Yes I was so happy when they announced that, shipping for Sif was much cheaper thanks to this canadian warehouse! The problem is, when preorders opened for Artorias we didn't know about this yet. At that time it was much cheaper to buy it from this U.S. retailer (the statue was 420 instead of 475 and shipping 85 instead of 150). Now I regret doing this a lot. But, how could I know at the time.
Just calculate quickly how Arty would have cost: statue=500, shipping=150, customs charges=about 85, total=730 USD
Conversion to CAD=950
950 CAD for this statue, that's crazy!

They shipped it via FedEx, they required signature but I wasn't home the first time they tried to delivered. I signed the door tag to let them left it at the front door but they never did. After 3 attempts they called me and asked me if I still want it, and told me that the outer box was damaged... I said I still want it and FedEx said they can only deliver it to a FedEx location because they've tried 3 times already. I went and picked it up yesterday, it was so damn big and took me a while to load/unload it to/from my car...
After all these trouble I had really high hope for this statue, after finally got it out of the box I found the statue is so small comparing to the box... and the grass on the base was so fake... that's why I'm a little disappointed.

Ok I understand your disapointment now. I also had to drive to a post office when Canada post tried to deliver Kratos on throne (they could not deliver door-to-door because the box was suposedly too big to put it in their truck-my first thought was, if it is too big to put it in a canada post truck, how am I supposed to put this in my car?
but
)
