Tip for UK Collectors

[Racetrack]

Hate the 20% tax? Well i can't help you there. I do however have a small tip to save the £10.75 handeling fee FedEx charges on every order you get.

You need to call FedEx and open an account with them. Then give Sideshow your FedEx account number. When an order comes into the UK FedEx will automatically charge your credit card for the VAT but you won't be charged the £10.75 handeling fee. They will then send you a letter telling you how much you were charged. If you buy a lot of items from the US like i do then this can add up to a lot of money over the year. I wish i had known about this sooner but if this helps one person i will be happy.

I'm not sure but i assume EU collectors should be able to do the same.

Great tip, i would personally love to order from Sideshow more often for their rewards, flex and CS record, so might look into this.

Thanks!

You can sign up online, I haven't given Sideshow the account number but didn't get charged the fee for R2.

And the fee is £12 now
