Interestingly enough, I ordered an S22 from Giantoy in the last week of July, and it took Giantoy only about five days to get it to British Columbia, where it spent another five days in processing before being sent to Winnipeg, where once again it waited for another several days before finally being shipped to Montreal. In short, Giantoy was able to ship the figure across the Pacific faster than Canada Post was able to ship it across Canada. I was not very impressed with Canada Post, customs, etc.
Yep, GianToy are very speedy and reliable, they recently got an S19 and a pair of head sculpts to me in just over a week. They seem to have a 'system' that seems to satisfy UK Customs . They're rapidly becoming my favoured seller.
I think I'm going to buy base bodies and bigger sets exclusively from them for the next few months, at least. Buying from cheaper sellers is all well and good, but then you have the whole roulette game with UK Customs to consider. If a seller marks the package 'incorrectly' you can guarantee yourself a hefty fee that more than cancels out any savings you made in the first place.
