Canadian MOTUC Shipping Discussion

[Highway]

Received Keldor, She-ra, and Faker today...fastest shipping yet! Wasn't really expecting these until next week so I was really surprised when my wife showed me the Canada Post slip for pickup.

[Stickfa]

got She-Ra Faker & Peter ... dont know when though, i was in the woods camping ..

[Eternian Poet]

Got Keldor.

He arrived in half the time than all my previous figures - 2 weeks instead of 4. I was pleasantly surprised - & what a vibrant & villainous looking figure! So characterful he hardly seems a re-paint.

And - well done Digital River! (for once)

My Keldor arrived today too. I was almost in shock to see it arrive so early.
IIRC, I got my shipping notice only 2 days after placing the order. I hope this trend continues.

Finally got my package. 3 weeks...and the UK got theirs first, again.
I don't know how that's possible, but whatever.

1 mailer box not taped = shield & sword stone glue exposure & more "surprised" brow vs. other = better shape & more "combat" brow ...also they seem a bit "sweaty" or going to be...

Well, the UK is 5 hours ahead of us.

Wow. I can't count.

[Opticon]

Got my sub Marzo today too, he's great. Fastest one yet, definitely cool.

[Whiplash7]

Got my non-sub Marzo today. Definitely the fastest yet. I wonder if it's b/c he was the only figure that was on sale? But still, a great improvement.

[xBBestx]

Mine came yesterday, and as others have said, quickest yet. Too bad it was the highest Customs charge, well nearly, by theory it was. I got a box full of Tytus' and whoever else came that month with only a $15 charge, yet on a box of 5 Marzo's I got charged $12.50. How the hell does that make sense. The pacakage even came with a C.O.D. on it, which is different then the customs paperwork that is usually attached. Makes me think the customs charges aren't going anywhere anytime soon. They must Flag Matty shipments coming into Canada now. Total crap. I order with friends to save on shipping, but with the customs charges we might as well order individually cause we only end up saving about $1, and then I have to drive them to everyone and spend the money on gas. Makes it not worth it.

I know it has to be easier for Mattel when fans order together in groups, so it would be nice if they helped accomodate us a bit and made efforts to get this stuff in without customs charges. I know they can't really lie about the cost, but there must be some way. When they were shipped with bags around the boxes they always seemed to come in without a customs charge.

Still waiting for my sub Marzo. The last couple figures have come very, very fast compared to a year ago, and I haven't had a customs charge for about three months now.
Up until that every single figure cost at least a few dollars in customs.

[marndt8448]

My Marzo arrived today via cheapest shipping method. Quickest shipping time yet!
Not sure if I've mentioned it before, but there's been a vast and steady improvement ever since my figures have been arriving from Mail On The Move in Philadelphia as opposed to Minnesota, when the figures used to take well over a month to arrive.

[Stickfa]

still waiting on marzo ... im hoping for tomorrow since you guys are starting to get yours .... still it's usually thursday it shows ....

[Panthor]

I was VERY surprised when Count Marzo was waiting for me in the mail yesterday. Normally, it takes a month for me to receive it in Ontario, and was very pleased to see it alot sooner than expected.

Hopefully, this is the start of a new trend and it won't take ages anymore to receive our figures.

EDIT: Since the start of the series, I've only been hit with customs charges about two times whereas all the others I didn't have to pay a dime. I'd love to know over at Customs how they determine who gets charged with fees and why others don't.

[Stickfa]

got marzo today! they are getting this down liek clock work. I can predict withing 2 days when he will show. This is good, very good.

[MattOnDemand]

Anyone with speedy Orko w/ Adam or Mo-Larr yet?

[a-star]

Still no Marzo. I was getting used to those two week-ish customs free deliveries.

Funny thing is, other people in this city have already gotten theirs. Maybe that's my due for getting to go to SDCC.
