I know a lot of people will be ordering the new H2O soon, so I thought I would give my current experience with Chapters. (I bought from them once before, when I bought my Glo HD).

Yes the shipping is $30, that is for Priority Mail International. I ordered on May 3. I received a shipment confirmation email with tracking number on May 4. On May 5 I was able to see it in the system. It has been or is being transferred to the USPS. Delivery is expected May 10. Signature required.

My credit card charged was 151, plus a foreign transaction fee of $4 FYI (AMEX).

I will update when my item is received.

As of 05/07, the package has come and gone through New York, and is on the way to PA.

Update, they checked it in and out of the Pittsburgh facility this morning (the 9th) so it will arrive tomorrow (the 10th).

Expected delivery is now May 9.

ETA 5/9/17: It appears to still be in New York, in customs.

05/09/17 - It is here! I happened to be at the post office dropping off 2 Kobos that I sold, and it had just arrived. It was actually sent via Express mail, so if I hadn't been there, the mail man would have come back to the PO to get it and deliver it today.
