    I'll just say "ok" because I don't know what that is.

    If I find something in store before my preorder is filled ill sometimes just ship it and take that copy back to the store. For a higher priced item I dont mind the $2 bbts tax they seem to charge, for cheaper items its harder to justify. Id rather bbts get my money than walmart or target.

    I’m just waiting for these to hit my PoL. I have to ship by July 3. And I don’t have anything else hitting until August. I’m definitely not going to get all of this in.

    I'm waiting on my Superman (and Batman figure) too. I hope they drop soon.

    I only have three items in my POL, three weeks left before I need to ship. Hopefully one or two more items come in before then.

    14 items in my pre-orders... Item arriving months vary between June-Dec 2021… but at this rate I don't expect BBTS to get any of it until like Spring 2022, lol. :p :confused:

    I'll make you feel even better. Currently 28 items (granted some of those are waves so actually more) in the PoL, shipping eight on Friday, and going to have to ship again in two weeks due to shipping deadlines. 64 items on PO atm.

    Why wouldn’t you just ship everything on Friday?

    Taxes are not going away and are NOT the fault of the online retailer’s. I’m surprised it took them this long.
    It’s still cheeper than gas to hunt… I have a VW bug (36 mpg) my last figure Hunt cost me 32.00 (voyager) 14.00 in gas (topped off tank after hunting) and 30.00 for lunch (wife and I). That’s 76.00 spent to find SS86 Hotrod months ago. BBTS sent me collector’s grade for 43.00. Galvatron was 63.00 home delivery…
    I hunt toys for sport.

    My latest PoL shipment is in the Osseo black hole. Still set to arrive either today or Friday, but tracking usually disappears when it hits that FedEx location.

    Yeah, I know, and since EE also charges sales tax, the stuff I get at BBTS is generally stuff only they carry, though TCP is starting to diversify. I had some other expenses come up the last time I shipped so it was a skimpy PoL of Wave 1 Conan Ultimates and Metallic Deco Voltron Ultimate. So, now paying the price for being skimpy. I also want to cover some other stuff, and MP-52 should be shipping from AJ next week. So, doing some juggling.

    And 8 hours after posting this, MP Iron hide dropped into my PoL! Great! I'll probably wait it out until the end of the month, hit ship and may cancel whatever isn't in yet. I don't want something to drop into my PoL right after I ship and have nothing else to ship for months.

    I'm with you there. Thankfully the last time I had to ship my POL, it was 2-3 weeks before the next item dropped in.

    Actually I'm in the same boat as you, I have to ship stuff by July 2nd or 3rd and I've got 3-4 items that are supposed to drop in Q2 or June. Most of them I don't expect to arrive, but I'm holding out till the last day just in case.

    They don't seem to hold to the cut off date too tightly. I spoke to their CS one time when I had items "expiring" and they said it isn't enforced.
    I'd send them a note just in case.
