I noticed on pre-orders (Hot Toys) there aren't anymore $10 shipping offers, at least nothing from the last 1-2 months.
this is disappointing because I know it doesn't cost the $20 they charge for shipping to send a 3-4 lb box from California to Illinois (since they don't double box). I can send it for $15 without any kind of mass volume discounted rate...
$20 off coupon with $10 shipping and 5% rewards was really the only thing that kept me buying some figures from them.
With the base price now at $230, that was like getting 9-10% off and free shipping.
Ebay constantly sends me 8-10% cash back offers and lots of sellers have figures for MSRP (or lower) with free shipping on there, making it the best place to buy them (which is sad when sideshow is the official distributor). Especially now that there are no more "sideshow exclusives".
okay end of rant
