$16 for priority for over seas sounds about right. Thats a complaint I would register with USPS and not RSC. He's saying that he paid $16 and he live in the states, he's just theorizing that it's going to be higher overseas. I think the shipping costs have now been covered enough in this thread, I'm going to bow out for now. See ya guys elsewhere exactly

Where do you live that you paid $16 for 1 MOC figure to be shipped? You paid $12 for 1 MOC figure to be shipped?

I think RS prices are insane! You need to keep in mind that Ringside can't order in bulk like Toys R Us, Walmart, Kmart, Target, and so on, which means it costs them more to purchase the figures from Mattel. If they priced their stuff the same as Walmart, they probably wouldn't be able to make enough money to keep the doors open. It seems like a lot of people on here think that Ringside is eBay. It's not. It's an actual business. Just having the website itself costs money. Buying product costs money. Having Mattel ship the product to them costs money. Having a warehouse to receive the product in costs money. Having employees to deal with the product costs money. Hosting a subsequent forum costs money. Getting the exclusives we love costs a lot of money. Getting the rights to sell it early costs money. They have a significant amount of overhead you all don't take into account. The pricing may be high, sometimes outrageously so (I'm looking at you E20 Jericho), but there is a reason. I'm willing to bet that all the stores that buy in tremendous bulk are charging less than the suggested retail price. Well, there's my two cents, which amounts to nothing.

The only thing that bugs me about RSC is their shipping rates and if you order enough and use the discount that's not even an issue. The fig prices are fair especially if you wait for them to restock.

mine is 16 dollars for shipping. Overseas has gotta be higher than that if I'm in the states and mines 16 bucks $16 for priority for over seas sounds about right. Thats a complaint I would register with USPS and not RSC. last time I bought from RSC, I got 12 figures all MOC, a mix of elites and basics. Delivered to Australia in under 2 weeks was $90. Not cheap but not overly expensive. Especially considering some people on eBay try to sell 1 MOC figure delivered to Australia for $40-$60

Seriously. I don't have a huge problem with their prices most the time.. but it's still the shipping that gets me, I can't help but feel like there shipping is double the price of almost any other site I buy from. I get shipping for $5

Are they forcing anyone to buy it from them? Would I spend that much on a figure like Fandango? No, I would just wait until retail. But they need to make back their money somehow especially when people cherry pick the sets. Nobody complains when RSC has to sell the rest of the wave at $8 or under each during their many sales. If you order the whole set and use the discount code it's usually around the same as retail.
