A3U for all TFs because they've always had lowest shipping, even if sometimes the markup is a bit over straight USD MSRP translation. Hell I can take an hour drive to get to their physical location just to pick my shit up if I feel like it.
BBTS for domestic figures because once again, even with the slight markup, the combined shipping makes up for it massively, and our distro is so fucking shit there's no point in going hunting IRL.
Imports I used to get from Manda and Amiami but since EMS shut down I've just given up. It isn't worth paying $40-$150 shipping on anything, far as I'm concerned. Hit the breaking point when I got an in-stock notification for a Legends Trypticon for $80. Went through the usual Manda process and they got back to me with a total shipping cost of $150 through DHL and no other options available. Only getting worse year over year with how the dollar continues to drop and the cost of food and living skyrockets. Genuinely wonder if this country is going to become unlivable soon. Not that anyone but the richest can afford to uproot and leave to the states or somewhere else, but it sure does feel great seeing our government making every possible decision to harm middle class people and then calling us entitled and evil.
>>9917169Nah. No governments care about the price of shipping if it isn't a large importer/exporter. If a large company bitches, they'll work directly with companies to leverage a better deal. Consumers can simply get fucked. Covid also allowed all shipping companies to gouge horribly at all levels, and despite the shipping issues being over, and have been over for months, they know they can keep charging because they keep raking it in.
