But I WAS serious about the leaflet campaign

Outnerded.

Outnerded.

I get that English is maybe not your first language. It wasn't a political statement OR a knock against your country.

Yes, apologize if I made mistakes. I didn't want to answer sharply or rude.

Not a problem my friend - the combination of different languages AND differing humour in countries means things will sometimes get misunderstood.

We're good

What the hell is "dimensional weight" ?!?!

.

Dimensional weight is a calculation of a theoretical weight of a package. This theoretical weight is the weight of the package at a minimum density chosen by the freight carrier. If the package is below this minimum density, then the actual weight is irrelevant as the freight carrier will charge for the volume of the package as if it were of the chosen density (what the package would weigh at the minimum density). Furthermore, the volume used to calculate the dimensional weight may not be absolutely representative of the true volume of the package. The freight carrier will measure the longest dimension in each of the three axis (X, Y, Z) and use these measurements to determine the package volume. If the package is a right-angled rectangular box (cuboid), then this will be equal to the true volume of the package. However, if the package is of any other shape, then the calculation of volume will be more than the true volume of the package.

Dimensional weight is also known as DIM weight, volumetric weight, or cubed weight. Freight carriers utilize the greater of the actual weight or dimensional weight to calculate shipping charges. Dimensional weight is calculated as (length × width × height) / (dimensional factor). Measurements can be made all in inches or all in centimeters, but the appropriate shipping factor must also be used.

Shipping factors for imperial measurements represent cubic inches per pound (in3/lb) while metric factors represent cubic centimeters per kilogram (cm3/kg). These are the inverse of the package density. Dimensional weight is applied when the actual product density is less than the minimum density represented by the chosen factor. Dimensional weight is representative of the weight of the package at the minimum density accepted by the freight carrier.[3] Shipping factors are not only different for imperial and metric measurements, but also for shipment mode and in some cases between different customers. Shipping factors will be available from the freight carrier. Some common factors are listed below.

Imperial shipping factor examples:

166 in3/lb = 10.4 lb/ft3 - common for IATA shipments
194 in3/lb = 8.9 lb/ft3 - common for domestic shipments
216 in3/lb = 8.0 lb/ft3
225 in3/lb = 7.7 lb/ft3
250 in3/lb = 6.9 lb/ft3
Metric shipping factor examples:

5000 cm3/kg = 200 kg/m3
6000 cm3/kg = 166.667 kg/m3
7000 cm3/kg = 142.857 kg/m3
When calculating the dimensional weight with metric measurements, the length, width, and height are measured in centimeters (cm) and the result is stated in a nominal kilogram (kg) dimensional weight band (usually rounded up).

You did ask

So funny - I was just reading the Wikipedia page - it links to a FedEx calculator that is in German

A few more from Chinese collectors...
Thinking not going to post any more pics from now on, cuz very soon we will be able to see them from our forum members.

I'd never get bored looking at pictures of this beast!

Same here - thanks AGAIN darkmummy!

SO not going to cancel this - regardless of the OTT shipping charges to Canada - if I did, I know I'd regret it and would forever be trying to get one later.

You have to question how YOUR source can possibly make a profit Col ?

My £950 order looks like a steal now.

My £950 order looks like a steal now.

According to XE.COM, £950 GBP = $1155 USD right now - so you got it cheaper than the $1200 Sideshow price AND shipping to you is included?

Yup. Shipped!

 

[Heavy Metal Spike]

Yup. Shipped!

Good for you - you DESERVE this! That means (between cheaper bust cost & no Sideshow shipping) you saved about $422 USD / £350 GBP.

No import taxes either?

However, I feel REAL bad for Matt and the other European guys - not to mention the Aussies!

I ordered mine through a dealer here in Oz . "Popcultcha" They are the cheapest option Iv'e found.

Certainly after Sideshows crippling shipping quotes.

$1800 AUD delivered to my door. (Free shipping) Using XE.com rates $1370 USD approx.

If you use the exchange rates and add the 15% import duty you get slugged, it comes out pretty close to that figure.

I ordered from collectibles direct also if that's who you're referring to? I think I remember us ordering from the same place anyway.

I assumed postage would be added on upon this arriving in stock? Is it included in the price?! We did get a steal for sure if so.

[Collectorcol]

That's the shipped price.

 

[uscmhicks]

Well that's good to know because I'll have it paid off in a few days. Saves me expecting another unwanted payment come shipping time.

Hi Guys,

Has anyone from Canada figured out a better way of getting this than ordering from Sideshow?

Thanks
