Question in regards to BBTS shipping

[BigTransformerTrev]

With BBTS, depending on the shipping option you choose, there's generally a significant upfront cost of shipping, and then any additional items are added on a per pound basis.

With preorders, I think they estimate the postage on the assumption that it will be a brand new order, however when charged (assuming you have a Pile of Loot already started) you will just be charged the additional pound cost, and not the upfront portion of the costs.

Thanks for that. I sent them off an email last night but they have yet to respond. I missed out on grabbing a Masterpiece Sideswipe for my POL while they were in stock when researching this problem and now have to wait to for them to restock. And Im on a countdown, my wife may give birth any day now so have to get my final big order in before she pops!

With BBTS, they generally charge you full cost of shipping for the first item, then the additional cost of (combined) shipping for further items. That way, your order is always fully paid for and you don't have to pay extra when you ship your pile.

With preorders, they don't charge you until the preorder is in stock, so they'll probably adjust the shipping cost then.

The last lot I shipped was $23.99 up front, then $6 per pound on things added later.
