Stealth_Trooper_Pablo Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 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! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BactaReality Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Wow, 40 bucks for shipping on a hasbro blaster? Don't do it. Have these blasters become hard to locate recently or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth_Trooper_Pablo Posted April 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 (edited) 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?

SuperTrooper Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. my 2 pesos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
