pvccard.expert. Let's look at his/her God Valkyrie. The shipping (from hong kong to NJ) is anywhere from July 19th to August 2nd. It also costs $20 on ebay when on Toymatters it costs $16 (boosters cost $12, starters are $16)
OK, let me get this straight--you're comparing koreantoyshop selling grip + BeyLauncher LR to Toy Matters selling grip + a
different launcher? BeyLauncher LR is a more expensive launcher. And it's $25 vs $21 (because shipping), for two totally different things.
Winning Valkyrie for pvccard.expert is $20. Toy Matters is $23 with shipping. Which one was cheaper again? Right, the eBay seller who includes shipping in the total.
As for shipping time: Toy Matters here suffers the same risk that eBay and other import buys do that customs might greatly delay their arrival--which is totally outside of the seller's control. eBay sellers may list longer estimates to cover their butts for ignorant buyers who don't understand this. So just because Toy Matters says 2 weeks doesn't necessarily mean it, and most imports I've had took less than 2 weeks. Always less than 3.
So no, I don't see Toy Matters being cheaper. And their shipping is no faster. They just list prices without shipping and they don't let you know that there is a possibility that it may come late from customs (totally outside of their control, by the way).
Let me know if I've misunderstood you in any way or you think I missed something. But so far, Toy Matters costs more (unless you buy multiple) and takes just as long because it's the same post office system as koreantoyshop.
For the US, the
ePacket shipping Hong Kong sellers use is listed as taking 7-10 days, barring customs being a jerk. Customs usually takes me about 3 days. I think it usually takes me...12 days or so, in total?
