Shipping costs for Sideshow 2018

[Indomitus]

I just saw the post in the PCS section regarding shipping cost increases in 2018 for PCS. This leads me to ask the question.....

Is Sideshow also going to be affected by shipping cost increases in 2018? Anyone know the possible rate change increase?

If so, if you are sitting on your hands about ordering that in stock piece from Sideshow, in 2018 you might just be paying a bit more. Just food for thought.

This has been a public service announcement.

Shipping is a joke if ship yourself or from a company. I have watched shipping quadruple from when I started collecting. Great to know we have more increase to deal with. Just got scammed by Fed Ex they broke my Gwen comiquette and refuse to pay. You would think with how much I have shipped they would have paid me. I am no longer a customer.

This might be your Gwen...

I can't file an appeal the scum e bay buyer won't respond to my e mails I needed more photo's that Fed Ex wants. He got his money now he no longer cares if I get mine. Scum e bay also with their lousy polices.

No offense but its not the buyers issue to get your money back and this is probably the worst time of year for communication.

This is why if I sell something I take pictures as I box up the item and maybe even video, because Fed Ex and UPS both require a ton of proof now-a-days.

Im shipping a lot as well and yes, prices are increasing and its crazy what I have to ask for shipping nowadays .. domestic and internationally ..

The real question is why parcel select even exists as an option. There must be some sweet of box size, weight, and distance where it makes sense to use this 5x slower shipping method to save a dime but I haven't found it yet. I have found that the Fedex option through eBay is often the best option for me, to the point I want to sell myself something for a penny to get the eBay discount and then ship gifts to relatives. Priority mail is insanely expensive now.

4.9% increase to UPS ground and FedEx Ground/home rates plus other changes that will increase shipping costs. International rates are increasing too..

Holy sh**

Glad I sold a bunch of pieces before January. I will be re-evaluating including shipping in my future sales.

Shipping for sure continues to increase and will be a major factor in collecting. Hell it already has. I had to cancel XM Beta Ray Bill losing my deposit because to ship to Canada was going to be approx. $500 and now my country introduced an additional import fee of 6% and then customs fees on top of that!

Hell, we bought a dog tag for my pup from the states, it costs $20 and between exchange, customs, import fees and taxes we ended up paying $50!!!!

Shipping has become outrageous.
