CrazyDude Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) SAL stands for Surface air Luggage. Bassically it goes Surface to an International Airport, where it gets shipped when it fits into the airmail container, arrives at an international airport from there it is again surface to destination. Fast if shipper and destination are close to an international hub like tokyo-los Angeles. EMS is Express Mail Service and has a higher priority than AirMail, hence it usually gets to the destination within 2-5 days, including customs as the details are on the EMS form. HTH.

Valkyrie Magnus Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Hi guys I need some help. I accidentally selected ferry instead of EMS and I want to change my order to EMS. How do I do it? Quote
master of macross Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 make another order with the correct shipping, and ask them to cancel the wrong one, it's the fastest thing ... Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) Oh no look like the pre order sold out already Edited March 3, 2014 by Valkyrie Magnus Quote
ArchieNov Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) Hmm.. I always thought SAL stood for Sea and Land. Meaning it shipped via boat, truck and/or train. Well now I know better hehe. Edited March 3, 2014 by ArchieNov Quote
chyll2 Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 SAL, or Surface Air Lifted, is a postal service used to send international mail items. Thirty-nine postal authorities provide this service.[1] It is a cost effective international mail. At first SAL mail is processed and transported by surface in the origin country. Then it is transported by air to the destination country and finally processed and delivered as standard-type mail by the destination postal administration.[2][3] The service is faster than surface mail while the cost is lower than air mail.[2] SAL is more economical for sending heavy items; with light items, it sometimes costs more than air mail.[4] from wiki.

Kanedas Bike Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Hi guys I need some help. I accidentally selected ferry instead of EMS and I want to change my order to EMS. How do I do it? Email/contact them via the order in question on their website (log onto your account) to request the change in shipping option. -b. Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Cool Thanks Kaneda Email/contact them via the order in question on their website (log onto your account) to request the change in shipping option. -b. Quote
Lorindor Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 When I tried to change shipping method for a preorder at NY recently, they said they couldn't do it and I had to cancel the order and make a new one. Quote
Shukenzero Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Just asked them about their new ticketing system and live chat 'tawk' and it seems they're a bit more consistent with when their live chat is up, and with the new system, they're going to be better at getting back to people...however, as stated by Lorindor, there doesn't seem to be any change to their order shipping methods etc Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 When I tried to change shipping method for a preorder at NY recently, they said they couldn't do it and I had to cancel the order and make a new one. I guess I am stuck with a 3 month shipping time because it's out of stock for a pre order and they are not answering my email Quote
IXTL Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) Apparently, they can't change order details. You will need to ask for cancellation and re-order to change new shipping methods, split items etc. If the item in the order you want amended is sold out or the price has increased, then you're out of luck.

Lorindor Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 I chose ferry shipping for my VF-19P during the great panic buy since I wanted to save on shipping and come under this level for when I have to pay extra taxes in my country. However, three months are a long time... I would not do it again. But try to think positive, you at least got cheap shipping. Quote

Dang, that's pretty horrible. Sorry for the incorrect information, I honestly thought that they'd be able to accommodate something as simple as changing shipping options. -b. Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) That's ok Kaneda, it's weird that they have not answered my email or Facebook messages either. I guess I am stuck with super slow shipment Good point Lorindor I can be patient since I have no room on my shelf anyways lol Edited March 4, 2014 by Valkyrie Magnus Quote
megaprime Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 My YF 29 arrived today safe and sound. I guess 10 days is not bad at all for SAL service considering the savings in postage fees. Now thinking of my next purchase. Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Actually, looks like they're now able to edit orders. I accidentally preordered 2 YF-25's and asked them to cancel the order since I only need one. Never got a response but when I go to my order page, I see that it's been changed to one. Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 This is interesting I emailed them and sent a message via Facebook with no reply but when I checked the order it was changed to EMS Quote
megaprime Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 On the subject of NY: Could someone kindly clarify for me please if the VF27 super parts set in the link below is actually the valkyrie + the super parts? Or is it just the super parts? http://www.nippon-yasan.com/macross/5088-macross-f-dx-chogokin-vf-27-lucifer-valkyrie-super-parts-set.html Quote

megaprime Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 hey megaprime, it's both! Thank you. Ordered I figured I cant have the YF 29 Durandal Alto custom (which has the most beautiful colours ever) so I thought to get the 27 instead. Quote
