Not figure related but NASCAR related. There's a certain sponsor that sponsors my favorite driver. Hats with this particular sponsored are typically not sold to the public and are mostly team issued only. Anyway I stumble across one of these racing hats from the sponsor's company store for a reasonable price. However the shipping was like double the price of the hat. I believe the shipping was $14 with a $20 minimum order. As much as I want to support my favorite driver, the $14 to ship a hat wasn't worth it.

In early April, I bought a loose Kid Kash figure off of eBay. It was shipped from Detroit to Chicago, and then it just needed to go to the south suburbs of Chicago. No updates for a week, and then it was in North Carolina for some reason. Then no updates again. At the end of May, it showed up in my mailbox. It was cheap, so I had already written it off as a loss.

I had a carded SS Ref Shane figure stomped so dang bad that there's a huge gash on his shoulder. I try to ignore it but it does make me want to get another one to replace it.

Longest wait was definitely Mr T from EE. Thankfully Mattel Creations Mr T was a very quick turnaround in comparison. Took exactly one month for T to arrive from EE, and took less than one week from Creations. EE is a joke, I preordered SDCC Mach last year, as soon as it went up, I ended up getting it like 4 months after their initial shipment, they kept giving me BS excuses

One time I ordered that white pants SummerSlam elite Matt Hardy. I got a repacked figure with the Elite 2 head, no interchangeable hands and no shirt. Someone ordered it, took what they wanted, returned it, and I got it when I purchased it. It has that "Amazon Inspected" sticker on it, too.
I've had some eBay sellers send me MOC elites in bubble mailers. Always gets me mad. No way that figure can arrive in good condition.
I don't usually collect MOC figures, but I've had a lot of figures from Amazon come with big round stickers in the center window of the box. This never bothered me because it was always on elites I planned on opening. Sometimes you can complain, though, and they'll give you a full refund and not even ask for the item back.

Itβs been about 3 years & I donβt remember exactly what figure it was but I ordered one on eBay from California....when the seller finally shipped it after 3 days (with tracking) it made it to Cincinnati Ohio in 2 days where it stayed for 4 days, then went to Pittsburgh Pa for 1 day....from PA it went to New Jersey, from New Jersey to Charleston WV in 2 days....from WV it went BACK to Pittsburgh where it stayed for 3 more days, then back to Charleston WV & finally after leaving Charleston the second time after 1 day it came up the road to me in Beckley 2 days later.... 18 days total, absolutely ridiculous ....itβs no surprise why things get lost in the mail these days
