Price increase due to new postage rates

2011 started with a bad surprise.
Without any prior announcement the Italian Post has increased the cost of international priority mail in some cases up to 100%!!
We have temporary suspended the shop to calculate the new costs.
We will try to absorb much of the cost increase, but as we already did so, we will be compelled to increase some costs.

The increase will not affect Europe as we can totally absorb the cost increase (sigh).

Here the possible costs (the shop will be re-opened in the next days)

North America
Impetus: 32 euros. Same cost
Extra Impetus 1: 20 euros (+3 euros)
