got my invoice from Amiami, total shipping fee for my figure orders this Nov.
Shipping Fee: 19260 yen

T_T, more than expected

Quote:Thank you for your mail.  The issue in this case is not one of weight, but of size.  The US has relatively strict size limits in place for SAL shipments (some countries can accept any size), and as such wee would have to send this as 3 or 4 separate cartons (as opposed to 2 EMS cartons).  In either event, the price difference between SAL Parcel and EMS for the US is not so drastic.  Even if these items fit in SAL Parcel boxes the total price would still be about 18,800 JPY.

i tried e-mailing them if they can split it with SAL Parcel, no good. oh well.
EMS anyway, i get them sooner (3-5 days) compare to SAL Parcel (7-21 days)

due to limited space, and my frequency of buying figures per month. i decided to throw away all the boxes. i have no plans to sell them anyway.

getting worried with my nendo orders from hobbysearch, 2 weeks+ now since shipped, lost? hope not.

if only few figures, i use SAL, got used to it already, used it many times.
but for big orders,5+ figures, i always use EMS.
the missing package have 2 nendo.

and they came lol, just when i am to start worrying. took 16 days through SAL


also the books from black friday.







my amiami orders (15 total figures) shipped yesterday, so should get them this weekend or early next week. (EMS)

also, on the process of unboxing all figures to fit on new shelf, still need to add a sliding glass for cover. maybe january, not in a rush, since the room is covered anyway, sealed windows.

ooh. Nice collection of books. I've been wanting to buy the Harry Potter collection since I only have the first 5 in paperback.

still Dec. 25 here, almost 4pm. slept all day since last night, then gonna go to my mom's house for dinner tonight. then work @ midnight.
nothing much for Christmas, I'm not that into it. just glad i got a free off and get paid lol.

2011 is coming, lots of new games coming, but won't probably get into them again, I'm quite satisfied with figure collecting and gundam kits. should really sell some games/manga, need the space and the money gain would help paying for the costly figures.
spent most of my free time this December with anime, 10-20 episodes per day, old and new animes.
still haven't finish my PG Astray Red Frame gundam, already have the PG Strike Freedom, dunno when to start it. need to finish the red astray first.
thinking of life itself, i guess I'm satisfied this year.

i got the Odin figure XD, pic on other thread of mine, mid left part of shelf.

did not try any demo yet, still haven't finish ac brotherhood, played it a few hours after release, anime is taking too much of my free time.
