jvmacross Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Does anyone know who Anime Export is using for US shipments? Looks like on Aug 15th they posted that they have contracted with some new shipping service to the US...maybe DHL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they seem comparable to UPS/FEDEX/DHL in terms of pricing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharky Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) I'm guessing shipping may be opening up or getting better at least. The other day my Nippon Yasan order started to be processed for shipping, and today I got an email indicating that my Misa Hayse figure from Kitzconcept will ship soon. Just seems like everything is moving all of a sudden. Edited September 15, 2020 by sharky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DewPoint Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 My HMR VF-4G by way of Unregistered Mail form Nippon Yasan still hasn't moved. At this point I'll be trying to break the VF-31A shipping delay record! My Legioss Eta isn't moving either. That one is also on Unregistered Mail but from CDJapan. I didn't feel like paying 3000 yen more to upgrade to DHL. This lull in shipping is curbing my need to grow my collection. Maybe that's a good thing?

borgified Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Honestly saying @DewPoint, I can say that this lull is actually helping me to pick and choose what to collect next as I don't have a ton of space (unlike some collectors here) and also my cat is keeping me occupied at the moment as I can play with her more often. I did spoil her to a degree as I let her sleep on my bed and on my computer chair as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who said anything about EMS shipping? I thought EMS was a method that was getting through based on what I read on prior posts in this thread? Maybe I'm mixed up on that. My bad. I originally selected SAL-Registered. At the time I ordered it back in late Feb. I didn't realize it would be a problem. It was ,and still is, an in stock item, so my only assumption is that they were not processing orders because people weren't able to go to work and/or not able to ship due to the suspension of Japan Post international shipping which I only learned about through this thread. I tried to contact them to get the shipping method changed to something else, but I never got a reply. Since so much time had passed I am assuming it's because they weren't able to send it out at all due to shipping restrictions. So, even though my order is being processed, I suppose it will still get held up because of the shipping restrictions on Japan Post?

I don't think that passive aggressively calling me and Tekering dummies was your best option here. At least one of us is a genius (possibly both) and one of us is a English professor.

At least one of us is a genius (possibly both) and one of us is a English professor. Like he wasn't doing the same in a round about way by trying to correct me. I went to the websites and ordered the stuff. It's pretty obvious where each respective webshop is located to anyone that goes on the site. Assuming I didn't know even after going on there various times to shop would be calling me dumb, so correcting me is an insinuation in itself. Even more passive aggressive if you ask me. Generally speaking I think collectors of Macross tend to be pretty smart. I don't think anyone on here is a dummy. Nor, do I think I'm smarter than everyone. So, you don't have to posture up and explain how smart you are. Bragging is not a good option either by the way. I could go on about my education and profession, but there's really no point in doing so. What happened to this place? I make some comments trying to add to the discussion, not directed at anyone, and people jump on you trying to be know it alls. It used to be much more friendly around here. I guess I was being a bit cranky myself. A humble apology for snapping at you and Tekering. Edited September 17, 2020 by sharky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
