I was interested in some of the deals offered by Prime 1 until I got to check out with the shipping prices.
The way I look at it, they are baiting customers with aggressive pricing on old product but still have the bottleneck of high shipping prices. Let's not forget some of the youtube experiences about shipping issues and additional costs such as Importer licenses.
Is Prime 1 trying to help with shipping with sale prices on old stuff? Ultimately the final prices are just not that great for a long wait and the risks. What if something is wrong or broken? Good luck there.
So why high shipping prices? Price gouging? Victim of low quantity but large dimensional packages thus a low tier export customer?
Prime 1 really needs to invest in regional warehouses or work more with their distribution partners.
They make some of the best statues but this economy is going to sink them if they don't get it together.
Lobo for under $1000 but shipping to the US $1000?
Enjoy the sales....
