Haven't ordered for a while from Sideshow, or anyone International, but did so recently for something from Sideshow, for a product which is 3rd in the line of 2 other products I already have.
Waitlist converted. Great. Checked the postage £150. Lol, what?
The previous items earlier last year cost me £60-70. What is with the rise of price? No explanation whatsoever, just a random estimation.
I thought to myself, okay well at least it's being shipped by DHL who I have been fortunate with with £50-60 vat bills.
Custom & VAT Bill for this came to £160?
What in the Christ Almighty of ****, £300+ for shipping and vat, when last year It was less than £150 for both.
I did the calculations, and including shipping the item came to about $700, so 20% of that is 108 approx, plus handling fee maybe.
Have I missed something? I need to know where these figures are being pulled from because if this is the new future, then stick a fork in me.
Any input would be appreciated, as I can't get hold of DHL, and they probably wouldn't give two squirts anyway If I did get through.
