I believe olivier's shipping estimates are 
honest. he double checked for me with the poste 
as well. I think the problem americans have with 
the shipping is that it is half the price to send 
from the US to France. please keep in mind that 
rates are different depending on where you are 
sending FROM.

as for emailing him, use the link on his page 
rather than the one from animanga, he has 
responded to me several times in one day on our 
transaction.
