These shipping prices are way out of hand..I don?t care how big the box is..it cost me $300 to have a Reclining loveseat and Couch shipped to me, and that was also brought into my house, and old furniture moved out.
Shipping will be the end of this hobby if this keeps up.

Excellent Job Gentlemen! Way to push getting a discount going. IMHO I believe SS was listening reading these last few pages. Clearly you can see consumer sentiment was great but price with shipping was killing this deal. I’m proud of this forum today. After the years of talking about price and elasticity and the back and forth of consumers make the price etc.

Kudos to sideshow too! TRICKY TO GET A DEAL DONE, BUT I Respect that

Shipping indeed is making a good spread for SS, but with the discount, and the rewards I had plus the rewards you get back it made sense for me. I?m very close to them and shipping was still $400+ plus taxes $73.50. I checked shipping from prime 1 before completing my order and it would have been $300. So ss is already making $156 off shipping and putting it into their pocket or somewhere. Who knows.

All in all, truth is in 2023 it will be very tricky to move these statues around with increased shipping rates and the already pumped up market.

People are going to be strapped for cash.

Happy to see sideshow being smart and getting the jump on things to move their inventory out of warehouses and into customers hands.

At the end of the day people have cash. They just aren?t going to throw it around unless they feel they are getting deals.

Hoping to see maybe PCS Ronin and some others that have been over priced unnecessarily in the 25% list soon.

Juicy Lugnuts I think you should call sideshow first thing Tuesday and let them know what?s going. Let them know you already canceled the order out of spite because they literally put it on sale right after you ordered it. Ask them is they can honor this deal based on your situation and grief. I think its something you should fight for and they should consider if they are smart.

Good luck.

Absolutely ridiculous.
I wonder if this is a result of speed rushing the black and grey version. Makes me like the blue one I have more. Sorry about your bad luck son.

I strongly considered this with that sale and would have bought it if shipping was half of what they were actually charging. Oh well.

Yea, I would have also, but with that shipping it makes it almost the same as getting from P1 direct without the sale as they were a couple hundred cheaper shipping plus no tax.
