Sideshow Prime 1 shipping

Any info appreciated

I just noticed my shipping costs for Prime 1 products from Sideshow increased dramatically. I asked a Sideshow Rep about it, and they said no change had occurred, and shipping was the normal rate. It looks like international shipping costs to me, and no significant rate change appears on my produced by Sideshow orders. What's happening?

Salt Lake, and shipping on Deathstroke is $330. I could drive to Sideshows warehouse and pick it up for less.

Yeah that's definitely not like it used to be. My last piece was the Origins Joker, which was in a HUGE box, and shipping was $80ish. $330 is outrageous.

For what it is worth, TDKR Catwoman ordered direct through Prime 1 to USA West Coast cost me around $180 for shipping from China. Your charges seem just a tad high.

I heard through the grapevine that shipping had changed, but didn’t think much of it at the time. When I got the bill, I was taken back.

My last Prime 1 order received from sideshow was the 1/3 Superman. Shipping was $50. This is a huge change

Holy hell, I guess that's another reason I can't afford to get into 1/3 scale.

Receiving a big pallet of stuff through a freight shipper across country is less money.
