I'm in Ontario and I find that SAL takes 3-5 weeks a lot of the time. I use it with HLJ when I am doing small orders because it's only about $7.
I don't think I've ever been hit by taxes before whether its SAL or EMS, though knock on wood I hope I don't jinx that. Haha. With my current order with Mandarake EMS is about double what SAL costs but it probably depends on the size of the package. I find that larger orders tend to have similar prices for SAL and EMS.

I wonder if the prices of the Black MKVI will go down now...

Yeah, never had fees with either of those. Fedex, UPS, and the like go out of their way to make you pay the fees so they can charge brokerage. It's how they make money. You are actually allowed to self-clear packages and be your own broker but it's quite a hassle. The fact the same exact items can be shipped without fees 90% of the time and services like UPS always hit you with fees 100% of the time tells you all you need to know. It's basically legal scamming of your money as they charge whatever the heck they feel like for the brokerage. Their job is to deliver you a package, not to make sure the government gets their cut. At least Canada Post charges a flat $9.99 if they have to act as a broker.

Exactly why I decided to stop using Fedex and DHL (even though I've only used them each once). I actual don't know anything about what being a broker is.

So I've heard. Man...Canada Post sucks. :/

What is risky about SAL?

Starscream Gaga 03-23-2014 02:46 AM
If a parcel doesn't show up, as long as they have proof they sent it, there's very little you can do about it. With EMS, as well as getting it within a week, there's full security in that if anything goes wrong you're guaranteed your money back (if through Paypal).

So guys...there's something I want off of Mandarake, and it says "opened-box damaged" but I've heard that Mandarake's descriptions aren't always accurate, so what should I expect?

Mandrake's descriptions are hilarious and ridiculous. "Damaged" on Mandrake is if someone dared to breathe on the packaging :lol

Both of them looks really good, but, I will be only getting Leangle in the July releases.

Gonna go all out for the Gaim SHF barring the vehicles, Kachidoki arms would look incredible as a SHF.
