what's driving your shipping cost up. Like the neoprene battle mats, it's a big item that requires a large box to ship.
I hope to have the Supersized poster removed from my pledge if that is true; I didn't back for expensive "free" posters.
Good news, the post you are quoting is completely false and the posters will have minimal effect on shipping price unless you bought an excessive number of pledge levels.

Do you apply for shipping assistance from the backer kit survey page or the Kickstarter page?
Who do you email?? Just want to make sure and try and see if any thing lowers. Thanks in advance
You are supposed to use Kickstarter's DM system, go to the Battletech Mercenaries page on Kickstarter, where it says "Created By" click on "Catalyst Games" then in the screen that comes up click on "Contact Me". Responses can take several days so be ready to wait.
It's not always about strict weight, but often about dimensional "weight." If a package doesn't fit a certain size, it gets expensive fast, and that's up to the shipping company (USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, whatever).
Definitely true, but you can put a lot of force packs in a box that's less than or equal to 165" length and girth combined with the longest side no more than 108".UPS only charges extra if it's bigger than that and there's no reason for them to be trying to put everything into 1 giant box for bigger orders.
They called me crazy…they called me insane…THEY CALLED ME LOONEY!! and boy, were they right.
I finally went and looked at my shipping charges and they are pretty hefty, but I also have a relatively large order. It may be right and proper.I wouldn’t mind a spot check from CGL but I don’t think they owe me a rebate.
