I noticed their shipping seemed to be more than previously, but then I received items from them within a week of being notified they had been sent.
Maybe they've eliminated surface mail as an option.
Their shipping costs are still the same price for Antarctica and Australia so doubt there’s a GST cost in their pricing.Quote:

RK do charge higher price for shipping but they also use more padding material & labour for their parcels.
Shipping cost did go up a few years back. Not sure if has gone up again in recent times.
Maybe because of the stupid GST thing?Quote:

That's not even allowing for the extra shipping cost given the greater weight.
My order arrived today. Exactly as it normally does prior to the GST thing. So that’s good news.

It's been many years since I bought anything from Robotkingdom. I came to this thread to ask about postage costs and see there was a bit of discussion last year.
When I have items in my cart I can get that estimate - does what they actually charge differ or is always what the estimate says?
You can always proceed to the last step which shows actual costs before committing
Just did that - and the estimates were close. ThanksQuote:

While cheaper product wise from entertainment earth the shipping was just as bad I noticed with those, no local options, and I fear bbts won't be much better.Quote:

Ratchet up again
So New Zealand has once again followed Australia and made retailers overseas collect GST on purchases; does RK collect GST on shipments for Australia?
My test shipments after the 1st Dec would indicate they don't, but obviously I didn't want to complete the purchase of my random items to fully test.
They don't collect GST on shipments to Australia.Quote:

I want to pre-order but it'd be the only thing and that'd be expensive.
Yeah. About $50 delivered. It's a bit expensive for a Deluxe.Quote:

Thrust is already gone.
Unfuckingbelievable!!!
I keep forgetting that Deluxes cost so much these days. And they are getting smaller to boot.Quote:

Welp, just pre-ordered him. I do think I'll have to cut back next year though.
Edit: ended up being $54 thanks to card conversion. Ah well
Tigatron is up for preorder

Hope they put up studio series 78 up soon as i messaged them about it saying they are getting them and stay tuned
Airmail and ems suspended
Surface mail still going
My EMS shipment has been returned to sender after sitting for 6 days waiting for a flight. I?ve asked RK for a refund. I?ll get the figure I ordered elsewhere.
Ems has returned but its limited to 2kg
Minerva preorders are up at RK. Shipping was as much as the figure itself for me. But sure beats ebay pricing.

Thanks for the heads up Deltaprime. It also saves the stress of probably missing out, as its not listed on Zing, JBhifi, or anywhere else. Bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
