Add the figures to your cart and start the checkout process. Its not 1 set amount. They charge by what you order.

Please note however that they will offer you two choices of shipping at the end: International Express shipping and Priority International shipping, as where the last option is a little bit cheaper, but the delivery time is longer! |

1 figure cost me £18 postage before Christmas, using the cheap option (also shipped in a box that was 0.5cm smaller than the figure packaging itself causing damage to it).
And I ordered 7 figures from their New Year sale which cost £30 postage, again using the cheap option.
So depending on what you want to buy its probably best to look at some of the UK figure websites unless your after some ringside exclusives or something.

V. expensive! I got 2 x 3 packs, 2 x 2 packs and 1 x single figure and shipping doubled the order! Approx £30!! It is a rip-off but I got the figs in the sale so still worked out cheaper than UK online stores. Shipping in 9 working days was good too with full tracking  |

The shipping costs to the UK are absolutely pathetic, and unjustifiable.
Just to see what the cost would be, I added just one protective CS case to the shopping cart... and using the cheap option, it was going to be $50 !!! So for a $1.99 protective case, I'd have to pay $51.99 !!!
It's insane and absurd. Just for the shipping costs alone, I won't be ordering from RSC -- no other online store screws people over with shipping as badly as RSC does.
God bless.

Just for the shipping costs alone, I won't be ordering from RSC -- no other online store screws people over with shipping as badly as RSC does. God bless. Well, that seems very strnage to me I just did the same, ordering one protective case, and it needs to be shipped to The Netherlands. The cheapest shipping costs were $ 29,50. I mean, this is still a lot, but by far it does not reach the $ 50,- mark. And I am also guessing that they won't charge different shipping fees when it come to either shipping to the U.K. or The Netherlands, or at least, it does not make any sense at all if they did! Up untill now, I cannot say I have any complaints about RSC's shipping. Sure it's expensive, and when ordering figures that aren't on sale, I would never get a single (as in only one figure per order, unless it's an Exclusive) figure from them. But when it comes to their sales, combined the price is still unbeatable when trying to get them anywhere else in Europe. |

If I was you I'd just go to Wrestlingfigures . co. uk. Alot Better and In the UK. Shipping from any site to Europe from USA is expensive. Why just target RSC? WWE Shop is much more expensive, a 2 pack, single figure and a t-shirt cost me £27 shipping and £28.45 in duty costs when they were delivered Before Christmas. At least Ringside charge actual shipping. Having bought from them many times I know this for fact. |

Has anyone ever had to pay a customs charge for an RSC package?
EDIT: Nevermind. They just quoted me $77 for the cheap shipping or $106 for the expensive shipping. That'd be nearly $300 total for series 1 of the basics, elites and 2-packs. I'll leave it.

They marked it at a certain value and had no problems paying import duty which before I made the order was a concern. I still maintain if you buy in a sale where figures are reduced and you get an additional % off at checkout it works out cheaper per figure than any shelf warmer in a UK TRU or Tesco. But....RSC drop your shipping by 20% to UK & Europe & you'll see a MASSIVE increase in orders! |

Well lets take my 1/100 Sunny for example, that one figure on its own cost £18 using the cheap postage option from the USA to the UK. In the past I've sent a single figure, in its packaging from the UK to the USA for less than £6. Also I've bought things from the USA from either eBay or other members of these forums and they all charge a whole lot less for postage than RSC do, also the delivery time has been a lot less and the stuff I've bought comes undamaged. It's lucky for them that they get a lot of exclusive figures otherwise I doubt many UK collectors would bother with them which is a shame. If only they would sort out thier postage prices!  |

It's hit and miss when buying from any US store. I have managed to buy stuff from Amazon, eBay and the like with quite cheap shipping. But some other sellers on Amazon for instance want a hell of a lot more (e.g, last week I wanted to buy a set of 4 DVDs for $13 but they wanted $52 in shipping, so I said hell no.)

I've bought things from the US before and the shipping has been much more reasonable than on RSC. It doesn't need to be as high as it is to cover costs, they're just making extra profit out of it.
As someone else said if they dropped UK/European shipping by 20% then they'd get a lot more business.

Did you have to e-mail RSC for your tracking info, just I'd like to keep an eye on my order as to when I might roughly be receiving it as I need to get to it first, LOL. |

I will need to check the original email confirmation when I get to work tomorrow but 99% certain that the tracking number was included in the order...or I got a seperate email when dispatched with the tracking info. Drop them an email but I will check for you Monday Was it a big order? |

We're not allowed to talk about our local suppliers. RSC expects every WFUK member to not order from our sites but to pay about £30 for shipping to order from them.

I ordered 4 Basics Series 1 figures & All of the 2-Packs. |

If they lowered the shipping price then I would consider buying from them but right now the shipping prices are just outragous. |

Not $50 as you claim in your post. Also, you claim we are "screwing people over". I just checked the post office website to ship a 2lb package from the US to the UK. ircalc.usps.govThey state the cost for Priority Mail International 2lb package is $29.50. So you are stating we are "screwing people over". When in fact the shipping rate for this is exactly what the post office charges us. Do you really think we would not like to charge you a lower shipping rate that also offers fast and reliable service? If you know of such a service, please let me know and we will use it. |
