QuoteThen I got to the postage and 'handling'; EIGHT QUID!? Is it being sent by frigging courier? I only live in Yorkshire. Christ...

Yeah, I was going to order two books (Ro-Busters and Money Shots), but when you added on the £5.49 for postage the saving was negligible, so I didn't bother.

Mind you, I just did a quick check on Amazon and the 3 books I ordered here would cost £38.22 from Amazon, even with free delivery, so I suppose it's still good value.

I ordered two books and the postage came to 2.99! I thought that a bit much, but on comparison with Amazon prices.... well, I might have made a saving if I'd gone with a second hand seller. (I'd normally be happy to do that, but the deal was so good overall I was happy to give the money to Rebellion.)

In hindsight it's probably just as well I didn't get the Slaine figure though (although I'm still half considering it, great big kid that I am. If the Reaction Dredd had been there for the same price I'd have gone ahead) as that packet probably would have increased the cost quite a bit.

Although in comparison P&P for a book from Amazon's zstore is £2.80. I think we've been spoiled by Amazon's free P&P offer - well I know I have been ;)
if I went 'round saying I was an Emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

Has anyone received anything they bought yet?

SBT

Nope. Also no e-mail confirming shipping, or a tracking number or anything. Has anyone else received anything of the sort for their order?

I'm not sure what Rebellion's shipping practices are.

Lee Grice on twitter just showed his haul that had arrived so they are out there people, they probably have poor denise on X2 automatic over the weekend, spare a bot some sympathy.

If I'd known it was harmless I would have killed it myself.

Don't think so. Both volumes are still readily available in FP.

Its probably because vol 1 hasn't been available on Rebellions 'other' site with the permanent sale on.

8.25 postage on 6 graphic novels (inc. a chunky phonebook Robusters) and 4 action figures (not really a fan but at 2.40 each thats better value than a copy of Clint).
If I'd known it was harmless I would have killed it myself.

Nope, me neither. I was hoping they'd be here today at least.. but never mind. Hopefully Monday then.
