I know this has been addressed before, but why is there no option like that anymore. I just paid $8 priority shipping on a $25 toy. I know if I emailed the shop they would most likely refund the shipping and hold the item for me, but that has got to be a pain in the ass after awhile. I also realize that, having to get emails about combining orders all day is the same difference. Whatever I guess.
This has been addressed elsewhere, but is far from being public knowledge. I pulled it off the customer service page on S7. "To use the Combined Shipping program, enter the code HOLDMYSTUFF at checkout. When the order is completed, items from your order will be automatically held at Super7 for future shipping or local pick-up at our San Francisco location only. Items may be held up to 180 days. Normal Return Policy applies."
That is not so bad Ed, usually international folks have to pay 25$ shipping on an 8$ toy. And even that is probably closer to average, not a blown out example. [Not Super7 specific, mind, I am just saying generally] It really makes it hard to be a 'foreign' collector, and in order to justify a sale, has to be something mighty special. Particularly when you are on a budget, and looking at toys a mere fraction of the going rate, it is hard to justify. I mean, I completely understand where you are coming from, but I am just saying it is also all relative. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Folks in the US generally have it very good.
