Title: Hi & one question for a start

Hi!
How does look like shipment on group orders - is there any 'standard' price for sending to EU?

Welcome to Geekhack!

Your shipping question is not as simple as it may sound. It depends on a few factors.

- Where is the organizer located? What is the volume of your order? From the US to EU, Priority Mail shipping in a small flat rate box is around $25. Medium flat rate goes up to $40. If it's a small order that can be shipped First Class, it may cost as little as $8 or so, but there is a risk that you will never receive your order. Priority mail or EMS is much more reliable.

Also, if there is a proxy for shipping within the EU, it can be cheaper, depending on how many orders can split the shipping cost from the organizer to the proxy.
