Searching for U.S. sources for Pulp mini's

I have not tried Eureka in Australia yet, but eventually expect to try ordering from that company.

They are excellent to order from, but I have also ordered from Eureka USA and I really like them.

why is it always Americans who seem afraid of international mail order?

--- $$$ is a huge factor for me.

It is for everyone, I assume! Even the lucky folks who can chuck hundreds of bucks a month into the hobby want best value for their coin.

One of the American resellers of Copplestone currently has a markup of nearly $10/pack over what Copplestone charges, given current exchange rates. Their S&H charges are roughly the same as Copplestone's. It's actually cheaper to order from overseas rather than use this particular North American retailer.

Granted, this isn't always the case, but it's worth comparing prices and checking exchange rates before assuming overseas ordering is always the more expensive option.

My earlier comment about Americans being the first to ask for American retailers wasn't intended to be insulting, just an observation of national stereotypes. If the discussion is on postal duties and the obnoxiousness of same, it'll be the Brits and Canucks again and again; requests for "does [company] have a distributor in [country]" are likewise nearly always Americans. Aussies and Kiwis always complain about the absurd S&H to ship stuff down to the underside of the world. And so on.

Actually, I found it to be cheaper to buy figs from the manufacturer, even abroad. Almost EVERY time.  There are a few places here in the states which have them on 'sale' (The War Store and FRP Games), but usually, I go to the source.

Shipping usually is not as bad as I thought it would be (there are a few exceptions to this...).
AND I have found that shipping is faster from Europe than it is from the other side of the USA... Odd that...

Note that not everything is always in stock, but if there is something you want they get stock in from Australia constantly. Just email and tell him what you want and you save paying the Australian shipping.

Old Glory USA is another source for pulp & pulp era figures. and they are fairly cheap.

I live in America and order direct to UK, EU and sometimes Australian companies regularly.  Like has been said above, it's not always cheaper to go with your domestic distributors. There aren't many US operations offering free shipping at a certain $ amount, on what I am often buying at least, plus it usually takes much longer to get drop-shipped stuff sent to you from the Stateside guy than if you just order from the manufacturer. Seems to be that $10+/- is a standard shipping charge these days. For example, why buy Warlord plastics and pay shipping from a US distro guy when I can order from the WL site and pay no shipping at all, at least until January.

A note on postage from the US to Canada:
Please don't use UPS for minis!  The surcharges are horrendous (like $15 just to peek in your package at Canada Customs).  Use USPS!
