Well...At least BBTS only has $4 shipping as opposed to...whatever SS decides to charge at the time...usually at least $20...

"$23.50 Non-Refundable

FUUUUUUU
If they start adding this, there's really no reason to order from them.
The entire perk of ordering HTs from BBTS is that you could cancel without losing money.
Now it's basically the same as Sideshow, except Sideshow you gain points and whatnot...
Whoever made this decision at BBTS is a dumb dumb.
Well that sucks about an NRD at BBTS now too. The odd thing to me is that they seem to sell through their stock faster than Sideshow presumably because they order less. That was a major reason to order from them but if they're going to start that I don't know if I'll keep using them as often. They still have the perk of lower shipping but Sideshow had rewards points so it balances out somewhat.
I think all the retailers got stuck on that deal but I get the feeling it's more a result of Hot Toys overproducing than anything.
But you also get points at Sideshow. So that $20 becomes $8 to ship on this figure. So you're really saving $4.
But you have to wait an extra 2 weeks to get the figure from the time Sideshow could have it to you.
And time = money.
What is the value of having first pics up here? Or having your figure in hand two weeks early? Or being able to get replacement parts while Sideshow still has them?
Is all that worth $4?
This is true except with the caveat that you can pile of loot several figures and ship them all for $4. I think we talked on this earlier but I have K2, R2, Luke, and 2 gunners coming likely within 2 weeks of each other. Would have been $120 at sideshow to ship, and not double boxed.

When ordering from BBTS, do you get a shipper with the figure, or nah?
All the figures I've gotten from them have the shipper and are also double boxed. I somewhat get the reasoning behind NRD's but I also feel like it should be a case by case thing personally. If people order and cancel left and right that's one thing and there could just be a site rule about it (Alter Ego Comics does that). Also I think that the fact it takes as long as it does for figures to arrive contributes to cancellations. It'd be really nice if we could get a smaller window for when figures will arrive. Mostly everything is a year or more off and sometimes things come up. I rarely cancel but I still don't like to be locked into a deposit if there comes a reason that I need to.When ordering from BBTS, do you get a shipper with the figure, or nah?
