Airmail from Canada

[Stealth_Trooper_Pablo]

ok, so i was browing the good old 'bay and i found a cheap blaster for sale, located in Canada. I messaged the chap selling it asking for shipping cost to mainland UK.

 

he quoted me $40 surface and $80 airmail!

 

i was just like "omg"

 

is this accurate in the slightest? heck my armour cost like $50 airmail form the US of A.

 

any insight on this please?

IMO, it's a shame how much people ask for shipping. May it be from US or Canada, people tend to try to get a few more bucks out of your pockets by overcharging the shipping. I am in Canada and it costs really not much to ship oversea or to the US .. I could even go to my post office and ask for you, if you want, lmk the weight and destination, I'll lyk! PM if you want!

 

I think you can see honest people by the price they charge for shipping. I was sent speakers from another tk here, and the shipping was the same as the us, which is pretty normal .. that's service my friend! )

the auction ends today and i have no idea how much a hasbro toy blaster weighs

 

i messaged him back asking if the quote was accurate (which it clearly isnt)

 

im never going to get my hands on a cheap blaster at this rate! super seriously considering making my own.

Thats way over the top dont buy, PM sent.

Wow, 40 bucks for shipping on a hasbro blaster? Don't do it. Have these blasters become hard to locate recently or something?

[Stealth_Trooper_Pablo]

the guy emailed back, he said the blaster was 0.8kg, dimensions 54cm x 21cm x 17cm. is this correct?

 

the postal service he is using-------------

 

i tried myself, and it does show up as $40 and $80 =S

 

what gives?

Amazon.com and hasbro.com both have them in stock for $20. I could see charging $10 shipping to the UK, but $40 is just a ripoff.

it should be more then 10 to 15 dollors and take any where from 10 to 12 days to get to you.

I don't believe this is accurate at all...Global priority mail from California to the UK doesn't break $20.00 unless the parcel weighs 10+ pounds

I don't think its worth it you should have it sent to someone in the US and then have them mail it out to you...It will probably be cheaper

I strongly suggest you make your own!!!! It is great fun and after all it is your work sweat and creativity, troop around see differnt blasters and then see what you and your wallet agree upon.
