As you may have seen, a few months ago we got shipping down to just $1.99 for the US, and that also brought reduced shipping prices to the rest of the world. We're hoping to bring them down even more in the future, but it's quite the task since each individual country has to be considered.

Its all well & good to cover all the VAT/Customs charges within the cost of shipping but not all places have any of those fees in place. Would it not be easy enough to have an option in place at checkout to select wether these sorts of charges apply to your region thereby reducing the shipping cost. Here in Australia there is no VAT or customs charges for anything under AU$1000 so it kind of stinks to have to pay these costs to you when they arent applicable.

As an example the shipping for the Songbird Plushie to me is more than the item actually costs so its hard to justify buying it

I agree with HIPPEEDUDE. The added VAT/Customs/hidden fees is totally unnecessary, sometimes I don't have to pay the fee because they are not going to waste space holding a little package, even if it's a big one. It's luck.

And the added vat you pay on the irrational store means nothing in front of the customs agent and makes things worse.

Replied.

As a general rule for everyone (not calling you out here, I've just received a few similar PM's), please file a support ticket with 2K for any issues you may have with the store / order updates. They are generally quick to respond, and are helpful.

If you do not hear from them for a few days, then feel free to reach out to me via PM and we'll see what I can do, but they're setup to handle these sorts of requests.

Is the "Possession" lithograph a limited edition item? Is it numbered? Thanks.

That particular lithograph is not a LE or numbered.

That print was made before my time at Irrational, but I'll see if I can find out for you. I'll need to see if I can track down which printing company we used for it.

I'm fairly certain that the fees charged are on a per country basis, but I'll of course follow up and try to get more specifics on this. The problem with allowing customers to select manually, is that the majority of people have no idea what is applicable and what isn't, and could result in headaches when fees suddenly appear.

As I stated earlier, we are working on more ways to reduce shipping charges throughout the world, since I agree they are quite high at the moment if you're outside the US.

Side note - We should probably keep this thread on topic to just the DK Bottle. I can always jump into other Irrational threads for more questions / discussion. I saw this one (http://collectorsedition.org/forums/...ad.php?t=10982), but wasn't sure if there was a more general one for the store.

Got my bottle yesterday and it did not disappoint!
I'll try to get some pics up too, but please don't expect anything as good as Mortal's.

Also: I put up a little opinion post in the Irrational Store general thread to try and move some of that discussion away from this one. Please check it out

My DK bottle arrived today! The sculpt is impressive and it feels really solid. Plus I'm really glad that the paint-job is well-done as well, as this is one area in statues that I tend to nitpick the most.

The overall quality did not disappoint, although I do wish that they could have packed it in a nicer looking box (given the steep price)..

[ingmar1988]

looks great, but i would only want it if i already had the MoC bottle.

Just got mine today. Have to say, what a beautiful piece. I wanted to state that I recieved number 403 and it was a signed version. I believe they numbered and had ken sign them in random order based on when people bought one. I think they will be sold out very soon considering 403

[MortalMonday]

Hopefully OneLetter can chime in and tells us how well she's selling.

[vhal_x]

I doubt they'll do the signed ones as and when they're ordered. I imagine that once they numbered all of them, they randomly selected 50 from the batch, and signed them. If they were to just sign them when ordered, then there could possibly be not enough left to sign when it gets down to it.

So I think non-signed will be sent out in order of their number, and signed will be randomly chosen from their batch upon order (since their numbers aren't in succession) xx

[Madigan]

That sucks, I mean if you're paying $600 at least sign them from 1 to 50 and not randomly.
