Authenticator is going to cost me $27!?

Just had my account fixed after being hacked. Obviously I want to secure it with an Authenticator. $6.50 for it is certainly a reasonable price. HOWEVER, not when the shipping is $21!!!!

I live in Australia (and chose the Australian version of it) and I can't understand why shipping for such a small item is so expensive!! I frequently buy off the internet and I have had much larger items sent to me from the USA at less than half the cost.

Am I missing something here?

Unfortunately, shipping to Australia is a bit. We actually made other arrangements rather early on, at one time, believe it or not, it was more :(

The mobile version may very well be a more economical version if you happen to have a supported device.

Hmm. That's not a bad idea.

Would it be possible for an American to order the Australian authenticator? Then they could send it to me.


All authenticators will work in any region.

You might want to check out the EU store, those will work, but I'm not sure the shipping will be any less.
