IIRC the S/H cost has been E 25 (+VAT) for every order I placed. My
orders are in the E 500 ... E 2000 range, so I don't mind much, but they
definitely don't seem to want small orders. Which of course suits me
fine :)

What I like is that the S/H is E 25, no matter how many packes they
actually send, from different warehouses, and/or for backorders. And I
don't know how they do it, but I get a Dutch invoice with Dutch VAT, and
no hassle wth customs. Very convenient.
