Re: Quick questions on Robotkingdom

I have only ordered once from them and the shipping was a bit higher, but wasn't unmanageable or anything. It was well packaged and arrived timely. It was a real easy, nice transaction.

Re: Quick questions on Robotkingdom

Considering a number of items from RK, never ordered from them before

Price of the items looks not too bad, though everyone in this ancient thread suggests RK shipping is bananas

There was a recent RK newsletter that suggests they are having a reduced shipping cost now, can anyone speak to this?

Re: Quick questions on Robotkingdom

Prices for Transformers are pretty good, but shipping is usually pretty expensive (but they deliver quickly). They're more for convenience if you can't find what you're looking for anywhere else.

Re: Quick questions on Robotkingdom

I stopped buying there a long time ago, their shipping fees are just crazy. I can get the stuff I want elsewhere for less and just as fast.

Re: Quick questions on Robotkingdom

Heya, I'm "necroing" this thread because I wanted to know if they have actually lowered their shipping costs as it was something mentioned in an earlier post?


Also, I have a couple other questions.


1. Do they ship with the pins that you don't get if you buy from somewhere like A3U?


2. What is the duty on these things, if I get hit? Does anyone know the percentage?


3. If you do ask them to declare a lower value, what normally gets through without getting nicked? I know this is sort of a guess and I'm sure everyone's experience is different, but I thought I'd ask.

Edit: I noticed for pre-orders they show the full price. Do they charge the full price right away for a pre-order?


Thanks!

shipping cost - go to check out to get your total with ship, there's no way to answer this since they set prices themselves.


pins - you should ask them, nobody here can say what a retailer in hong kong will ship with your order



duty - heres the CBSA duty calculator.

theres no magical number or way of knowing if you will pay duties. Ive personally never paid duty on stuff that uses regular shipping (Canada post) while fedex and puro will likely charge.

Re: Quick questions on Robotkingdom

Thanks. It was just that some people speculated, and I would expect that, when you consider the distance, it's probably true, that it's probably a flat rate to anywhere in Canada.


Of course, I can't say that for sure.

Re: Quick questions on Robotkingdom

they will declare whatever you like. just attach it in the comments. under $50 usd usually doesn’t get taxed but ymmv. preorders are full price and being in hong kong they get distribution from hasbro asia which gets the pins etc

your welcome

Re: Quick questions on Robotkingdom

I had a weird message from them, I ordered something and paid for Regular Air Small Parcel, and now they want more money for EMS.

This issue has been addressed as on of the first things in their weekly email notifications.

They are at the mercy of the Hong Kong post which during these times is not shipping out to certain countries so they have been switching to EMS and asking for the difference in the shipping price to make sure that you can get the item.
