It is...That sounds like a complete nightmare.

It's pretty much either DHL or FedEx and I've had nothing but trouble from FedEx in the past and refuse to use them ever again. One instance I pulled them up because they charged more fees than they should have and they wanted Ā£50 to amend the invoice, may as well just pay the invoice which was less than that.
Collecting internationally is just ridiculously overcomplicated, especially since Sideshow is the only "official retailer" for Hot Toys etc.
Pretty sure this has zero impact on the figure itself.So is this also effecting the U.S and will this delay the figure into next month?
Easier said than done when the majority of your country are imbeciles.Best to vote out those who would like to tax citizens to death
It won't affect the release date. It will however affect when we'll all get our hands on the figure (at least EU buyers). If every single order/item goes through customs it'll probably take more than 2 weeks to actually be done with the inspection.So is this also effecting the U.S and will this delay the figure into next month?
My last figure from KGHobby arrived 05.06.2021 (Europe - Poland) with no issues either (no fees). But with two customs clerance this time.That seems have something to do with the DHL service they use which I strongly recommend against since their import fees seem to be randomized and nonsensical, the last figure I got from KGHobby with EMS shipping arrived with no issues, but if you're in the EU yeah there's really no reason to keep using other sites unless you collect a lot of unlicensed stuff.
Yeah, I bought my two Venons from them with no charges on either one. I think they were tagged as 10 USD or something. Lots of things that come from China that are labelled like this evade taxes, from what I know. I bought my 1TB SSD from ALiexpress and payed like less than half of what is the "normal" price for one of the traditional brands such as Samsung, with no taxes.I do notice places such as KGHobby tend to ship the items under their real name (I assume) instead if the business name, which probably helps solidify the lie.
In my humble opinion if they ain't sure about a release date they shouldn't be making statements like it will release next month, especially when a product has been delayed so many times. It was to release after Chinese New year and that didn't happen. Then they said Q2 and there was a post specifically mentioning June and honestly by the way things are looking this isn't happening either. I know it's a difficult period due to Covid and everything, but the communication part could be better.Folks seem to not understand how release dates work for figures. They simply release when they're done, it's only a guess until they're actually done.
It's not like video games, where stock is just held in the back until a specified release date. If they say in May, that it's releasing in June, that doesn't mean it's releasing in June. It means, "We think it will be another 6-8 weeks" ... and that's likely to be wrong.
