In my case, shipping (from an Australian hub) is 10%, local sales tax 10%. I don't have any battlemats. What sort of percentages are others seeing, with or without battlemats?
This is great to hear that international backers aren't getting stiffed. Super pleased to hear that.Although now I am curious, I'm a Stateside Regimental backer with a couple extra items and shipping is $115 (on a $1000 order). Would be curious to hear if other Regimental backers have a similar shipping amount? Reeeeeaaaaaalllly hoping there isn't another computer snafu.
I'm wondering how many people who are getting $100+ for shipping in the US got neoprene mats in their orders or ordered at the regiment or higher pledge level.
They called me crazy…they called me insane…THEY CALLED ME LOONEY!! and boy, were they right.
Does anyone know how QML will be shipping (i.e. Ground or Air)?Will they be shipping through another company (i.e. UPS, FedEx, Post, etc), and if so who?
Company $150.00Add-ons $110.00Original Shipping Total was $33.86Updated Shipping Total is $30.82Was low, barely a needle move but only getting ForcePack adds on meant fairly regular box shaped volume.
Northern California, Regiment, $690 total pledge. No battlemats.First shipping estimate: $257.90, including $18.70 state tax shipping (not a thing in California). Updated shipping estimate: $167.37, including $12.13 state tax shipping. Represents 24% of the total pledge amount. My company regularly ships large boxes as part of our work, exclusively using FedEx and UPS to ship to the lower 48 States. These prices are curiously....high. Dimensions/weight/distance is a pretty simple calculus. Regular ground shipping with tracking is reliable. It still looks like this is a second day air rate.
My shipping has dropped about 50$, so close to half. But VAT is still huge, so total has gone from 300 down to 250. In any case I was from the beginning expecting a big bill so no problem. The only thing I don't understand is that I'm being charged for VAT and also for VAT Shipping. Been ages since I left the international shipping business for good so if anyone can tell me the difference, would be appreciated.
$167.06, which includes $7.96 in state tax shipping (not a thing in Alabama). Regiment, Universe book, cookbook, 6 novels, 1 forcepack, 2 dropships, and misc swag.Regiment backers: any under $150 shipping in the US?
Backerkit is breaking the VAT into two line items so you know how much of it is for the product and how much is for shipping, since some regions have different tax rates for goods and shipping. The vast majority of websites don't display them separated, it probably made sense to someone at Backerkit to have them show separately.
So here is a good example. We're both regiment backers. I assume you don't have any of the giant neoprene battlemats in your order. Shipping from Georgia to Alabama is a short haul. I have a similar order to you, and shipping to California is 30 cents different? Say what? 2,400 miles for 30 cents seems pretty weird.
Canadian here - I don't recall my old shipping quote other than it was a bit higher. New quote is $208.65 shipping on an $1132.50 order (no battlemats). Plus 67 taxes.
