Why we can’t estimate the shipping price in advance?

There are mainly 2 factors that affect the shipping price, package weight and size. The estimation of the shipping price depends on design studio and shipping agency.

Let me explain why we can’t estimate the shipping price in advance.

Design Studio’s Production Routine

Design studios don’t design packages in advance, they only start package design after production done, and test if their design is suitable for transportation, sometimes they need to modify, in some cases they divide 1 box into 2 boxes for safety transportation. Some statue platforms have to use a single box.

Even if you get an estimated package size and weight at first, after long waiting times of 4 to 6 months to get the statue done, estimation will be far from right when the shipping price fluctuates a lot.

Our statues are from reliable design studios, the inner packaging are designed to fit all statues components, as well as outer packaging, the carton and wooden protection are included if necessary, which made statue a oversized cargo

Shipping Agency

The shape of an anime statue is irregular, and it’s fragile. So it needs to be fixed and padded by bubble wrap and foam.

Shipping agency may packs and crates again in order to keep the products intact during long-distance shipping, which may adds extra size in the process, it finally leads to an extra shipping price.

Your Shipping Option

We entrust 1-2 shipping agencies in charge of shipping after testing and working with many of them, we don’t earn a single penny from shipping. The shipping costs depend on the weight and size of the package.

Your statues are sent to their shipping warehouse and calculate the shipping cost to their destination. They work with different logistic providers to give the customers better shipping solutions.

We’re open about your shipping options, if you don’t agree with the shipping cost from our shipping agency, we encourage you can choose your own shipping agency to ship your products.

I really want to know the shipping price to my place

We’ve been sent many anime statues to many countries with many shipping data, you can contact our Bucket&Shovel sales support for previous shipping data to your country, but just for reference, at least we hope it can remove your barrier to buying your favorite statues.
