    Contact the shipper about this. This sounds highly unusual.

    That is... not normal. I live half a country away from BBTS and their stuff gets to me in 3-4 days.

    FedEx?

    I've had some weird stuff with FedEx lately. My Target red card two-day shipping for a Classified figure turned into thirteen-day shipping recently. It kind of just hung out in Tennessee for a week before it started moving again. I've got some other Target stuff coming FedEx that appears to be doing the same thing.

    Always FedEx. Always the same facilities holding it up. Their customer service straight up lied to me on Wednesday and promised was on the truck out for delivery when in reality it had never even left the previous facility. Anything I order from BBTS is a two week minimum delivery time and I'm two states away...

    Sorry to hear that. I've never had that experience with the lies, but I'm (unfortunately) not surprised given how crappy their service is. FedEx seriously sucks, and I dread having to call their customer service, moreso than any other shipper. Hope it gets to you soon.

    It’s only fulfilled by Amazon…but I am ok waiting at this price…
    Looks like it was a pricing mistake that I just happened to catch before it was corrected.

    You do have options on shipping. Although they are more expensive, may be beneficial in the long run.

    Absolutely. The default shipping from BBTS always screws me over. Well worth a few bucks more for more reliable option.

    QC for rodimus is great. The trailer won’t close at the front. Maybe a few hours on the front porch at 100deg will straighten everything up

    The wheel has to be positioned a certain way. I’ve found that opening the wheel, lining up the tab with the slot on the top of the arm, and then pushing in does the trick.

    Day 2 the Trailer stays closed the plastic is returning to its original shape. It’s strapped down and it get warm in the trucks as it travels around to its destination. I’m going to put the trailer in the back seat of my car later to get nice and warm.

    Only reason I ask is that I read horror stories about the shoulder joints and mine was okay until a couple of years later both arms were broken off. I liked that figure.

    Rodimus' matrix is retooled so you can't do this with his.
