I do shipping for a living and can tell you that no shipper sends anything to China that cheap.

Of course, for custom fodder, you can score cheaper figs (than $8 shipped) off ebay or amazon from closer sellers.

After looking all over, I can report that South Florida has jack shit yet.
Makes me almost want to order the three figs I need from Toywhiz, but they scalped me when I first started collecting again and I vowed not to buy from them again- they advertized un their MU section a loose Firestar for $10 (plus $5 shipping) and I needed her for a Spitfire custom so I splurged.
They sent me the crappy old Toybiz mail away Firestar!

When I mentioned it to friends online, people told me they had ordered Thanos, paid for it and were then told he was out of stock so they got refunded only to see him re-listed for like $40...

Supposedly they've gotten better but damn, that stuff sticks for me.

He ships in bubble wrapped envelopes or small boxes and he used to combine shipping but stopped when he started raising prices on figures.

It costs him under $15 to ship that amount of figures (although he normally does it across 2 boxes as if it's below a certain weight and size he gets a government discount on shipping) I have ordered multiples off him and gotten refunds on the shipping after the event
