Title: International Shipping
Post by: MiSha on January 10, 2011, 11:25:59 PM
I've asked the question in the announcements/ discount thread. Maybe it fits better in here:



For some time, I've been tempted to purchase a Prophesy saber as my first stunt and thought your special offer for (new) forum members a welcome opportunity.

However, I was kind of shocked by the fees charged for UPS shipping - the more, because UPS often charges extra fees in case of international shipping in the customs process (not the customs fees as such, but an additional fee for processing the shipments through customs).

According to the calculator, shipping to Europe for one Prophesy plus blade (worth USD 99.- ) is $ 57.-. That's more than half of the item's price. If I leave out customs (because that's a completely different cup of tea) but add the UPS customs processing fee of approx. $ 15.- ... well, you can see that this might scare some international customers away. At least, it's a dealbreaker in my book.

Therefore, instead of ordering a Prophesy right away, I'd like to ask if it's possible - or even planned - to offer at least one other shipping option for international customers, such as USPS Priority (comes with tracking and is at least $ 20.- cheaper + it has no hidden customs processing fee). TCSS offers USPS Priority, just to give an example. Why doesn't UltraSabers?

Email [email protected] and ask Emory about this, he runs the shipping crew.
