Just received a 828$ shipping quote to Italy, unless they offer me a reasonable solution, I will cancel my order, especially because, after seen the production piece, it looks far away from the prototype paint schema... no way to pay 3K€ for this piece

I got a quote for $757 for Standard shipping. I sent them an email requesting they change it to Economy shipping.

? UK / Italy and also Canada with same price ?

If I where you I would ask clarification about these quotations, bcs all over the world with exact same price is fishy.

Maybe junior salesperson used the standard online shipping calculators etc, of course sometimes show ridiculous prices. But Prime should use their UPS/TNT/FedEx contract person. I assume they get company discounts with high volumes every month.

Yeah pretty much, since it's too sizeable boxes it's somewhat understandable. If I had to pay standard rates like some of the others I'd cancel :|

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

That’s a great price to FL, back when Sideshow shipped P1 Doomsday to me, they took $275 out of me and I was fuming. Just have to accept shipping big boxes is gonna cost big money.

Just got my update... $828 LOL! At least they actually emailed me this time rather than just upping the price without telling me and charging it as they did with my City Hunter. Obviously I'm not paying this. If I wasn't so disappointed, It'd be almost funny.

Yea, for $275 shipping, you could buy a 1/4 scale PCS Street Fighter statue for that... They're getting away with murder these days on shipping prices...

It's a real shame for the guys who ordered this guy and have to cancel, due to rediculous cost to get it to their doors. I know I'd be pissed. They better figure out a solution, or they're gonna begin to sink...

Yeah - because Canada is on a different continent to the USA (not)

Mine was sent today as $836.00 USD to Vancouver, Canada - what a joke.

Needless to say - cancelled - and based on the way they have behaved recently, I won't be doing business with them going forward (that's 10K+ USD they've so far lost from me).

Same here. I'm done with Prime1. I have to wait until the 19th to hear back from them as I had to force a refund from Paypal for my Deposit. I sent them a Documents of the shipping increase and told them that this was unacceptable. I hope Paypal sees things my way and reverses the deposit. Shady sketchy goings on if you ask me Prime 1. I Don't see why I need to Get paypal involved just to get my money back if they are all pro.
