Another small update on Planet Express. Basically you can use me as a cautionary tale!! I was not able to consolidate my packages unless I upgraded my account to the $10 account. Theoretically this WILL save me money on shipping but still....I think in the end this is going to cost me as much as it would have to ship direct from ShopDisney (though I should still come out ahead as I'm going to choose to have my packages shipped via USPS vs UPS so I shouldn't have brokerage fees). Duty and taxes however are still TBD.
And if
Shop Disney has sent my order as one then this would have been a flawless transaction! But NO, they sent it in three shipments. And I'm STILL waiting for the third shipment to arrive at Planet Express. Upgrading my account also means they hold my packages free of charge for 45 days vs 10 days with the free account. So once my third package arrives at Planet Express I will consolidate them all and I'll update again with the shipping charges from USPS.
*edited* the last part of my order is due to be delivered to Planet Express on Friday. So with any luck I can get that consolidated and sent off by Saturday(yes they are open on Saturdays) and will give the final shipping cost and estimated delivery time by the end of this week. Lordy, what a production
