New and lower shipping costs to destinations in Asia and the Pacific Islands
We were recently alerted by a friend in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, that our shipping costs to that continent were outrageous. So, we did something about it. Asian destinations were previously served out of our US warehouse but will in the future be served from New Zealand. Here are some comparative examples of the new shipping costs — we have used Malaysia as the destination for these examples:
- Goliathon 83 full size raygun — from US warehouse circa US$300, from NZ warehouse: US$84
- Righteous Bison — from US warehouse circa US$160, from NZ warehouse: US$26
- Lord of the Rings, Easterling Shield — from US warehouse circa US$140, from NZ warehouse: US$20
New District 9 Products
Joining the rapidly sold-out Arc Generator and the Gas Projector previously launched, we now also have some smaller items from District 9 available.
