Amazon US items (available to us)

It seems to be that the weights are all wrong. Having a look in the information section, hardshell comes up as weighing 8.9 pounds. Which according to a handy online weight converter is 4 Kilos. Something tells me that aint right.

Whereas Springer and blitzwing are about 12 ounce = 340 grams.

Sigh. Why do they get so wrong??

Hmm, it appear Slystalker is coming up as 8.9 pounds as well. Not that he is available from Amazon anyway (But I bet he isn't 4 kg!!), but maybe there is some default weight thing that averages 8.9 pounds or something?

Same with BH Ratchet. They are all 8.9 pounds!

I never realised it actually lists the weights on the listing.
Since most orders are to Americans which get free shipping, most of their customers would never even notice to question it.


Voyager Springer is not by Amazon, so the person selling it through Amazon is charging/scalping at whatever they want.

it looks to me like most of the weights have been fixed up.

Not the three Cmdrs... yet.
I got a reply email saying that because I was in Australia, shipping is expected to be more.
It just seemed like a lengthy automated reply based on the options I picked as my subject heading... so totally missed the point of checking the actual weights listed on the four items and fix them, as asked in the body of my email.

Yeah, same with something else I linked too, I only used it for the weight reference. I wonder if contacting them and pointing that out would fix the issue all over. I Haven't got any interest in ordering at the moment, but would mention when next looking at stuff.
