Volks shipping price

Postby 1/6andtinylover » Mon May 23, 2011 3:00 pm

Does anyone know how high those are? I was planning on getting ZM spray and the make pen (total $13) and I just read on a post that if you got a $9 spray, the total including shipping would be like $23 o.O

You can always check shipping and cancel before you get to the confirmation page. Thats what i do. For me the shipping was $17 if I wanted to get something small....yeah shipping is terrible with volks. I think it might be that they use flat rate packages?

yup thats why when i order i buy like $50 in items the shipping is only like $2 more then if i ordered 1 small item then i figure 6 items at ??? shipping etc and the price is way cheaper just like buying multiple items from the same seller for combined shipping on ebay. and still cheaper then splitting the shipping with someone else and then having to pay that person to mail my items to me once they get them and i save time. but thats me. depends on what your buying i only buy small stuff so it works for me.

Then I guess I'll have to ask...is that ZM powder any more safer than MSC? Because I never really saw red, bold, all caps type of warning stuff about using that spray. It just says spray in a well ventilated area, don't spray when it's humid, etc etc...or maybe that's just a euphemism for, "GET A FREAKING MASK AND SPRAY OUTSIDE"...

Anyhow, I might order a pair of eyes from them just for the heck of it....and maybe some eye putty?

Nah, the ZM isn't any more safe than MSC, and frankly has never given me results as good as MSC.
I kinda hate it. :P

No aerosol product is safe. Whatever the substance is, it sprays out as a fine mist. If you breathe it in it's going to be bad for you.

The major difference is that it comes out as a thicker layer than MSC. Some ppl like it better. I just use MSC. I used ZM spray before but the price for shipping is not worth it and i like MSC more

That decides it! I'll just get MSC from JS.

But crap, that make pen sounded really useful....but I always have my good ol' 4B pencils.

Maybe we should all throw a party in honor of MSC and doll retailers.

It is now official that people will stare at me as I put obitsu parts on dowel sticks and run around spraying MSC all over the place.

In theory I should just run a GO, but the idea of organizing things scares me. Plus I don't really know how.
