They're just fucking assholes, and until they give a legit reason for this kind of shit - that's how I and everyone else who collects in Europe will think of them.

Speakng as someone who is actually from America I can say they are pretty different. To ship with tracking or confirmation to Alaska or Hawaii doesn't cost much more than any other state for most packages. Getting tracking to the UK or even Canada costs 2-3 times more. Sure shipping without tracking isn't too much more than shipping with tracking in US but that is apples and oranges since they clearly don't want to ship untracked. Yes, others stores do it but many decide not to I can understand why. Once your business has had a few international packages "lost" and your are forced to eat the cost from dishonest people you start requiring confirmation and a direct signature.
