Re: Anyone here order from BBTS?

BBTS is great, especially for the selection and Pile of Loot. The only real draw back is the exchange rate and customs, which I always get hit with when I order from them.

Re: Anyone here order from BBTS?

Before placing an order, check carefully the final cost and the duties you will have to pay. As far as I know, they change rules on duties quite often. I have ordered delivery and was unpleasantly shocked by the sum of duties I had to pay. Get more info to avoid the same situation. And the delivery costs were moderate, though, I cannot say it is very cheap. Knowing weight, you may check it online yourself.

I think it's because it has "Store" in the name. No proof or anything, but I have noticed if the site has "store" or "shop" in the name it seems to be hit by customs more often

Re: Anyone here order from BBTS?

I do find that I get hot with customs more often when ordering from BBTS, and not sure if anyone else experienced this but I had an order go from shipped to returned due to delivery failure and when I contacted them about it they simply said I should have paid for the more expensive shipping option. I try to order from megalopolis or actionfigureHQ now.

Re: Anyone here order from BBTS?

Frankly speaking, I have ordered only from Amazon and eBay. I prefer to search for the best prices here since I don't seek for having the newest toy collection as soon as they got released. I don't mind waiting for a couple of weeks or even months. Especially when you can play and relax differently. Visit poster's website and check reviews. If I find a site proper I play it.

Re: Anyone here order from BBTS?

I have several times but only when the price on an item is too good to pass up even with exchange and shipping or when the item wasn’t available thru a Canadian retailer. My customer service experiences with them have been positive but from what I’ve read your mileage may vary.

Shipping to Canada and customs is always an hassle.

BBTS themselves are great. Luckily I am close enough to the border to pick up and save some cost.
