Smuggler's Bounty - Why no UK shipping?

Postby pottertub86 » Wed Aug 31, 2016 8:19 am

Hi!

Maybe this question has been asked before but does anyone know why Smuggler's Bounty won't ship to the UK?

Is it just they don't have the rights to ship to the UK? On FAQs, it says 'we have the rights to operate this service in US and Canada only'. Is it just a licensing issue?

Does anyone know if there are plans to ship to the UK in the future?

Marvel collector corps ships to the UK, so why not Smuggler's Bounty?

Thanks :compress:

It may have to do with distribution and who can sell Star Wars and DC.

I'm in the U.K. and source my box through Stackry.com. Not for the faint hearted though. Your pay the price of the box, plus U.S. shipping. From the Stackry warehouse you pay (roughly) the price of the box and U.S. shipping again to have it posted to the U.K. Once here it'll be caught by customs - yep, everytime - where you'll pay VAT and a £8 handling fee.

Thanks goldmonkey not heard of this before. Will look into it! But sounds as though it is about double the price! :eek:

Would have to seriously consider if I could justify this :-k

A slightly better option is to find a Funko friend to forward the box for you. We can ship it as gift to avoid you having to pay the customs part at least. Costs my UK pal $22.50 USD for me to ship the box from my house on the East Coast overseas to UK.
