Got a delay notice for May-June.
I also got this piece of ---- email from Sideshow:
Quote:
This is an update regarding your preorder TD****** for the Swamp Thing Statue from Prime 1 Studios.
Due to the size and weight of this product, it is considered an oversized shipment. This results in additional fees assessed by the carrier. As such, we wanted to provide you with a ship quote ahead of time.
The ship cost for your order will be $350 USD.
As always, please feel free to contact us if you have any questions regarding this matter.
Best Regards,
The Processing Department

$350 to ship this? That's $75 more than Doomsday!

Standard shipping from P1 to me in GA is $261 and for some reason is cheaper than economy lol. Also, it might even be in stock? Never too late to change stores and try to get that NRD back.

I got a 350.00 shipping quote to Texas. I’m calling BS. I think the customer is paying for Sideshows disagreement with Prime 1.
Direct shipping from Prime 1 to me is 291.00, that’s international shipping to Texas. WTF.

Lol, I wonder if that's why so many P1 statues shipped from SSC in the last 2-3 months have had issues. Sabotage?

I've received several messages in my FB group, as ell as from a fellow moderator that SSC wasn't providing a replacement.They all went to P1 who said they'd ship the replacement to SSC but SSC had to forward it to them, as per agreement.
They went back to inform SSC, who told them pretty much to piss off and no replacements would be given.
From how it stands at this moment, SSC seems to be squizing the lemon as hard as they can before the last P1 pieces are out of their portfolio.

How can collectors stay in this hobby when shipping is almost $400?

I want to cancel. I wonder if SS will refund the deposit due to crazy shipping costs.

Some won't. Those that do make fewer purchases or it makes buying from local shop far more attractive.
I'd pay 6% sales tax and miss out on 5% rewards if it means avoiding $400 shipping.
