I'd note that - as you well know - this is a bit of chicken and egg problem.
I can probably extract a quote on shipping from my printers in the EU once I know the scope of the book in pages and quantity, and I'll relay that if I can.
But if we don't really see funding and/or stretch goals until the last 48 hours of the campaign due to "bathtub" behavior, that is - to borrow a term - inside the printers' OODA loop. I won't be able to give a definitive quantity or page count, which means they won't quote shipping.
The best way here is to make it irrelevant. If we hit the biggest stretch goals before the surge, at least I can know 240 pages and then ping them on best guesses as to shipping.
