HLJ is apparently up again, but site's getting hammered!

I got an order in, but I have no confidence in HLJ anymore.  It doesn't show up in my history nor did I get an email confirmation.

[Chronocidal]

I just got both, so give it a couple minutes, and cross your fingers!  

 

[RIBFIR]

Just got an order in at HLJ !

Given how slow HLJ's site is running, it might not be able to process anything.

I did pay for the protection plan.  The seller specifically mentioned having reserved his order whereas others made no mention, so we’ll see.  Paid 26k JPY + fees which sucks but what can you do...PO nights are just hideously bad with little chance of me getting one

 

The mark up suck, all agree. Hope you will will receive the item. But if the seller fail to deliver, then FJ will help since you have the protection plan.

[bleecher]

Ordered via HLJ and received confirmation. Curious to see if other sites restock such as CDJ, Amazon JP, AmiAmi as that would bode well for future figures.

[Chronocidal]

I'm hoping Bandai saw what a demand there was for it, and produces a few extra.  They have to know this model will be stupid popular.

[crackpot]

Thank you guys! Finally! 

[oshanmacross]

Score!

Thanks so much guys!

I will never use the protection plan. But I don't buy from unknown sellers either, just use them for stuff like TWE direct from Bandai so I'm not worried about them screwing me other than their regular screwing.

I have 36 transaction on FJ that I skipped the protection plan.

Then I am hit by a seller that fail to deliver on the DX Max for 22K yen.

So if I paid the protection every time, it will cost me 400 x 36 yen = 14400 yen

So now I am out by just under 7600 yen.

I think not paying for the plan can be good. Maybe in future I will more careful on selecting the seller and on high risk item (high price PO item), will consider paying the 400 yen for protection.

In general, I will avoid PO on yahoo japan or ebay.

I have never get any PO item delivered on both site.

End up getting Max on AJ for a good price after release. So I will be patient and wait for release day if I missed the PO on normal retailer.

Got one on HLJ too and I feel the same way about HLJ (how they have fallen.....), but I did get both email.

Still, I will not count this as secure just yet. Could be a glitch, since I am not sure why they have so much extra stock (Scalper cancelling?)

[dafob]

Crap. I think I ordered two by mistake since I never got confirmation for first one.  But now I just got both confirmation emails.  I hope I can cancel or unload the extra one.  

[Chronocidal]

Yeah, go cancel it from your page fast, you can fix that.

You can always keep both.  

JK aside, you can always cancel even after it enter your PW (with a time limit).

It is nice to have extra and worry about if you can cancel vs missed the PO.

I didn't know you could cancel an order w/ HLJ yourself...?  I'll give it a shot.

[crackpot]

It's still up. I do hope it's not a glitch even with the email confirmations. :/

I'm wondering how some got 2. Because there's a limit of 1 per person. It didn't allow me to check out when I mistakenly added 2.

First world problems ~_^

[F360]

since its limited to 1 per customer.   HLJ will sometimes suspend your account for trying to buy more than 1.   but will normally just lower your numbers back to 1.

[mog_kupo]

Thanks guys, finally got one at HLJ 

 

The "bad" part was that I had a 20% off cupon that didnt bother to use, I focused on gettin the order ASAP

HLJ will ban you for ordering multiple for items with 1 limit per household

You might not be able to cancel from the private warehouse, but if you can't cancel it directly, email them fast to let them know it was a website glitch, and they should erase the extra order for you.

TOTALLY!  Actually, I'm not worried about the cost of getting two... I'm more paranoid of the wife's wrath when she sees the charges.

[borgified]

And Order Stopped!

At 18k yen, congrats for those who got an order. Waiting for the DX Roy version...

Sounds like an Oracle database issue, that is ridiculous.
I'm sure that can be argued successfully with a customer service email, however not when it in in a cart and time is of the essence.

 

Lots of E-commerce info in this thread

dozed off HLJ was open and gone again?

[Guyffon]

Yeah I missed it too, was expecting it to only open tomorrow, as I have been checking everyday but today this week, looks like I won’t be getting one afterall. Some people are lucky to get multiples though.....

[Sanity is Optional]

Phew, managed to resist long enough to not get a third...

In retrospect I suppose it would have been better to get it and pass one along at cost to another forumer.

Maybe some scalpers cancelled their orders after getting low prices on Max, or did HLJ get more stock?  I thought this was releasing next week?

or HLJ site crashed again and accepted more than allotment haha. WE can only speculate but in terms of release date, it should be tomorrow (or this week)
