So shipping within CA is only 25-90 cents cheaper than across the country for Sideshow.
Seems Legit.

In my initial excitement I didn't notice the shipping cost. $17.75 is what they quoted me. That is REALLY high in my opinion. I sold a Hot Toys figure on eBay a couple of weeks ago and shipped it to a buyer in California via USPS Priority Mail and it only cost about $11. Surely a large company like Sideshow can negotiate even better rates than I can get myself. I like using Sideshow for the Rewards Points, but if they're going to charge almost $20 to ship a single figure then it makes the Rewards Points basically useless and I'll just start shopping at places with no NRD
That's why I've been going with BBTS lately. Sure I get the figure a month after everyone gets it from SSC but I've paid no more than $15 for a figure to be shipped WITH packout.

Yep. I just checked BBTS and they would only charge me $9 to ship. On top of being cheaper, it'd be double boxed like you said. If I weren't for the exclusive I would cancel this order and re-order with BBTS.
EDIT: I just realized the $9 shipping is because I already have stuff in my pile of loot. It would probably be a few bucks more if my pile was empty. Then again, PoL is another great reason to order from BBTS if you don't need everything in a rush.

BBTS is great, except when I want the SS exclusive. I like the little guitar.

That's why I'm going to go ahead and keep my order with Sideshow for this one.

I guess we're paying more for the "handling" than the shipping gauging by the small difference in price to different regions of the US.

Got my notice as well. $18 to ship to KY. Be $28 after the pack-out is added.

Only 1 way to know if it's a fair shipping charge. Take it to UPS once you've gotten it and let them tell you how much back to Cali-fornia.

I know because I have shipped packages larger and more protected for cheaper.

No. I can guarantee Sideshow gets a deep volume discount compared to what you or I would pay. And the extra $10 pack-out charge I have to pay to ensure my collectible is adequately packed is complete crap.
