GiantBomb Shipping Cost

I bought 120$ worth of merchandise to our store but to my surprise the shipping cost almost the same amount I paid for my merchandise, Is there any other shipping courrier that would cost cheaper but same quality of service? I paid 62.04$ for that shipping service lmfao it broke my heart <3 But still. I ordered already hahah just sayin my opinion and feelings nothing to get mad fellas.

Was it all shipping or taxes too? For me shipping + taxes is indeed about a 50-100% increase in cost depending on the amount of items/weight.

Do you live very far away?

@hassun: ahm yes its for the shipping fee only. :( Taxes is 0. I bought 7 items. :)

I think its far away, asia. LOL

ha....no wonder.....not much you can do about that.

I imported a cd from japan and the shipping cost about as much as the cd lol

Same boat as you, except going the other way :)

@edgekasey: I often order merchandise from other online shop, they don't charge too much.

maybe GB uses different courier. I commonly received package via USPS or DHL delivery.

they charge me low amount of money

wait...USPS is in Asia? Global world confuses me so much.

@tehbull: nah, USPS is in US. what I mean is those online shop that I shop into uses USPS as their courier of my ordered merchandise.

Hope you won't be customs-costed to hell afterwards as well !

I would LOVE some GB merch, but the cost of shipping is making me recoil hard. It's really depressing.

@white: Yes, it is depressing but it gives joy and happiness when we have it already. ahaha

@lestephan: I experienced that before, I bought 300$ worth of merchandise somewhere but to my surprise my country's costums charge me almost same as the price of my item. I don't have any choice but to pay for it and claim those packages. then my local post office has some addition charges too. it stressed me out so much.

@beeemugs: yep me too, its the same here in the netherlands, bought a game from play asia a while back for 30 euros and had to pay 25 euros to customs, fucking ridiculous.

And I actually got a tshirt + premium subscription from the site some time ago and got charged for both by customs here! As if the subsciption was also a shipped item! Soooo that would've meant I had to pay like 50 euros to customs for a tshirt of 20 dollars I got for free with a subscription xD....I just went ahead and payed it as theres no fighting that bullshit.....BUT I actually got the money from my subscription back from Rory for the inconvenience which was beyond fucking awesome! I was planning on buying more merch but I just dont feel like spending that much money on the dutch government any more, especially as I've been fucked litterally every time I got a package from outside of europe the past year. Giantbomb can bet their asses they got a premium member for fucking life though!

Well, good luck anyways, hope customs will "miss" your package ;)

@lestephan: 25euros :O too big! </3

every time I decided to buy games. I prefer buying digital copy than a real one.

It's hassle free and it will be available asap.

Good luck to you also hehe

@lestephan: That's a European Union tax afaik. Everything coming from outside of the EU and is of a certain value (I think €22 or more if it's a commercial good and €45 or more if it's from person to person) is liable to get taxed.
