Why can't I order two different photo books in the same order?

I find the shipping fees for photo books outrageous, especially when I can't have it shipped to a different country than my billing address (which means ordering a christmas gift, having it sent to Sweden, for €10, and then ship it to USA myself, paying yet again). This for a quite simple photo book which was meant more as a christmas card.

I though I could save a bit by ordering another book at the same time, having them shipped together, but I can't seem to place two items in the same order - is this really the case?

I wish I had looked into the before going through the pain of compiling the books, or I would never have chosen Photos to make them.

Anyone have a suggestion? Or if you know a way to export all photos from a project in order to re-do it from another site (exporting the pdf and printing would not give enough quality, I assume?)

Thank you

Why - because that is not the way it works

and the users here have no more control over apple decisions than you do - each project is a separate order with separate shipping

you can try internet sites - presto Photos claims to be albut to print from a Preview PDF - Preview a print project in Photos, iPhoto, or Aperture to avoid issues - Apple Support - I have never used them only read about them online

You could try making a pdf of the book to have PrestoPhoto print them and see if they will ship multiple different books to the US address in one order.

PrestoPhoto advertises that they can print books from the pdf files created by Photos for book projects. I've not used them so proceed at your own risk.

Thank you both. I have now placed an order with presto photo. I found the information on shipping etc from Apple lacking, but you clarified it for me.
