Zavvi
« on: August 31, 2022, 04:12:01 PM »
Even though my first experience with Zavvi wasn't the best, a friend of mine made me aware that it still makes sense to keep an eye on their offers. They also were an exclusive partner for Hasbro and delivered the Razor Crest well.

Zavvi currently celebrate their 13th birthday and have many great deals in store, also for toys & collectibles:

Sorry guys and I thought I had taken screenshots. Don't know where they went.

Zavvi had 10% discount on geek merchandise including Star Wars! The VC Maldo Kreis Mandalorian was also part of a Buy-1-get-1-FREE promotion.





They offer 2 shipping options: 3,99€ untracked (which turned out to be a plastic bag last time) or 5,99€ with tracking number and an actual box!

The first 3 items of my order arrived on Tuesday in good condition! It was transported by FedEx and DHL and imported via the Netherlands:






I haven't seen these TVC Deluxe Accessory Figures any cheaper than 28€, yet.

Got my 4th order from Zavvi in yesterday. They had a 20% discount promotion on selected items.
Though only offer one shipping method for 5.99€ now - no low budget shipping for 2.99€ anymore.
But at least you get a tracking number and your order comes in an actual cardboard box instead of a plastic bag.
My order came from the UK and was imported through the Netherlands. The cards and boxes arrived with only minor damage - perfect for openers like me and cheaper than TungHori. Shipping took 9 days, so similar to national shipping across the U.S.

You got some good figures. Looks like they came in pretty good shape to me.

Zavvi offers Buy-One-Get-One-Free on selected items INCLUDING shipping with the Code: Hasbro


https://www.zavvi.com/merch-action-figures/hasbro-star-wars-the-vintage-collection-rebel-soldier-echo-base-battle-gear/13150017.html





I ordered from them a week ago and the figures arrived in great condition! BUT they didn't offer free shipping last week, so that's your extra bonus today!
My figures arrived well packed and in good condition!





No creases this time! And first time they arrived stuffed with air-pillows. Nice!

Indeed, Zavvi is from the United Kingdom and ships worldwide.

Well... you are doing really well through Zaavi. I guess I'll have to check it out.

Dew it.

Well, with their BOGOF + FREE SHIPPING they at least send from the UK to Germany. I guess there's only one way to find out if they also offer free shipping to the U.S.
Regular shipping fee to Germany is 5.99€ which is a great rate considering that nationwide shipping costs the same or more.

Zavvi completes my order in style and well packed. The X-Wing had been on pre-order for 2 months and came case fresh. Only one corner is dented and I wonder if that happened before their distribution center received it or if it got the dent when they pulled it out of the shipper into the box (which arrived without dents).
The two TVC cards came with minor edging and a couple dents on the back. Overall better condition than expected!

The X-Wing was 87.29€ and Mando was buy-one-get-one-free for 31.48€.








One more thumb up for Zavvi.

Argghhhh!

Stuff like that drives me crazy. Almost a good box. Dang.

Looks like it came from the factory that way.

Me too, but I guess it's like walking on eggs when you try to distribute cardboard boxes in containers worldwide. Zavvi puts the X-Wing and other selected items on a new record low.
You can get it for as low as 56 GPB or 65€ now. That's 50% less than the price I paid for my first one (which came damaged from Spain and I therefore opened).

Man, I am tempted to try and order and see how it gets here. What price is that in US dollars?

Zavvi packed my latest order well and had it delivered by Sweden Post and DHL.

Got the Armorer for 15.21€. The Black Series basic figures usually sell for 26.99€ or more here in Germany.
