tbh that's why I normally choose a lower priced shipping. like i don't really need my new figurine two days after it's released i'm fine with waiting a bit longer for it hahah.

Maybe I should just go that route, then. I usually get anxious knowing I have an item on the way so that's why I go out of the way for shipping

255139. Registered SAL is usually fine for importing stuff from Japan. Unless you're importing wafer boxes because they have limited edition cards in them.

I'd been using EMS which has been really great getting processed through ISCs here.

Import duty and tax is crazy on imports here for anything over 15 quid. Then the post office sticks a "handling charge" on top of that :(

EMS is the most expensive shipping cost and unless I'm getting it for a gift I don't do it. I've never had an issue with not receiving an item though SAL.

Also ew on those import taxes and such. Must make things really hard to import for you.

255144. I do relate to sometimes being impatient with international orders. Though with preorders I've usually already waited several months for release, what's another month on top of that?

It's weird as well. Sometimes my orders arrive fine, but other times I have to sign and/or get missed notices and have to pick them up at the post office.

I normally preorder figurines from amiami bc if i don't it's harder to obtain the figurine i want later. i unfortunately missed out on a ash figurine i wanted (or two) but I do have one preordered so i'm looking forward to getting that one

I think we're all better at giving advice than following it ourselves. I know I am ;)

So... does that mean we should not follow your advice about never following your advice?
