My shipping cost is over $18. I'm going to call SS later today, we all should call them.

I've been charged. My shipping was $16.80. I think that is pretty much what it as always been for me. Item shipping soon.

After seeing the shipping charges that you guys are getting, suddenly my charge of $27 to Asia does not seem that bad now.

Where's my rape whistle?!

Maybe Bill Cosby got a job there now?

It's .08 cents more to ship it to me here in Los Angeles 20 miles away.

WTF?? I still love 1/6th SW, but I just can't get past the feeling that we're being totally raped in this hobby. Can't wait to see the price on Quicksilver. He comes with Hands and a Stand.

Does BBTS 1/6 Sideshow figures come in individual brown factory boxes like HT's do, or do they just come in case fresh color boxes? Then ship them in the BBTS brown shipper?

 

[FLOSI]

I think the last SS SW fig I got from BBTS was the probe droid, and that was shipped in the BBTS box, no SS shipper.

That makes sense. When shipping to a business they ship a minimum order, at least 2 or more figures, all color boxes in one large brown shipping box and that's one order. When shipping to a consumer, they normally order only one figure, so that would be shipped in the brown shipper we all get that just needs a label.

Just the trooper

Just did a live chat with SS regarding this. She assured me SS does not make a profit from shipping and that we as customers receive a discounted rate in fact. SS must get the absolute worst rate UPS offers if this is true.

She also suggested because I got the exclusive with the rifle it might cost more. I wasn't aware the rifle was 1:1 and made of steel.

maybe this will help ease our pain.

We might also need the jaws of life!! Lol

Hey, did anyone get a notice for the speeder? I ordered through AE... Thinking about canceling.

I think they have a good international rate considering it is $30 to post a normal 1/6 figure to Australia. However to pay more than $15 to just post in the same state seems pretty expensive.

$18.06 shipping to Chesapeake Virginia. Wow! Never been that high for a bare bones figure. Should have been the same price as the clones. $10-$12.

Sideshow stopped using the shipper boxes and now just using a sideshow box. Can't remember the last SS figure I got in an individually marked shipper. Maybe Harley Quinn?

They've started using bigger boxes than they did in the past. The Hoth figures were in bigger boxes, maybe due to the new stand and snow base design. R2 had a different shaped box. Don't know if that is screwing up their old $10 flat-rate ship. Didn't their Vader ship initially for $10? That looks like a calculated rate now too. It's pretty nuts that CA is $16 and NY is $18 for the Scout--not that i want it to be more over here.

But honestly with the coupon and not having to pay taxes, I can't really complain about the $8 difference, which is covered in rewards. Crap, I never got to use a coupon on this one.
