Honestly it blows my mind that people balk over shipping rates for EMS anyway. I mean it's like $10 to send a 1.5lb. box from one end of the country to another, and people complain about $5 more for 3-4 day shipping on one Figuarts from JAPAN?
When your hauls get up in the 8+ piece range, the shipping works out to be cheaper than that, anyway. Like the last haul I posted in this thread's shipping was 6380 Y. Which for eight items works out to less than $8 an item. You can't tell me that someone would have charged less shipping per item had I bought it in the US somewhere. It only really SEEMS expensive because you're comparing it to bargain basement, takes three weeks to arrive and looks like it got kicked down a flight of stairs stuff. The only comparable US shipping that is that cheap is local Priority and First Class, which is only <13oz. anyway.

The tree / holder is the absolute best part. I usually toss my hands and accessories in a plastic baggie, and I pull my hair out worrying about lost hands (I nearly peed my pants yesterday because I thought I was missing two of Zeronos's hands), and this is a really nice idea because all I have to do is look at the tree. It is also modular which is A+, so for more hands, just add more tree.
For a first attempt I'm glad Bandai are doing this, but it definitely needs some refining.

...now if you'll excuse me I just realized it's May in Japan and AmiAmi can't stop me from adding to May orders IN MAY. (stupid not letting me combine MP-13B I ordered on March 30th with April...) Quote:
Oh, I definitely love the idea but the way they clip onto the tree just doesn't work. It took me forever to get them all back on just because they kept slipping off as I did more

Thanks man.
As a former worker at FXG, I've seen the way things have come in and gone out. Not totally sure about the other guys, but coming in, if it's on a bulk truck & packed, damage can happen....a lot. But we did try to repack it before things went out, and everything got documented. It's hit & miss. But I've seen some things that look irreparable, and definitely depends on the worker repacking/repairing the package. Drivers try to fix a bad repack if they can. But overall, in those warehouses, it's fast paced, and workers aren't paid much (well, everyone doesn't think they're paid enough!) and management wheel grinders. So....just saying. Now this in no way excuses the way stuff comes to you all. Just posing another POV. Just saying that sometimes it's not the sellers fault when it leaves their country. It all depends. Hell, at my other old job, one international customer had us take pictures of the shipment, but in that case, it was a container full of totes with ink/paint base. But I'd think the option should be there for any item, not matter how small or expensive. Ok, I fell off the rails a little bit. Sorry. Last edited by Baltan II; 04-30-2014 at 10:19 PM.. |
