Don't think it's a new thing. I've had many orders since the beginning of the year and the shipping costs have varied from $10 to $19 per item (excluding those that had free shipping). All say "flat rate" next to the amount on the invoice though.Originally Posted by ZoonMaster5000

I thought that too but I went back through all 13 of my Orders/pre-orders and they are all $10 maybe I should start paying a bit more attention!

Maybe it depends on the overall size/weight. Are these large items?
Just tried putting Laserwave into their shopping cart, and shipping comes up to $17.

Some large and heavy some small didn't really matter. I just duplicated a purchase I had made a few months back which was $28 shipping it's now $43.
I'll ask him about it next time I need to speak to him

Ordered FT-12 and a set of the Unique Toys Sharkies from TFI Downunder on 25th September. Received the order receipt and it's been in "Processing" ever since.
Admittedly this is a new figure that's only been shipping from major US seller's for a week or two so I have no idea when it will drop on Australian shore's.
However I've been unable to get a response from them via the Contact page on their website or by emailing their info@tfidownunder.com address. I'm now trying posting on the forums here and will try a PM.
Also I got charged $42 shipping for sending these to Sydney!!
That's comparable to International shipping from Japanese or US seller's.
This was my first time buying from an Australian retailer. I've bought from TFDirect, Chosen Prime, Robot Kingdom, Chimunmung, Hobbylink Japan and have several pre-orders with Nippon Yassan and AmiAmi and so far it's not stacking up well in comparison.
Hopefully I'll get a response from them either through email or from post's on the board here. I'm also probably going to order FT-09 Tesla from them so I'll see how they go with an "in stock" order

i wouldn't bother with Tesla.
They put up a FB post this afternoon stating that they will be giving refunds to all customers who ordered it.

Woah. Thanks for the heads up. I was going to order Tesla next week once I got paid. Now I either look elsewhere or place an order for Tracks... hmmn decisions. Tracks won't arrive for weeks yet, so no rush to order him... but...
Also looks like TFI update through Facebook rather than there storefront or email. That sucks but I've posted there as well for an update. Looks like they've had a few shipping/ delivery issues recently...

Their postage rates do seem to be higher than other Aus retailers

grenadier hasn't hit aussie shores yet from what i've seen.
yes TFI update their facebook page with all of their incomings and expected arrivals. they've implemented a stickied notice that they seem to keep fairly well updated - probably to avoid having to deal with all of the emails from customers eager for their pre-orders asking when things will arrive.
TFI recently asked for payments to be finalised for grenadier. typically the next step is once they have the money, they pay the invoice with their suppliers, and the shipment starts sending to them. Until then, we just wait for them to update the sticky post.
but if you do manage to get a response on your order, please do share

Hey all,
I want to buy a FT 09 Tesla, but a lot of people have been giving TFI some average feedback recently, should I use them or no?
I prefer using Auzzie stores, which I was wondering, as TFI seems to be the only one who has Tesla.
Thanks
