Why aren't shipping fees grouped?

The shipping fees (and separate VAT fees) are set by each Postal Administration. As explained in the BUYING BASICS section, orders are shipped by the different Postal Administrations which means that each Administration set their own postage fees.

In what currency does WOPA+ operate?

WOPA+ is based in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar and therefore operates in Pound Sterling (GBP). The currency exchanges are based on official international exchange rates and may fluctuate on a daily basis. Please note that exchange rates are set for indicative purposes and your credit company may charge more or less depending on their own forex fees and your official currency set on your credit card. However, the difference is normally a minimum, Payments in multiple currencies can also be made via Pay Pal or Bank Transfer.
