Honestly just email them. It's easy as balls.
Between the shipping cost and the "brokerage fee" about $4 but the figures will also show up in 24 hours. Either way a $100 package will have the same cutoms charged - so that is a 0 factor. If I am going to have to pay duty on May product, I want to save any $ I can and as a bounus have delivery in 24 hours - I do like having the figures BEFORE sale date!
You can email them, they will need last four CC number / exp date / security number / confirm delivery address and stated shipping method. Then give them about 3-4 days for a confirm e-mail.
Just saw the shipping on Matty for this month INTERNATIONAL POST WILL BE $38.00!!! DHL is $30 so it will start with $8 cheaper and then $2 on customs fees....so it will be $10 cheaper with DHL and a lot quicker!

I change my May sub to Express shipping and got my confirmation today. The may figures go for $100with a $26.85 shipping charge. Can anyone tell me what International Post is for the May sub?

I cannot understand why international mail will cost more than DHL. Simply doesn't make sense.
38.00 bucks to ship 4 figures.. and 3 of them are in one packagedamn!!! 9.50 a figure it works out too..
i just shipped 5 figures to Iowa and it cost me 26.00 expedited 4-7 days with tracking... they can say what ever they want but man.. they being Matty or most likely DR is making a tonne of cash on shipping... i gather there's a better margin in shipping then making action figures
i mean just doing the numbers.. almost 40% of the value is just for shipping.. that is NUTS!

I'll be very curious as to what the extra charges are for May for those of you who switched to DHL.

I know in a lot of cases like that, shipping it close to the border and then picking it up is a lot cheaper. I wonder if that's what Canadian collectors are gonna have to do. I have a PO Box in Detroit that I ship my protein powder to, I think for the 2014 sub, I might have to give them a US address.
Religion = The Horde
Atheism = The Great Rebellion
That's a brilliant idea Stickfa, and even though the border is an hour away for me, I'm thinking about doing that too, especially in light of what happened with Canada Post yesterday.
The Conference Board's recommendations about those 'drastic' rate increases scare me.
Hopefully they take a long time to implement, or my collecting days will soon be over because I won't be able to afford the shipping.
I can't imagine being stuck with shipping options that only include the 'brokerage' fees on top of handling charges, meaning we would get hit with customs on every item (like how we all got hit with DHL paying customs on our items, then charging us that one month).

I'm thinking of doing that and I live 4.5 hours from the border... if we do end up getting the option for quarterly shipments, it'll be worth it to me to drive to either Niagara Falls or Ogdensburg to get my figures. Plus I'll grab myself some Vanilla Coke while I'm there.
If there's anyone between North Bay and Niagara Falls, NY who wants to save shipping and have me pick up their figures in the US and drop them off to you, we can work a deal.

I just ordered a Batman Legacy Mr. Freeze from BBTS and shipping to Canada was $2. I added it to my pile of loot, which contains a full case of 3 Predator figures, and the total shipping for all 4 figures was $19.
Meanwhile, I pay $38 from Matty. Honestly I dunno if I'll even bother keeping the sub, man.

It is obvious that anything over 2 figures is most likely going to get hit for customs from Matty, which unfortunately is correct, there is nothing WRONG with what is happening....I am going to make sure Matty keeps my Filmation sub SEPARATE from my Classics sub come July....more work for them...cheaper for me...

I'm fine paying customs, it's the DHL handling fee that ****** me off.
