    Can also try the Parcels app.
    For me it automatically shows which local carrier takes over the delivery once in the country.

    Picked up a MS soundwave. Was a little suspicious of the price but got here quick and is nice and solid.

    Hi everyone! I just now stumbled upon Bombusbee's website. The pricing, especially for multiple items, seems to be significantly better than Ebay or Aliexpress. Does anyone have recently experience ordering multiple items - say 5 or 6 decent-sized items - in a single order/shipment? I'm looking to get several of the Transart BWM figures, and shipping them all together would save for $40 (on top of the cheaper prices to begin with). I'm just concerned with how a large shipment would arrive. Thank you in advance!

    I just received Megatank Monocrat and Bingo Toys Silencer from BBB. The shipping box was fairly large (about 24”x15”x10”) and arrived a little beat up but the figures and packaging inside were in perfect condition. Shipping speed was a little slow but expected since it shipped by boat.

    I ordered all 6 Moon Studio Trainbots and Studio Cell Unicron in the same order. They arrived single secure package. Just know that anything above 3 or 4 KG (forget which) is going sea freight (slow boat) unless you pay a heavy premium.

    Thank you jsdubya & Johntimus Prime! It's definitely going by boat, but your info makes me feel a bit more comfortable. I'll place the order soon!

    Forgive my ignorance, but what do I need to do? Fans Toys Parkour is my first purchase through Bombusbee. I'm a little confused about the ordering/payment process. I got an email from Bombusbee....

    "Hi my friend,
    We find you make a order about the Fanstoys FT-53 Parkour Cliffjumper, and we just set the 【Balance Only】 for the pre-order buyer. Might you don't understand our pre-order system. Because our 【Balance Only】Optinal need to refund the pre-order buyer deposit, so this optinal included the pre-order buyer deposit. As this reason we need you to pay the deposit price difference, It's $20 usd for one figure deposit price. And your order will ship out later of the pre-order buyer."

    I was given a link for "shipping cost" of $10usd. Shall I add this to the cart twice to add up to $20usd. (Stupid question, I just want to make sure I'm doing things right.)

    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    I'm glad I wasn't the only one confused. I responded back and hopefully have everything fixed. I just wanted to come to the board for opinions in case it took a while for them to reply. But Sam was quick to reply.

    Hi @Bubble Machine have you received a resolution to your BBB After Sales issue? If so, how long did it take after you saw the "requested" status update? I only ask because I have an open After Sales ticket with BBB as well and was curious how long I should expect the "requested" status to last. I know it probably varies from supplier to supplier but a general frame of reference was all I was looking for. Thanks in advance for your help!

    This one took a bit longer than usual from Bombusbee...5 full weeks, but it's one exciting haul.

    As long as you keep the total weight of the order (items combined) under 20 Kilograms, you will have the best shipping deal. The thing is the system knows how much the items weigh / sized but you don´t from the listing. Its kind of a trial and error with the cart. I usually make multiple orders when I go over. Its takes a little time, but in the end it is the best deal.
    Despite all that work, he will ship the best/safest method possible because the system is just estimating what is acceptable. After he ships the order, he will update your order in the system with the tracking number and youĺl see how he broken items down into smaller shipments as with their own shipping number.

    That's awesome, thank you! I went ahead and made the large order all together, because the combined shipping was so much cheaper than separate orders. (I ordered a few large items, so maybe that's the thing.) Can't wait to see the shipping emails :)

    It took a while (a couple months) but in the end a HUGE THANK YOU to Bombusbee for getting those replacement parts for me. My Make Toys Ginrai is finally complete!

    Is anybody else having trouble paying with Stripe? I recently received my third order, which suggests the issue with my first order was probably a fluke, so I wanted to make another order. But after I enter my credit card information and hit submit, it just hangs/spins. The card is good and in fact I used it on the previous order. Did the usual desktop, mobile, cache clear, and reboot dance to no effect. I even cancelled and reordered at their suggestion only to run into the same situation. So has anybody else been stuck in this boat?
