eFX Darth Vader A NEW HOPE Helmet!

[IronFingaz]

Romania shipping: $690. I got my own quote from FedEx US and FedEx Romania and both said $710 and $725. Add to that all the taxes and customs charges (where they will tax the $700 shipping quote too, thus a tax on a tax), VAT 24% and you have a hell of an expensive helmet. NO helmet is worth that much unless it is a LFL helmet from the archives itself. Thanks a lot greedy FedEx, hope you go belly up soon!

Damn! Clearly eFX doesn't have a deal in place with Fedex like Sideshow has.

EE, BBTS and Razor's will have reasonable shipping quotes for sure.

I passed on the Legend helmet exactly because of these insane shipping costs, where if you add the taxes and customs, plus VAT, you can simply buy another Vader Legend, only out of shipping and taxes costs. That is not right by any scale in this world. I'm a very reasonable person, but when unreasonable things happen, I try to avoid them since my good sense tells me to stop. I posted the shipping costs above and talked about this shipping issue to let other people know collecting is not so easy all over the world.

He’s not the only one hurting . Postage to Australia is not much better but I tried emailing Brian several times to check if it was correct or if there was any sort of plan that could be done and never received any replies back. I just could not take the gamble to purchase one when the company can not even find the time to answer one question. This is one item that will always haunt me just because of where I live and no options on postage.

I feel for the overseas people that can't get the Legend because of greedy shipping cost. On the other hand the Limited Is still a very nice looking helmet and will be make a great centerpiece in ones collection.

Yeah, there are quite a few other international members in this situation, and I see various online shops offering the LE for way less shipping than eFX with their FedEx option. This makes me think "something is rotten in the state of Denmark" as Shakespeare would say. As for the "excellent" eFX communication, you already know my opinion...

The only good thing is that it didn't kill me since I'm not a Vader collector, but of course I didn't like seeing greedy FedEx coming up with such prices at all. I hope all of them will get what they deserve one day.

Yeah but you collect buckets and Imperials... I figured you would have a 1:1 Vader by now anyways. Your collection is looking great by the way.

 

[jkno]

I collect Imperials and Troopers mostly, I always like Stormtroopers the most. I never wanted to be a Jedi, or a Sith, I wanted a Stormtrooper I already have too many Vaders in my collection, and this only because for one released Stormtrooper collectible a company releases 4-5 Vader items.

Yeah I did the same, I went back and forth with Bryan over email 3 or4 times but $460 was answer and no other options, screwed royally WILL NOT ORDER FROM EFX EVER AGAIN!

 

[gibby]

You only have to verify the last few digits. They have yout complete card number on file in your account.

Thanks, Hedji, and that's what I assumed as well, so I just put "please call" in the CCV area.
I haven't heard from them, and received an email response of "Thanks", so I'm assuming they were cool with it.

You will see some of them for overprice on ebay as soon as they are in hand. There were already 3 or 4 for sale and not even arrived to the sellers yet... eFX really did an excellent job with shipping for international customers

 

[shocktrooper_au]

They sure did, it's cheaper for me to cancel loose my deposit & buy locally LOL!

 

[jkno]

I kind of doubt they will learn anything from this alas...

 

[QuiGonFishing]

On his way...

 

[shocktrooper_au]

bad lighting, but still a great helm
