Fakku Books Shipping Fee

Hey team.
I know there is nothing that can be done on your side, but I just feel the need to vent a bit. I have been wanting to buy a hard copy of a Fakku book for a while now and today I decided was the day.
At first I wanted to buy ISHiKEi's TiTiKEi since I already bought the digital copy and thought I should cash in on "upgrading" to the card copy and Fakku can reimburse me the $10 I originally bought it with. So the hard copy is $25 and I thought "What a bargain!" until I realized the $21 shipping fee... That's almost the same price as the book, just to ship. I'm sure you can imagine my shock and disappointment.
So I thought that maybe Fakku's shipping is just a tad high and tried Amazon (though I couldn't find TiTiKEi so I tried Homunculus's Renei Sample) and again, the hard copy is $20 and shipping is $14.
I don't know, I just feel sad inside that I cannot obtain the books I want because of ridiculous shipping fee's...
Like I said, I know Fakku doesn't control costs but I feel so many people could afford to buy books if the shipping wasn't so high.
PS - I stay in South Africa so I know international shipping is more but still, almost 100% on shipping fee's to product cost changed my decision to buy a book.

Amazon is getting rid of adult stuff. Fakku was getting screwed anyways, but i just entered the Hilton Sandton address into rightstuf checkout and it said 14$ via Asendia international mail. You can try that. Jlist carries fakku books also but not titiket... sold out or not available. The japanese version is.

Is there a source for that or just an observation? It sounded to me like they just weren't stocking certain books, not for any particular reason.

Alrighty this is what I found on Amazon RE: FAKKU Books.
Carnal Communication is available and sold from Amazon and is Amazon Prime eligible.
Shoujo Material is listed as a Pre-Order, with Amazon Prime Eligability. (More about Shoujo Material at the end of this post).
The following are titles that are not sold by Amazon but sold through Amazon's Martketplace, FAKKU is the seller and all books have the note, "Fufilled By Amazon", so they still have Amazon Prime eligibility:
Renai Sample
Welcome to Tokoharu Apartments
Melty Glaze
PuniKano
Alluring Woman
The following are titles NOT available through Amazon in anyway whatsoever at the time of this post (that I could find at least):
Peachy-Butt Girls
Porno Switch
Love Ridden
TiTiKEi
XXX Maiden
The Job of A Service Committee Member
Fresh Pudding
Curiosity XXXed The Cat
Kira Kira (Still a Pre-Order on FAKKU anyway)
Meaty Minxes(Still a Pre-Order on FAKKU anyway)
Ima Real(Still a Pre-Order on FAKKU anyway)
FootNote: Regarding Shoujo Material right now it is a Pre-Order but it is listed as "Temporarily Out of Stock", it says that even though FAKKU has not even received the book yet and haven't started shipping(as of this post) and has a note that once available they will notify you and deliver. Also I did order a second copy of the book from Amazon and I got an email not to long ago saying they apologize but the book release date has been pushed back to March 30, 2016 not sure which hat they pulled that date out of but they said it.

I checked fakku store front yesterday for another reason and nothing was there except vn's. I guess they had to remove and recensored the nudity on the pics i guess.

Shipping is definitely ridiculous, I bought 9 of the books before and while it took a while and a few emails to Fakku books to get my order processed, I did get them through UPS and in perfect condition.... for nearly $45 Canadian in shipping cost. Went to the store just now because I was interested in expanding the collection, especially with the new book by NaPaTa, and apparently UPS is no longer a shipping option; and the cheapest option is now $60 US! What the **** \O_O/ !!! That is way too costly to be realistic, and I'm in Ontario, just over the border. Like, wow.

Was thinking about ordering some books, but I cant justify paying 60 bucks in shipping, thats just way too much.

Look into rightstuf. 4 books should add up as 5ib so 27.99$. 1.2ibs a book roughly described by the sites info. 249$ and over is free... which if you buy their bundle plus another book it would be free to canada.
No digital though.
