Please don't take too much risk with the packaging, I'd rather pay extra too. Having it arrive damaged would really suck:P
Having received a keyboard that traveled from India, I certainly understand your concern.
EDIT: yeah ... looked at the mailing bubble envelopes. Not gonna cut it internationally, and I'm not real sure I could get it in, even.

Wait.
They charged you eleven dollars per kit more than they quoted you? You should go back there (or call) and talk to a manager about this. The definition of a "quote" is that you can quote them on it, not that it's an estimate or whatever.
I never received a quote for the minimalist cases. I tried quite a few times and never received a number. But I when I got the quote for the whole kits, I asked for a quote for the minimalist cases and was told it would probably be close enough to guess by surface area. So, just a rule of thumb, and it didn't occur to me that the lasering time would be disproportionate until I was billing folks.
Also I think it's more than eleven because at eleven for each mini-case, that brings be down to where I'd expect to be
after mailing domestic orders.
[...] I can pay in switches if you like. [...]
Hmm ... Clears? That'd be ... about enough for a thumb cluster
EDIT: I went out, but the manager was out. No one to talk to who knew anything. I'll go back out this afternoon. Kinda have to because ostein.krog 's order was in a suitable box but I forgot the tape -- and the customs form -- and his address.
So, here's where I see that we are: I'm out something, and I'd like some help with that but I don't mind splitting the loss because this first round was intended as a learning experience for me.
JD's order is complete as paid, but there's a fair chance (I HOPE) that his spacer is in, in which case I'll give him the option to add that to his order -- if it's not in I suppose I'll ship what I have.
Dorkvader's order is 2/3rds here ... and once the shop guys find the two missing pieces or recut them so they dont get lost this time, or whatever, then I can ship his.
TheChemist: yes I'd like something from you because yours was just a minimalst order but I'm not worried enough about it to hold your order ransom. Shipped.
Effinish: pretty sure the whole cases cost me what I was told they cost me, and that's all you ordered. Shipped.
