Hello I am back... Been a while. I am sure some of you remember me..
Just wanted to express my recent Sideshow experience. I ordered Exclusive Liam and Oz, Werewolf Oz and Derkindestod (which was a return cause my original came damaged) Sideshow mailed each figure to me separately in the same week. Also, my Liam and Oz was shipped in the brownbox that the figure is packaged in!! How ridiculous is that! I have been buying from Sideshow since they started making these Buffy figures and this is one of the worst moves they have ever pulled on me. I think Sideshow is getting a little toooo big in the head.

I recommend calling and complaining. That is just too ridiculous that they sent the four figures individually over a four day period. I'd even mention that a lot of people have been complaining about this type of thing on the message board you frequent. There was no reason that they couldn't have shipped them all together.

I can understand on some level the act of shipping figures ordered separately individually (not that I enjoy it). What has been driving me crazy is the packaging lately. If they are going to ship things in those little boxes with no padding we should get a serious discount on shipping. Luckily none of my inside boxes have been damaged yet. But one of the last ones I received (Oz or werewolf oz) the box on the outside was punctured. What ever punctured the box stopped just a hair short of damaging the actual box inside. And it's not like it was a huge bit of damage, but the box is so thin that even a 1/4 of an inch inch would cause damage.
I probably should have complained, but I feel like to much time has gone by now (plus I can't remember which one it was). However if the next figure comes in with hardly any packaging, I will call them and complain, damaged or not.

I think that it is stupid and plus you end up paying more in shipping, than if all were shipped in 1 box. The same thing happened to me, except 2 shipped on different days and they arrived on the same day, but they were supposed to arrive a day after each other.

Sideshow is getting obnoxious. I've decided I'll only deal with them when it is absolutely necessary (like when the figures have GOOD exclusive accessories or they aer only available thru sideshow).

i was pissed too. here's my story:
i asked how much shipping would be to my country singapore so they said 32 for 1, 50 for 2 and 60 for 3. so i ordered the werewolf oz and was charged 60 for my shipping alone!! i asked and they simply said they needed the extra cash for taxes and wat not!
pls, i've bought some place where shipping cost me jus 25 for 2 figures!!
wat piss me off is that they didnt even mentioned anything and jus deducted the amount from my account. totally got pissed.
