Re: G.I. Joe Classified Series 6 inch discussion

That would be new considering I only got a package just before Christmas and it was FedEx. Sounds like sending Pulse an email would answer the question the fastest.

I checked Pulse earlier today, and it says they ship to Canada with FedEx. You can check their site to see if they changed that.

As for DHL fees, there shouldn't be any if you've already paid the taxes to Hasbro Pulse, since the package is pre-cleared.

As for Hasbro Pulse free shipping, I think their minimum is $75 USD, which is more than GameStop's $75 CAD. I tried to order two Angel figures on Pulse today, and it was charging $6.99 USD for shipping. With three Angels, the shipping was free.

Exactly. Amazon Japan uses DHL no issues. It all depends where the fees are covered.

FedEx, UPS or DHL can all charge those fees. They aren’t DHL exclusive

Thanks. indeed it does say Fed Ex. Hoping this is the case and the Facebook poster was incorrect some how. Want to keep my options open for the dreaded Edge revamp from GameStop.

I hear that.

I've done the math a couple of times on the inevitable end of the party at Gamestop coming soon vs Pulse pricing...in one hand the discount is killing them slowly, on the other removing the discount means losing a good chunk of it's customer base.

Looks like it could be a lose-lose for them.

Finally got Mole Rat. Got it from AliExpress since Walmart canceled mine. Ended up costing less than Walmart cause of the sales on AliExpress.

Is the edge discount really that bad for them? The 10-15% discount isn't even that much and as customer you're basically just paying what you would be paying without edge discount before tax.

Ehhh, I just found out about this last weekend when I tried to renew my Edge level, lol. I hope they're not going to drop it!
