    Nice. I don't buy many, mainly just faction logos. But I imagine that they're quite popular so as a suggestion maybe you could keep on-hand stock for some of the more popular sheets?

    Will be much easier to support if sourced locally.

    I'm a HUGE Reprolabels fan and buy from them as often as I can afford it. That said, 2 questions:
    1. Would this new system add to the postage costs at all? The flat rate postage currently used is a good deal, especially for large orders.
    2. Wouldn't the new system not necessarily speed up the process? Like if I order but they are waiting on other orders to be made before they send it out, meaning I may wait weeks/months anyway?
    To be honest, the longer wait times for post currently don't bother me, as I'm very confident in Reprolabels customer care. I've never had an order disappear, and they are brilliant with communication and keeping customers in the loop. That said, the more they expand their business in Australia, the better off us Aussie fans will be so more power to them!

    I would definitely order more frequently. At the moment I tend to group all my labels into one big order like twice a year.

    I was about to ask the same question, but also what happens if you are the only one that has ordered for a few weeks do they have a quota to fill before they send out a group purchase?

    Don't get me wrong it would be awesome if they had a bigger presence in Australia, but I would be just as happy if stayed how it is now and as said before they are great to deal with.

    I've bought reprolabels before and the shipping can take ages. One time it took 2 months to receive my g1 Chromedome stickers + faction symbols, and I emailed the reprolabel crew to make sure they didn't forget my order. They were generous enough to send me a 2nd set in case my order got lost in the mail (which I also received). Nowadays I'll only bulk order stickers if there's more than 3 types that I desperately want.

    If we can start to get reprolabels locally, I'll definitely be all for it

    If it would see a reduced cost for postage then yes I would likely buy a lot. At this stage I would say the cost has been prohibitive for me. I would rather spend my money on bots than sticker sheets but if the prices came down (be that reduced postage or use of $A instead of $US) then I would definitely buy some.

    I've always found their shipping incredibly cheap and reliable, and envelope orders come through in a matter of four or five weeks. That's speedy to me, and still faster than many USPS parcels I receive. But hey, if they think there's s business case for it and it doesn't push up shipping prices much, sure.

    But I really love the dirt cheap shipping, and if they offered a CHOICE I'd go for the envelope price everytime.
    On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!
