Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

Sauron ( two large boxes just like balrog ) was $200 ish from Japan a few weeks ago.

That $400 quote stinks

Oof, mine should be shipping soon too then but that price sucks. Unfortunately not much can be done at this point, I'm very much looking forward to receiving this in hand. No invoice yet, hopefully soon!

What are they thinking charging that much? In the future who would order from them when you can order directly from Prime 1 and receive the product sooner and cheaper? You’d think they would realize trying to gouge us will hurt them in the long run.

Damn that sucks. I ordered from Spec because I assume shipping from US would be cheaper than shipping from Japan. That's a bit sus honestly.

Seems they are having us pay for shipping from China to them then from them to us where it would just be cheaper to send direct.

Before everyone starts jumping on SF for their shipping costs. I ordered P1’s Soundwave before Thanksgiving directly from P1's store. Shipping was $400+ expedited $160+ standard. I just woke up to a text with a duty tax of $188 through DHL for the piece on top of the shipping cost. This is a first time for me, and I’ve purchased through P1 before and use DHL quite frequently. So be careful. I know with Todd I never have to pay a duty tax. For reference I went with the expedited shipping on SW. A year and a half ago I purchased Last Knight Megatron and paid about the same for expedited with no duty tax shipped via DHL.

Hey everyone,


Just want to clarify, the people who were charged $250 shipping direct from prime 1 have already been charged and sent their item? I just want to make sure because with the box dimensions I have $250 USD seems impossible.


I know prime 1 can sometimes change ship costs from when you checkout to when the item actually ships. Just want some more info so I can see what people were REALLY charged.
