If you feel its to much just PM Josh, he is really cool about taking care of issues.

This was a store inquiry in the store section not a "issue".

Thanks

Just curious if shipping has gone up? the last invoice I received stated $10 for one figure.

Thanks!

Either way, it's better than $15+ EMS...

I have noticed that shipping is going up & have also noticed that S7 often ships in boxes way oversized for the product. Figures in smaller (yet perfectly safe) boxes can be shipped for much less.

This reeally doesnt matter, its about the weight. And up to a certain weight its gonna be the same price. So usually a box about twice the size wont add that much more weight to bring it to the next weight limit up.

guys,

the reason we use the size of boxes we do, is that the USPS supplies priority mail boxes at no charge. therefore, we have three set sizes to work with. the smallest size is a crunch for a RxH figure. I used to use those all the time, but a lot of folks were unhappy with their figures being smooshed, so we use the next size up, which is a bit too roomy for one figure. we certainly could get boxes that fit each size figure perfectly, to get an accurate as possible postal rate, but then the cost of the box would be added in as well.

shipping is expensive, we do our very best to keep it as low as possible. we could also ship regular mail instead of priority, but then we would have to pay somebody to haul all the boxes to the post office and wait in line all day, as priority is the cheapest option available online, which would be reflected in the shipping price.

believe me, postage is something we have put a lot of consideration into, and we are still researching other solutions. it would be great if we could just give everyone super cheap toys with free shipping, but that just isnt realistic. please hang with us, we're doing our best.

we actually get three sizes of boxes from the post office, and only one is a flat-rate box. i usually turn those boxes inside out as well to keep the postage lower. we do get other sized boxes from uline as well, and while they are not expensive, there is a cost which needs to be factored in. we also recycle packing material whenever we can, using the paper and foam and what not that things come shipped to us in, to reduce the expense of bubble wrap and packing paper.

believe me, we have looked into and are continuing to look into every way possible to keep shipping affordable. the bottom line is that postage, supplies, and labor cost money. it would be great if we could offer the kind of breaks a large company like amazon or something can, or send somebody to the post office to get slower and cheaper postage than is available online, but it just isnt realistic.

i know boutique vinyl toys can get pretty pricey, and paying shipping on top of the cost of a figure can seem like a lot, but we are doing our very best to make this as painless as possible.
