Where did you get them, if it wasn't just some friend, or something?

Evil Bay. $17.99. Not exactly free (although shipping was) but still relatively inexpensive.

Only 3 times the original price. Not bad.

It probably cost them $5 to mail it from California to Ohio insured priority. Shipping is a beast. I can cope. Hey, you may want these:

Oops! Forgot about shipping. The 2 items I bought cost $13 for shipping!

I noticed that today shipping for the item i bought yesterday is $2.70 cheaper. I've contacted them but they are notorious for no response. Not sure what to do. Kinda pissed about it. Its the principle, not the amount.

How do you find that out?

[deadonarrival]

How do you find that out?

I went back and checked. Added the same thing to the same address and it was $3.70, yesterday it was $5.77 (2.07 difference not $2.70 as i accidently typed earlier).
I opened a paypal dispute to fast track the process. Included a screen capture of todays price.

You all may want to check. Especially if you bought multiple items.

I had a feeling it was wrong when last week a 12 pack can was like half the shipping cost of the 6 pack was yesterday.

Oh, you went through the whole check out process, again. I'd be afraid I'd hit the wrong button and reorder the damn things!

As long as you dont hit PAY NOW you're fine.
If i had to guess, i'd say the problem will only be on items they've never had before (ie: 6 pack, tmnt pizza box, puzzles) things like reaction figures they ship every day and know the cost without guesstimating.

I just checked 1 glass and 1 puzzle to you in ohio and the cheapest option is $23. So you made out great. 😀👍

Whoa! How can they differ so wildly?

I dont know man but there is something screwy with their cart. I saw others on social media commenting about the shipping so i looked a bit deeper. It seems its not only the time the order is placed but what device is used to place the order plays some factor into what shipping options are offered and what price is quoted.
I'm not claiming super7 is doing anything to make this happen (no fraud, no conspiracy) but there is definitely a glitch that needs fixing.

The other day I went to order the Keshi 6-pack and a couple of ReAction figures, and they were going to charge me more than $20 for shipping. By trying different combinations in my cart, I found that if I order the Keshi and the ReActions in two separate orders, I would only have to pay half as much for shipping as if I ordered them all together. I ended up just ordering the Keshi. I may order the Reactions later, but I was puzzled and annoyed at the weird shipping costs.

[Mike Scott]

I think the next time I order from them I'll ask them what my shipping should be and hold them to it!

MIM says they will have the Reaction Wave 2 figs. on July 30th.

I checked with MiM just to be sure and Terrence responded with this:

"We always expect our items when the manufacturer quotes us, but reality is that they may be here tomorrow, or Aug 15th.
We have no control over exact arrival dates, just an estimate. The manufacturer determines that, and updates us of changes, hence our statement "Release date subject to change without notice" 
I wish I could help more, but this is all we know until they arrive."

So unfortunately my appetite will continue to go unsatisfied. All this Boodega stuff has me hungry for the Series 2. If you listen you can hear my stomach growling from here.
