Did postage go up from last year?

Seems even more exceedingly unreasonable than before.

Don't forget, Fatbot is quoting postage for 3 subscriptions there. not just one.

I've had a look at my bank account, the first sub cost me 416.44 and it contained 5 deluxes and a Voyager and that included the insurance.

the second sub will be (US$406) approximately AU435. it has 4 deluxes, a scout and whatever size class the waspinator is. plus a mystery figure that will probably be another scout.
it also includes 3 Arms micron Figures. Which I may or may not keep. along with the wasp dude.

in US$ it's probably about $10 - $20 cheaper than last time with less plastic overall but with some fantastic molds. Our weaker exchange rate makes it a bit more expensive.

Last year had the following figures...

Set of figures - $282 (this year is $3 cheaper, but we have no Voyager figure this time... 2 Scouts only equals a Deluxe, so is effectively a price rise)

Shipping last time...
Priority Mail International - $234.60 ($39.10 per figure)
First-Class Mail International Parcel - $113.28 (18.88 per figure)

Shipping this time...
Priority Mail International - $245.70 ($40.95 per figure)
First-Class Package International - $106.50 ($17.75 per figure)
(no express mail option this time, which was even more expensive - I guess no one used it as it was just doubling the cost, for a saving of just 2 or 3 days)


So the Priority rate is slightly higher than last year, but the First Class rate is slightly cheaper.
In the end, at least the total cost is less than last year. Not by much, but at least with a smaller "mass" of toys this year, it didn't end up costing more than last year (which would have been price-gouging).

Wow - I was debating whether to get the figures or not when I logged in, but that price description just cinched me passing. Half these figures are not worth a hell of a lot more to me than the postage price itself, let alone having their actual price on top of it . Especially since we are getting some scout class in there and no Voyagers. I think like last time, I will have had my club membership for a total of a year and then will let it lapse

P.S: Anyone getting security warnings on the TCC FSS link on their site at the moment? I have nearly every time!
