I contacted the seller, they assure me that everything will be double boxed and very carefully packed. and I told them I’m in no rush so a slower aka cheaper delivery is great
Keep in mind, the slower the method of shipping, the longer they are bounced and thrashed about with the carrier. I run into this a lot because of our heavier units being shipped ground. We found more damage on the other end. If you pay for the faster shipping, UPS/FedEx doesn’t have enough time to really give it their all!
Don’t worry. I’ve only had two packages lost in transit, (one showed up a few months later the other I believe was left at the mail boxes and was taken, who would want a custom made brass buisness card holder is beyond me) and only one got here in pieces. That was the packers fault. He tried to blame it on customs, but they didn’t open it. I’ve never had a problem with USPS before.
For those of you that were worried about the shipping costs, it was only $64.64. I’m not sure what other people usually pay, but it sounds about right for international shipping of all that weight. I figured that all together its about 58 lbs…
$64 for all those dragons? 😯 Man, it’s going to cost me more than $50 just to get the Old Warrior over here. 🙁
That seems rather cheap to me. Let me check something. brb
Edit: They must be sending it surface/economy. It will be 4-6 weeks before you get it. They also must be packaging them all together in a big box. Are they insuring it? I hope so!
Where are you shipping it too? Does that include insurance? It cost me 40 bucks to get my OW from the states through customs and into Canada.
it does sound very low so I would also check to see how they are going to ship it to make sure it does not take 6 weeks or so
I went and calculated it myself cause you guys have me a little bit worried… For 4-6 boxes, totaling about 60 lbs, to arrive in the next week and a half should be about 70 dollars. I went on the UPS calculater thingy
It cost you $40 for customs? How much was your OW and how much tax do you pay? In ontario it’s GST 6% and PST 8%. So for just taxes on $561 is $78.54, plus $5 handeling. So all together it’s $83.54. That doesn’t sound right. I’ll have to see what all they charge now. Or did you mean shipping. I know I paid around $40 for my last OW for shipping. Then I paid around $115 for customs.
