First of all, thank you for asking us, the backers regarding this issue.
Option #1 should clearly be the preferred option for the non-US citizens, since it will take additional time for us to receive the package.
A question to Obsidian: Will the package be sent as a gift or will it be sent as a normal parcel?
The reason for asking this; if the value exceeds a certain amount (app. $45), my wonderful country will add 25% sales taxes. And of course a handling charge (app. $15). And of course, it would be delayed further....
BUT, if you send it as a gift, or the value stated on the parcel is below $45, everything would go much smoother.
After all, it is a gift, isn't it?
