I don't understand how it would cost me $14.21 to ship to N. Cali. It can't be only $3.30 extra to ship across the entire country, can it?. I'm even thinking about doing the pack-out thing. It seems like all of my packages get smashed up before they arrive. I don't thnk I can take the chance with just the brown shipper. It's ridiculous that Sideshow doesn't double box them anyway. I've actually had them replace two boxes for me in the past. You would think they would save themselves the hassle and properly pack the items. Plus it cost me $17.21 in taxes.
I really wish AE had all of the Sideshow exclusives. They double box my items and ship across the country for normally about $15.
Not a single Aussie or European on this thread feels an ounce of pity for your plight
. Luckily I wasn't addressing you guys anyway. Although you are concerned with their packing, right? But seriously, $3.30 more to cross the entire country.
"Why would a Wookie, an 8 foot tall Wookie, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of 2 foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense!"
Okay?
When you've never known the awesomeness of living in America and having access to relatively cheap figures, cheap postage and all those sellers who only ship within the US... then I guess it's just something you factor into your collecting budget.
At the moment the Aussie dollar is worth more than the US dollar, so I feel like I've hit the jackpot in not paying an extra 20-odd percent on top of the US MSRP to begin with.
Seeing EB's GoD Bruce for $330 shipped to Oz but $350 shipped to the States gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling even though I'm passing on that figure. And DX04 is going to set me back US$245 shipped from SSC, or AUS$235. This exchange rate won't last forever, but I'm hoping to milk it for as long as I can
