I buy LOTS of stuff mostly from the states.... so I am never really "Amazed" by shipping charges.... dont see my couple hundred posts on this forum, make me look like a newb, ive been in the game for years. I just dont post much here. Ive bought a few grand worth of kits/detail items on ebay in the past 6 months already, and not once have I had someone try to get 3 times the item price in shipping charges. The main reason that I posted this up, is because of the 38-42.00 shipping. I do agree that i overlooked the US only shipping, but in my defence, when im on site, or up in camp at work, I do all of my dealings on an Iphone.

Might aswell delete this thread since the mods are just going to bash me.lol

also, for comparisson on shipping prices, I JUST recieved 3 largebox(aoshima hilux, and datsun trucks) kits from JAPAN, shipping was only $27.00

where does it state NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING? over 3/4 of the stuff that I buy is exactly like this listing, generally never says to canada. I think the seller just didnt get what he wanted, and wants more money, plain and simple. I can guarentee you that this box will show up at my door and the shipping price on the label will be under 10.00 also, international shipping charges being higher is a myth also, for a model to be sent from california to me under 5.00US, for me to put the exact model into the same box and send it to california.... $17.00 Canadian. Like I said, i have another of this same kit, shipped from the same general location for 32.00 less than what this seller wants.

yeah, tracking stops at the border..... so its useless.

Also, im my experience - the shipping calculator is GROSSELY incorrect, but never have I had a seller re-imburse the difference.

I purchased a Testors Pro Street Rambler off ebay a few days ago, at a cost of 16.07 , shipping wasnt specified, but NOWHERE does it say "no international shipping" so I got an invoice, with a total of $11.00 for shipping, which was promptly paid via paypal. I am located in Saskatchewan , Canada, and he is located in San Bernadino, California 3 days later I get this email: "The shipping quoted in the add was for US domestic flat rate box. Same box to Saskatchewan, Canada is $39.95 plus $3 for tracking. I specifically put no international shipping on the listing. I need $31.95 more to ship to you. This is why I said no international shipping. Tracking is a must on international shipping so that I know you received the package." To be honest, I just bought 2 more of these kits, and one shipped from North Carolina @ a rate of $5.75 and one from Mesa, California for $6.02, I refuse to pay $31.00 more. I dont care much about a negative feedback, because I will appeal it, as I do not believe that I am in the wrong at all. what is everyones thoughts on what I should/ could do?

looks great! the blue with white top is perfect!!

just got my buick waterfalls, just a tad over 5 weeks from the night i placed the order, and im up in canada eh

...Today was a good day! mailbox finds, as well as local hobby shop, and bargain store the ford gt hot wheels is a treasure hunt, the falcon is a super secret treasure hunt excuse the poor picture quality, taken with iphone

hands down, my favorite art!

Ive always really liked the trumpeter Nova box tops.

check the trumpeter 63 nova for a very nice 6

this is scalefinishes "synergy green" as painted/built by David Thibodeau

the synergy that my local paint supply stor mixed up is about the best ive seen so far, the paint code wasnt yet available , but i had gotten the formula from a very reliable source on Camaro5.com

scale finishes synergy is WAY off!

money isnt an issue, I just need a good sealer. problem is that im the middle of no where canada.... cant get anything around here, and its a pain in the butt to ship it here.

im with casey, BY FAR the 69 nova has the best 350 in it.

I can vouch for Rick too! great to deal with him, Ive probly spent upwards of a grand with him in the last 2-3 years and hes always great to deal with.

what are you using for paint? I am using HOK an other "HOT" paints. my results are nearly as bad if I use a dupli-color touch up or testors laquer what are you using for paint? I am using HOK an other "HOT" paints. my results are nearly as bad if I use a dupli-color touch up or testors laquer

alright, so im back again. in the past couple weeks ive tried, Plasti-coat sealer in spray can, and Orion Brand 2 part sealer from a paint supply store ....... both of them still have all of the casting "swirls" etc pulling through. any other suggestions? I dont like the way that future works, I tried it and it leaves the body bumpy and all of it collects at the bottom.

I am very careful about shipping, everyone is out to gouge us canadians. 10.00 buy it now, 37.00 shipping. .... actual shipping cost about 7.00 for a kit regular air mail. if Im getting fast shipping with tracking I dont mind paying more, but if Im charged 17.00 shipping and it shows up with a 3.50 shipping label.....I will make sure I never buy from that seller again. it may not be money lost from them.... but I but ALLOT

I generally only use buy it nows, couldnt be bothered to keep watching stuff.

what he said, but please please please a 50-54 cadillac next!!!! Id give anything for an early 50s caddy

someone over on "the other boards" built a master and casted them..
