I want to order some from EE, but they want $17 to ship me 5 figures. I just can't.
I'm going to wait for them to show up on Amazon or Target where the shipping is free.
I can appreciate your feelings about the shipping costs. I don't like it either, but it has started to come across to me as the cost of doing business. Spread across 13 figures, the $17 shipping seems high, but not exactly egregious. Especially since the order may be spread over several different shipments.
While EE isn't exactly super fast with their cross country shipping, I feel like I'm still benefiting. The quality of what I receive is excellent in terms of condition - Amazon is a crapshoot there. EE's order fulfillment seems much more expedited compared to Pulse. And I'm STILL waiting on a number of Target and Walmart preorders that seem like they're shipping in kind of a haphazard way.
...and I don't have to run around all over the area trying to track down new figures.
