Chaos Lord Tom Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Hi guys and gals, I'm looking for some DA paudron insignias (like these ones https://www.shapeways.com/product/LV3A6SYEA/60x-angel-legion-shoulder-insignia-pack?optionId=62861439) for my DI primaris but Shapeways shipping costs to Europe are prohibitive. Do you know any 3rd party site with affordable shipping costs selling this kind of bits ? Thanks you Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356688-dark-angels-pauldron-icons-alternative-to-shapeways/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bung Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 They ship from Belgium if you order from Europe, so you shouldnt pay that much shipping cost. I used pop goes the monkey too.

That's strange because they still charge me 17 USD for a pack if 60 icons which seems very expensive.

Bung Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 That could depend on your location and postage service. I am from Germany and for that icons alone i would pay 8$ and some cent for economy shipping.

Arkhanist Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 It's weird, it ships from Eindhoven (netherlands) for basically anywhere worldwide bar US/Canada/Aus, but they charge $6.99 (ex VAT) for UK, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg shipping, and $13.99 for the rest of Europe! It's a flat rate though, so I've bundled up previous orders and done several things in one go to spread the shipping cost a bit - they send it in a hefty box with plenty of bubblewrap even when the contents are tiny, which is presumably why the cost. I'm not aware of anyone doing anything equivalent to the 3d printed curved icons, I'm not sure you even could in resin - they're very delicate. So the only real alternative is pre-made DA shoulder pads, e.g. forgeworld or GW's chapter upgrade sprues (1) (2) which I'm sure you're already aware of.

Chaos Lord Tom Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 Thanks for the tips, I can see they charge 8.32 USD for Germany but still 17 USD for France I'll see if I can order other things to soften the shipping price but I'm very surprised by such a shipping method.

Bung Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I think it rather depends on the postal service contracts between countries. But you could ask some friends if thes want something to split shipping costs.
