What a waste of money.
While saying it's an outright waste is a bit rude, and extreme, I do think the prices of the models are quite high. I'd much rather have a lower quality set of more affordable models, than these.
lol this. As a poor student I cannot afford ú100 models. If anyone says that price isn't correct, thats including tax and the stupid iternational delivery.
thats like 3 weeks of food and beer!
LOL, seriously...you guys had your cheap shipping and customes free orders for as long as the store has been open. Now you have to deal with what us americans have had to deal with since the stores been around. Stop the whining. If I wanted a SHOT GLASS when the store was in europe, I would have had to pay (no joke) 75 dollars in shipping and customs fees. so 80 dollars for a shot glass wasnt worth it. It's called CCP realizing that their potential North American customers were being driven away by shippign costs, they moved the store and now you shitheads whine like you're owed something.
Every bloody time this comes up I see you, yes you, "counter-whining". Truth is, we've never had it good. We pay customs charges and high delivery charges from Iceland because it's outside the EU. If CCP used any different carrier [my favourite is DHL] aside from FedEx, we would have much more reasonable shipping costs to the EU.
Also, newsflash, people are interested in their own situations first and foremost. Thus, I am concerned much more with what I would have to pay should I choose to purchase the model than what anyone else in Europe would have to pay, and one step up, I care more, as a European, what Europeans have to pay for shipping than what North Americans have to pay. Pre-store-relocation, I cared not a jot what North Americans had to pay for shipping, it in no way directly affected me. Post-store-relocation, I care what I would have to pay for shipping because it is related to my situation. I still don't care what North American customers have to pay for shipping, but now I care for what I would have to pay for shipping as it directly affects me.
Sooner you realise that, the sooner you ride into town on a pony, yankee-boy.
