It doesn't seem to coincide with shipping tables/weights from ems etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolicon Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 3rd one paid for at HLJ and ready to ship with my giant box of goodies. I noticed the shipping was a little higher than before. Shipping cost the same as my 2x Millia from NY but for a much larger box of stuff. NY really does gouge on shipping. Anyway, now we play the waiting game.

zaino Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) "PayPal is unable to complete the payment" called paypal, they say it's not on their end so if I call my bank tomorrow (whom I already called to clear purchases from Japan) and they say it's not them I'm not banking on hlj being cooperative so probably rip valk since this one card is the one method of payment I have. Not sure if I want to buy a visa gift card to try my luck there What a drag if anyone would like to offer advice that would be most appreciated Edited April 22, 2017 by zaino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave IV Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 There seems to be an issue with PayPal right now. I called and they claim there is a bug in the system. I've been unable to make a purchase from HLJ without getting charged PayPal's conversion rate. Anyone else notice this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so when you see their conversation rate at the payment screen , stop , click on the rate thats in blue and it should allow you to switch using your credits card rate . Then you will not see the rate chart and then finalizd payment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, I don't care that the insignia is a few degrees off. Do people have screenshots posted right next to the toy and have fits over any detail that doesn't match perfectly? If it was something that made the toy look like crap, I can understand but it looks fine...probably better the way it is. Oh no, cancelled at the time messer is released?

JIS Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I went to Shinjuku to buy it. There are plenty of VF-31F in South West Shinjuku's Yamada store. Like 5 or so. The price is also nice, 18600 yen. Time to play a little with my first VF-31!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been unable to make a purchase from HLJ without getting charged PayPal's conversion rate. Anyone else notice this? made a quick guide on how to change on the fly. With paypal's conversion it's $152.90 (with their conversion rate, wink ,wink) with own Visa Credit Card (zero foreign transaction fee) it's $148.16 $4.74 differences. which is around 3.2% extra that you could save by using a Credit Card (zero foreign transaction fee) The saving add up quick.

barurutor Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 you could also try linking a bank account to your paypal and top up your paypal balance, then use that to pay HLJ manually (send JPY amount to paypal@hlj.com & quote your HLJ customer ID number & order number). but it will use paypal's conversion rate.

David Hingtgen Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 My bank ALWAYS blocks HLJ. Have to call every time lately. Even though I've had them note it to allow HLJ, and Japan. Still gets blocked. It's not the credit card company, it's not HLJ, it's not PayPal. It's the bank that issued the credit card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I followed all your instructions from before and been using a no fee MC for a while now. Today, it went back to charging me the PayPal conversion again with no change in my part. I called them and got a bunch of blah blah blah about a known bug and tried their suggestion of deactivating any existing payment agreement and resetting but it still didn't work. I tried all those methods you've mentioned and in the second case, no coversion rate was not shown, only yen but I still got the damn PayPal charge.

GOInterpay so maybe that would be better. https://support.hlj.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005446448-GoInterpay-Payment-Processing-Provider I remember last time when paypal had the glitch I was having similar issues,. I ended up setup 1 Creditcard for all my international payments, and another for all USA payments. This way kinda prevented that from happening often but still happen from time to time and I had to do like my pic guide above to fix it. They might have try to default to the currency that you last used you creditcard for. After that, I did not change anything on my paypal account anymore. I'm still at 1 Creditcard for all my international payments, and another for all USA payments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
