Good News For Overseas Customers Who Shop Our Online Store!

We have added a new, fast and affordable shipping option to our online store for these countries: Global Priority Mail for Single Book Sales.

If you live in one of these countries and want your ICE book FAST (within 3-5 business days), but don't want to spend a ton of money on overnight Express service, you can now have it sent Global Priority Mail for only $10.00 US and it'll get to you within 3-5 business days!

NOTE: This special rate applies only to the countries on this list and is for a SINGLE (as in one and only one) book only--it does not include Silent Death metal minis or the Silent Death Deluxe Box Set.
