Lolicon Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 Probably. Also noticed the shipping costs on everything went up at AJ. Hope it's just because of the Olympics and isn't a permanent increase. Quote
Tking22 Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 Fat chance but if anyone in the US has a spare I'd be interested. I'm officially moved into my new place, I hadn't pre-ordered because of this, I didn't know how tight money would be right now with the move, but I've got more fun money flex then I thought I'd have, 1D amounts of flex.

Expand Could be the Japanese holiday if it didn't make it out before the holiday? I've also had a DHL make it to HK before and then get held up in customs there temporarily. So it could be that as well. Quote

It’s happened before in the past with other stuff. It should start moving again. Quote

Looks like it was stop by Customs in HK and started moving again. Quote
Anasazi37 Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 Finally received the "item is ready to ship" email from my proxy. Just in time for them to be closed for the long holiday weekend. Still, I was at least able to pay for shipping. If it helps anyone, they said the package weight was 1820g and the dimensions were 29 x 39 x 20 cm. They offered three shipping options: EMS ($57), DHL ($50), or FedEx ($58). I went with FedEx because the other two are "delivered" by my local post office. I have quotes around that because what actually happens is that I have to drive there to pick stuff up. For just a little more, FedEx brings it right to my door. One less middleman, one less opportunity for my precious 1D to get lost or damaged. Quote

Mechinyun Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 Anyone gotten updates from Luna Park? My PO status has had no updates at all. Quote
Norland Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 I wonder with the Olympics happening this week if it is delaying some of our orders? Quote

MKT Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 Mine from Luna Park has shipped on 20th. The e-mail notification came one day after actual shipping though. I had earlier enquired with them: they mentioned first batch of >100 units have been shipped, and they hope to ship the balance out by end of this week. Quote
sh9000 Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 Tracking for my 2 says preparing for dispatch. Quote

Chronocidal Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 They seem to not update the delivery date much until it's almost at your door. Mine's about two hours away, and telling me it'll be delivered on the 27th. Quote
mantisfists Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 Welp....not happy about having to pay another $35 in shipping from BiJ but the crap got here in 2 days. That's just insane. Course, I'm stuck at the station for the next 72hrs so I won't be home till Sunday.🤦♂️ Almost feel bad about the nasty email I sent BiJ about charging me twice for overly expensive shipping. Almost Quote
Paco Grande Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 I received mine from Luna Park today in Ontario. Ordered it in December. I was shocked because I was not charged any taxes or border handling fees from DHL. That normally only happens when shipping DHL from Amazon Japan and in that case I pay the taxes to Amazon. But the bad news is that they shipped it in a DHL bag. Seriously. The only cardboard was the Bandai exclusive slip cover over the VF-1D box. No bubble wrap. So obviously every corner on the inner box was crushed. Contents seem to be fine. What is with some Japanese stores shipping in bags? My Roy was shipped in a FedEx bag. Quote
Tallman Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 Mine 1D has arrived today. My 1st 1D of my collection. It looks great. Quote
rdrunner Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 Mine from Okini Land has arrived. Shipped 7/21 and got here today. DHL never disappoints. Quote
Mecachrome Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 No word yet on shipping from Hobby Genki..... 😒 Quote
