actually when you check shipping, duty and VAT the local stores prices are usually better than ordering online. the sheer size of these boxes would be a killer via skybox. And they are pretty big to ask someone to walk in with.

agreed!!! that's why one deals through Raptor.....can't possibly go wrong!!!

Best bet is to check local prices and see the size of the box, I believe ezone charges per lb and not really volumetric weight (could be wrong, never been in that situation). The boxes themselves not that heavy.

Some local prices are really over priced and unjustified, like the Millenium Falcon 7965 which has a RRP of $140USD. The box is 23 x 14.8 x 3.5 inches and weighs roughly 5 lbs.



The local price is $2355.

Ezone also charges volumetric weight if its greater than actual weight

I multiply by 10, to cater all duties/shipping etc., so even if it's $1500 that $2355 kinda is a hard pill to swallow!

yes. i know whats posted.
but i and others have had packages whose actual weight was less than volumetric, and never been charged volumetric.

[pioneer]

Yeah I pretty sure one of my packages is huge, but they stated the same weight the seller used, which is consistent with the actual weight of the boxes.

Will update with the dimensions when i get it

almost all my stuff is repacked before shipment anyway so can't say that I had any way to compare volumetric and actual weight charges

i noticed one or two times however where fedex would say a package is 42lbs according to their tracking/website, ezone would list the same thing for 52 lbs when it got to them

[Chimera]

gonna buy these on the 21st

the shipping weights i get from merchant sites tends to be the weight i get billed for.
and ran afoul of CE for amazon packages. no issues here

are there any FULL lego building sets? instead of the building facades like the Police Station?

[2NR Smurf]

^check the lego creator line banzai... the Grand Emporium, Fire Brigade and PetShop. All are 2000+ pcs and are full buildings with detailed interiors. US$150 a pop though...and the boxes are huge.
If you want smaller, they have the lego creator houses as well.

[pioneer]

Creator would blend a lil better with the City stuff too

Well my package measured 27.5 x 21.5 x 9.5 inches...accorindg to DHL's calculator the "volumetric weight" should be 41lbs

ezone charged for 10lbs.
