Rewards cost pretty much twice as much in P&H; costs alone. What i want to know is, is there any way to reduce the postage and handling costs. Thanks

I'm not sure that you can reduce the prices of shipping, it's a far distance to handle. Say are you sure you can get items from the shop? Because I can see items too but I still won't be able to purchase them.

I read the Common Questions page and it turns out that rewards are only shipped to the UK, USA and Canada. This really bites because i'm too young to start a paypal account. What a waste...

What a waste... someguyhatesbrocolli No you could still order items from here. You just couldn't order from the Reward Gallery like US/UK/CA members, because the shipping couldn't be determined by the system. What you can do is send in a Support Ticket to the admin team, under the Support tab, and categorize the ticket under Manual Amazon Order. Request your item there. You will need enough points to cover the extra shipping costs, and make sure the seller you're trying to order from ships to your country.
