UN Spacy Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 WOOT! My Macross Quarter arrived earlier this morning! Shipped out of Japan on the 14th, in SF customs on the 15th, and in my hands on the 16th. Quote
nanoplasm Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 MY slew of Macross COSPA T-shirts are in the mail. I wasn't sure my size so I ordered M, L, and XL. Whatever doesn't fit will go on sale, CHEAP for MW members! They are here, and the ones don't fit are up for sale now. Quote
anotheran Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Just got my VF-1S Hikaru from HLJ. Shipped last Thursday and got to me on Saturday. WOW! In customs for a little less than 4 hours. I haven't checked what kind of pins are on the VF-1S Hik yet. Hope they're smooth (but I doubt it) Quote

derex3592 Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Ordered 2 Revoltech's today off Evilbay from some joint in Hong Kong....the YF-21 and the YF-19. They were cheap, and hey, they are fun..... Quote
Vi-RS Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Took me a month to wait for the package from HWJapan. I ordered Hasegawa decal sheet and package was shipped in 12/17 and arrived yesterday. Sometime SAL is really too long, but guess what HWJapan might have gone too extreme on packaging for a sheet of decal.... lol. Quote

anime52k8 Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Ok, so I ordered a VF-11b off ebay a couple weeks ago. When I check the tracking number it says the item left Hong kong on the 19th. well it's the 27th (more than a week later) and I've heard no word about it, tracking info hasn't updated or anything. at what point should I start panicking?

WTF POST OFFICE?!? Quote

ChristopherB Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 I thought the V2 is still on sale? why are they charging you full retail price? Yeap, you guys are 100% correct. I love HLJ, but they weren't very fair with me especially after I've been a loyal customer for so long. I e-mailed them and said, "Hey, why aren't you giving me the sale price?" They replied with, "Sorry, but you placed your order before the sale started. If you want the lower price, cancel the discounted item(s) and then make a brand new order." I was on my way to leave town and my wife was fussing at me to turn off the computer, so I just let it slide. Too bad though, I could have saved some money for something else. Not sure if anyone else has the problem, but I like too many different things...Macross, Gundam, Transformers, Evangelion, Tamiya 1/16 R/C tanks, motorcycles, etc. Unless your really rich, you can't possibly get all of the different releases.

Nerd-linger Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 (edited) Not sure if this is the best thread for this, but I have a question for those with recent experience with HLJ. I have not ordered from them in years, but recently did and am wondering about when they charge orders to credit cards. I'm currently tracking the items and they just cleared customs, but have yet to have my credit card charged by HLJ. Is this normal? When should I expect to be charged? Thanks Just occurred to me to check the hlj FAQ. It appears it can take some time before the charge appears on a card, something about transmitting charges twice a month. Oh well, I was starting to get my hopes up, guess it's just a matter of time..... Unfortunately. Edited January 28, 2010 by Nerd-linger Quote
eyesonme78 Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 My package from HLJ have yet to arrive yet!! My mighty stand been taking a long long time using SAL.. Been 22 days and counting down, and yet to have arrive at my door step. My VE-1 takes 14 days using SAL and yet to arrive.. and i live in asia, not the USA.. why does it takes so long to arrive? and HLJ is not much help in checking it at all... and my credit charge is charge for the amount already... Damn... Quote

eyesonme78 Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Well I guess all I can do is wait.. And for my last purchase, I used ems but the tracking number doesn't work. All hwjapan said is ti wait few days for tracking to show up.. What sort of rubbish is this anyways?? Quote

Well, my package is going on almost two days without an update beyond "Dispatch from outward office of exchange", but generally with EMS that doesn't mean much. Quote
Chet Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Any chance of Overdrive ever having a major sale or offering one of those free EMS deals? Quote

Well, just that the ppstage service is so bad nowadays at Japan side, wonder what happened? And with a useless tracking number, i think it's equals to holding something empty which might not do what you want it to do.. Nvm me.. i am just whinning why my packages are such problems, and i cannto control this problem... Edited January 29, 2010 by eyesonme78 Quote

I would have cancelled the whole damn orders the first thing I see them go on sale. Quote
ChristopherB Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 I would have cancelled the whole damn orders the first thing I see them go on sale. Yeah, you're right my friend. It was my stupidity, and I hate to use this word...but I assumed HLJ would automatically give me the sale price. Once again I learned that assuming only makes an ass of yourself. Ha, ha Oh well, I'm now more wise and wasted some good money all at the same time. HLJ wanted to ship my packages via SAL, but I was like screw that. They're supposed to have a policy that high value orders can only be sent by EMS, but apparently that doesn't apply to large orders. So I reminded them that I requested EMS in the very beginning and paid the revised amount straight from my bank account. I hate credit cards, because you've got to pay it later plus interest, annual fees, and so forth. Quote

Yeah, it seems like it takes the end of the month/beginning of the next for HLJ charges to show on my card. Sometimes things I already had in my possession hadn't shown on my statement yet. Quote

big F Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 My latest delivery was in A1 condition ( a Hasegawa VF1) it was vac sealed and shrinkwrapped to some card and then placed in the carton. I guess luck has struck for me again. I currently have another package comming from them some books and magazines. Never tried getting publications from them before so we'll see how it turns out. Oddly most of the damaged post I have had has actually happend in the U.K. One time a package from John Moscato was droped into a puddle outside my house, my neighbor saw it happen. Luckly John double boxes, the outer was totally soaked. They just dumped it in my porch and left. Another was crushed at the UK entry post office. Made it all the way from Australia and gets crushed 50 miles from my house. The Post office denied it. Shame that when you pulled the dents and crushed end out of the box the UK post mark was purfect. Now often I just dont get the packages delivered the postman just put a card through the letterbox saying I can collect it from them, they' ll do it even when I'm in. I guess you get crushed stuff I just dont get mail, neither is purfect, hence why I get a lot sent to my parents house. Quote
