10224 - Town Hall

[vexxet]

I think you'll be looking at about US$80 for shipping... keep us posted though.

I hope so, will do =D

USD buyers definitely want to be looking at sourcing abroad as AUS and EUR  sales represent good value for money due to the strong dollar and the more contained prices in these countries.

 

Only 172 on BL worldwide now  and 35 sold this month- that

Thanks for the update, that sounds about right. Shipping is crazy expensive in Australia, it's about US$30 to send this set within just Australia!

[Alucard1982]

I've been doing some looking into posting some sets over, for one its around $90(AUD) normal Air Mail (but I paid the extra for express which includes tracking and insurance - $122AUD).

 

For 2, I was told by the Post Office it would be around $200 but I figured out later that it included insurance (which I cover) so it worked out to be about $170ish AUD for the express option (3 - 7 days).

 

 

 

EDIT: I forgot to add that I weigh them at 4.5kg a piece as I suffocate them in bubble wrap.

thats about the cost to ship it inside US also... but im talking about max distance probably like Cali to New York or Miami or something.

Too bad everyone seems to have gotten rid of surface shipping.  I used to have big orders sent from AU to US by boat.  Took a few months, so I had to really trust the seller, but everything always made it intact and the rates were easy on the PayPal account.  Maybe when international cargo drone flights become commonplace, airmail will cheapen up a bit.

I never thought of adding Sea Mail to my listings due to the fact I thought that the world had moved to a "Want it NOW" mentality, I suppose with the implementation of PayPal's 6 month "Safety Net" Sea Mail may become a more viable posting option.

[Alucard1982]

its all good, i just managed to buy 2 from Australia for 351$ each... I hope the shipping isn't too bad!.....(look at ebay Australia bros there seems to be a massive Town Hall find or something.)

Received a TH from eBay the other day. Can't believe they shipped it without a box. Ended up getting $50 off for the damage, so it wasn't too bad.

[ISO8T0]

Isnt that the AU way to ship?

[Mos_Eisley]

That thing is in pretty amazing condition for being shipped like that. I don't usually get actual shipping boxes to arrive as good as that.

[Jules_K]

As we like to say in Australia "She'll be right mate.".

[darin]

no, from the U.S.

I buy at least a dozen items from eBay every week and I can say that about 10-20% of them arrive in brown paper and no outter box. Now as soon as purchase something I send the seller a message telling them to ship it in a box. Unfortunately some listen and some don't. Getting reimbursement for damaged items is a pain. Some sellers apologize and offer to cover return costs or offer a discount but more often than not they refuse to do anything about it. It makes buying on eBay more hassle than it is worth sometimes. There is nothing more discouraging than getting a great deal only to have to return the item because it wasn't packed/shipped good.

LOL!  i think I know who you are bro, you bought a Tie Fighter from me one time and sent me that message... i read it like... who the hell wouldnt do that,  haha!

Cubic weights don't apply to international shipping from Australia. Within Australia (where cubic weights do) I double bubble and brown paper with the option of boxing (buyer incurring the excess postage).

I have a few town hall Lego boxes ready to go ;)

Aah eBay...

My last purchase from a private seller was 7939 bundled with 7937. Boxes were taped together, wrapped in a layer of thin bubble wrap, packed in a freaking trash bag. End of packaging. Needless to say the boxes looked like ****. Tape tore off, ripped half the box open. But from the looks of it, the boxes were already in bad shape before they got sent. One seal was loose, think it even had some dog hair sticking to it.

The sad thing is, the bricks showed. Many tiny dents and marks all over them. Thought >500 straight positive ratings would mean something...

A custom sized snug fit box won

[kos999]

I found in a store a town hall box in bad condition  and i have no idea how many bags must be inside. Does anyone count them? How many for each number?
