>>9875719McFarlane sells shit through wholesale, where their toys are picked up through a third party at the docks and MAYBE stored in a local warehouse.
Retailers like Target and Walmart might pick up their own personal cases at the docks, if not at the warehouse. Distributors also do the same thing.
So companies like Mattel, McFarlane and Hasbro never touch, muchless see, 99% of their toys that come into the US.
Nevermind the shipping companies they do use would probably be Jose's Speedy Freight Shipping, which wouldn't count toward getting discounts from UPS, USPS, DHL, etc that ship to your home.
So again, they'll never handle the volume stores like amazon, walmart and target get. They don't even handle the volume of sales entertainment earth or dorkside deals with.
They probably get the same amount of orders a store like
theleatherguy.com does.
