They seriously seem to only charge the actual shipping cost they get from UPS, not even the 'retail' cost that they could fairly charge. Sideshow will probably 2-3x that lol.
I can't name all of my gripes with Sideshow, but one near the top of their list is their unwillingness to provide shipping costs on pre-order items.
Clearly they can, they just choose not to.
As you say, their shipping costs are outrageously inflated, and they know people are unlikely to cancel once the item arrives and final shipping charges are billed. What's an extra $10 when you've already waited 13 months for a $260 figure?
If they actually were waiting until the item arrives, to get the exact shipping cost, that would be one thing, but they're not charging exact shipping costs, they're inflating it. It's unacceptable.
