Zorman, it's not some magic which is cheaper situation.
Look at the shipping costs per item. They're vastly different and nuanced per item. >>>>There are NO Bulk shipping discounts.<<<< Until Pia club goes back to non express shipping, it's not always a discount given the upfront Payment terms. BBts and entertainment Earth have actually gotten more cut throat on these items and availability so it can be a toss up between the convenience factor. Depending on where you're located, Pia club is not viable and there are places where certain items are more expensive or cheaper due to postage. I'm in the U.S. and the price for this was $167.98 including $43.99 shipping which is still better than what BBTS have (https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Produ...ils/204524?o=4). Yeah shipping could have been lower but in overall I think it was an ok deal. |

I’ve ordered from PIA-Club plenty of time. I just use Chrome to translate the page and then use paypal to handle the rest. Sometimes it makes sense to split purchases up as the shipping can get exponentially expensive as the box size increases. The math to me made it where the sale figures that were on sale for 30, were going to cost 40 with shipping if I divided the total back to how many figures I was getting.

I SAID, whether it's a good deal or not DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU LIVE. WHETHER YOU GET TAXED OR NOT. YOUR UTILITY WILL VARY. ALL PRE-ORDERS, ITEMS ETC must be paid then and there. You pay for Pre-orders in Lump sum Cash the minute you make them. ARE THESE GREAT TERMS FOR YOU??? YOU DECIDE!!!!! THERE IS NO BULK SHIPPING THE SHIPPING COST UNIQUE TO EACH ITEM IS ALWAYS CHARGED MEANS IT MIGHT AS WELL BE PART OF THE MSRP. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxx Example you gave: Ankylos Field 167.98+ 45 ship =213 BBts 190+ 4 ship + 19 at 10% tax rate = 213 Tax is 28 Dollars at 15% tax rate. You saved almost 0 dollars even with a 10% Tax rate. At a 15% tax rate, you saved 9 dollars. If you don't have sales tax in the State where you live you over paid 23 dollars using Pia club. xxxxxxxxx xxxxx xxx

Literally Pia Club's legitimacy is not of concern.
It's fucking in Taiwan. I even brought them up before I recommended them before 3-5 years ago, Pia Club was great when they didn't Express ship everything. The problem is they express ship every item individually now. Even with Sales Taxes, you can squeeze better deals out of Entertainment Earth and BBTs a lot of times.

You know what, I think I should call it a day.
My bad Zorman. I think I'm losing my mind to frustration.
