Metallic Army Man Pop

[Rice71]

Smh... Yeah weird part is my buddy who lives in San Diego also got his last Saturday.. Mine is scheduled tomorrow... 0 sense :/

they said they were going to cut down on the shipping costs... I would prefer to have been given the option to pay more for good shipping or charge less

Like $6 or $7 bucks they charge for shipping.. And you know Funko gets a smoking deal on shipping

I wouldn’t mind paying that if they ship the pop double boxed like old Funko shipping. The new way don’t like it at all.

Do they? They may pay a flat fee per piece and just pass the cost along to the buyer. Why do people assume retailers are making out on shipping?

agree with this 1000%

I got both my Jack-Jack shipped in these sorters and they came out great....

[lrdavis28]

Got my shipment today. Looks like Boxlunch is shipping similar to Funko shop. My order was ship in the cardboard sleeve and then put in a poly bag. Lucky it came clean.

received mine today and i wasnt as lucky, completely trashed inside that little bag, like ughhhhhhhhhhh

I wrote them a nice constructive email to let them know I was not impressed. Maybe if enough of write them and are constructive they will change back or find a new solution.

I'm sure a lot of people are writing letters. Mine arrives tomorrow so will see

No way Funko is paying $7 to ship each one of those. Which is retail for is at USPS priority ship.. Funko f
Shop takes up to a week to deliver. So its basic shipping.
I will see its a flat rate. So if you buy a ton of stuff its a deal. But with pop up shop stuff you can buy other stuff.

My point is simple, none of us work there so no one can say for sure. We can guess based on how long it takes to arrive but we can’t know 100%. I have a friend that has a small business that does bulk shipping and gets charged a flat rate for each type of parcel sent. I don’t know the cost for the different types but I do know that envelops are cheaper than boxes.

agree with this 1000%

Starting to wonder if they did this so they could "offer" the old way at a higher cost.

[jeffcrazy]

still waaaittiiiiing forever for box lunch... hopefully tomorrow or monday

[Popsaysyee]

Need a Metallic Army Man ARMY!!!

Funko definitely makes out on shipping. They are a pretty large volume shipper and they probably have negotiated a deal with the shipping services (DHL, UPS, USPS, whoever). Your friend might even get a discount and his business probably pales in comparison in terms of number of parcels shipped. I obviously don't know the specifics, but can say with 100% certainty they are charging above their cost of the shipping itself. When you factor in material costs and personnel costs of people prepping and packing orders, that margin starts to erode obviously, but I'm sure they are still making something off the shipping. And frankly, that's OK.

[anime23]

I think Funko shop will go back to old shipping. Ton of people are upset at all damage boxes

i really hope so. i tweeted a pic of my recent funko shop delivery and was not happy. if you're going to charge the same amount for lower quality of shipping, inform the customer. most people are in box collectors and these newest shipping parameters is unacceptable

Yeah the amount of horror stories with monster jack jack are substantial.. I still haven't received mine. Tracking number says tomorrow. So wish me luck!!

Mine isn't coming til the 5th i have no idea why it takes longer than everyone else. I'm scared

Yep and honestly if Funko isn’t making out on shipping, they’re doing shipping wrong! They get significant bulk discounts from shipping services and use the current shipping prices to subsidize other costs (like you said ). That’s what many retailers do (and why other retailers can afford to offer free shipping).

Agree 100%

Tho I would add that I don't think it's actually okay that they overcharge for shipping. It's the main reason I have almost never ordered from the funko shop. I can't swallow such high shipping costs compared to every other retailer I use. If they would start offering free shipping for orders over a certain amount, I might change my mind! Thankfully, I don't collect original characters or HB stuff.

See you are assuming the opposite based on your knowledge. I said I wrote a nice constructive email letting them know how I feel. I do believe that they are charging too much based on my experience. I wasn't rude and I encourage others to do the same. It can encourage them to do a cost analysis and possibly give us two options for shipping. One for a box or one for double boxed. It's good to let a company know how you feel in a constructive manner, it's how they know they need to change something.

of my friends that ordered monster jack jack, the one collector that is OOB got the mintest box. smh

Fair point. I don't like it as a consumer either honestly. My point is that it's their right to do so, just like it's your right to choose not to pay the costs by shopping elsewhere. If you want something bad enough, you'll choose to pay the price. You have obviously made your choice. Frankly, I don't think funko is too bad since it's a flat rate. Some retailers are worse. Entertainment earth, FYE, one of those I think charges ridiculous shipping IIRC. With that said, it is now getting costly because if you want pop up shop items nowadays, you have to buy right away for most pops and its a single item at a time. If you were able to bundle like before, it wouldn't be so bad.

I definitely agree that it is their right! I also agree that a bundle option would be very nice and fair, especially to loyal, one could even say fanatic, customers.

And yeah, I think FYE is the one that charges crazy shipping? Also the fact that HT will charge over the price of a common for an exclusive pop, when Target charges like 9 bucks and I can bundle it with other stuff I need and get free shipping. I'm never sure how all of that happens.

[supertoygiant]

The can actually ship in the single shipper box and avoid damage if they did it correctly.

[TJLAUTERBACH]

Finally got my metallic Army man today and I love it! Looks awesome.

[Mjacob78]

Mine came yesterday!!!! He is so cute. It actually came in a box, and then today my HT pops came in bags smh.

Lol I'm sure the Gitd version will pop up!!!

[jyc123]

My army man was shipped in a bag from Boxlunch... The box damage is real

BAG-lunch


Sorry to hear. Maybe you can trade for a better box with an OOB collector. Well. Maybe have one OOB and another one in box.

oh that's brutal. sorry

I will just have to return it. Sigh

[zwahelian]

I’m really worried the metallic Army men will show up in a bag. I ordered two, one for a friend, so I’m hoping they shipped in a box instead. Keeping my fingers crossed

[tonychen2121]

I hope they make a glow version soon.

Me too, I will have to donate them if they come damaged...I can tolerate one or two damaged boxes in my collection, but not more than that.

[brown]

I got lucky that mine came undamaged. My friend had his dented pretty bad.

I am going to be out of town too. I'm irritated already

[tugzy23]
