It baffles me that people would pay half the statue's cost just to expedite shipping. I know we're impatient but that is just craziness.

That's fine. They don't have to give a damn. But it's times like these that will ruin their reputation.

Cancellations or no cancellations on this piece. It doesn't matter. Collectors will remember these times.

Maybe collectors remember also the three headsculpts for the new Cable, second torso for Swamp Thing or the colour change on Archangel Classic. Just maybe, some last things XM has done for collectors.

But they changed the colour from blue to electrical blue, no big deal for me and i have him on PO.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Yeah, go ahead and put mine on the boat. Not paying 800 plus just to have him in 3 or 4 days. I can live with the $300 plus for shipping and have him after the Chinese New Year.

That's what a good reputation gets you. Customer understanding/forgiveness. But burn enough customers, then your reputation declines. You won't have customer understanding/forgiveness soon after.

Not only that. We're also talking about the mismatched paint app on the statue.

I'm going to assume that you're living in California, so $635 for express shipping is far less than what we've been hearing. It's still a lot for shipping to California but that's definitely more doable than the $800 plus that has been thrown around.

^ yea, a tad more doable than what I was quoted. But anything over $400 just to ship, is too rich for my blood.

Yes I?m from Northern California.

That?s 2 boxes with an estimate of 42lbs each. Dimensions are almost identical so we?re talking about $317/box for express. It?s a lil much but doable.
