Interesting factoid: Noble Knight Games sells GHQ on Amazon. Why is it interesting? Well for one they are usually a dollar or more cheaper than GHQ's retail price. If you get amazon gift cards for birthdays and holidays this is a cool way to spend it. Speaking of gift cards, if you have small residual balances on cards you can buy amazon cards which can then be used to purchase GHQ minis. GHQ won't split a sale across more than one credit card but through amazon now I can use up all that residual money.
I am not affiliated in any way with amazon, GHQ, or Noble Knight Games, I just thought this might come in handy for some out there.

That is useful info for the limited situation you described with gift cards. Out of curiosity, I checked it out, and found that while their GHQ blister packs are a dollar cheaper, they also charge $2.95 shipping per item (not for the entire order). Even living in the same state as GHQ and paying sales tax, it was slightly cheaper ordering 4-5 blisters directly from GHQ.

Living in Australia, I ALWAYS check the postage and handling charges for orders. The reason I don't buy from Noble Knight is that their discount is more than offset by postage costs (it is still cheaper to go direct to GHQ) but buying individual packs is pointless for me. Cost isn't reasonable unless I buy a minimum of 6 (usually 10) packs.
There is no right or wrong, only decisions and consequences.

Actually, I ordered four items and paid $4.69 for shipping which is $1.26 less than I would have paid GHQ.Delta Echo wrote:That is useful info for the limited situation you described with gift cards.

edit: The other thing you get is shipment notification and amazon's package tracking - neither available here.

I just bought 28 packs of GHQ from Noble Knight and the shipping was 9.95 that includes insurance and tracking and I got the order in 1 day! So the lager orders are much cheaper buying from Noble Knight. I'm not sure where the 2.95 per items shipping info came from. I always get my orders within 2 days. Just my 2 cents.

Well they list their packs at $2.95 S&H but as you've seen they combine shipping and not simply multiply the stated cost by the number of packs.

My package arrived one week after I received the shipping notice, which is good considering it has to go through the military postal system to get to me. One other benefit, Noble Knight included a card/code for 10% off my next order.
