The Waiting Game Thread

This with PC mate? Been wondering when the notifications will start coming through. Haven't got mine yet.

It was mate, so it shouldn't be too far off for you.

w00t! MP Clampdown, UW Defensor, and UW Devastator are headed my way but the small country town means about a 7 business-day wait. HUR RE UPP!!

7 business days lucky you! It takes 14-16 days for my stuff to arrive from pc and I just found out they sent it to the wrong end of the state so there's another 2 days. Yay for couriers

Auspost usually sends me an email a day or two after PC with the tracking details... Check your spam filters maybe?

I'm getting kinda worried that HLJ is not stock UW Bruticus. This waiting just to order something that won't ship for 6 months is really bad.

Got a shipping notification from PC for MP Ironhide. This is the first time that I'm purchasing a Japanese MP from a non-Japanese source, so it'll be interesting to compare the shipping time with the El Cheapo SAL that I always use from Japan. It shouldn't be clearing Customs, and of course it's domestic shipping, not international... so in theory it should be faster, but who knows.

The average time that it takes MPs to arrive via slow-slow SAL for me is 10.5 days. (best was 3 days, worst was 23 days)
PC is still dearer than cheaper Japanese sources like Amiami or Amazon JP, but I'd rather support an Aussie business.

HLJ (and other JP retailers) seem to post their preorders much later than HK/IS sourced suppliers for some reason... Not sure if it's a Takara or a cultural thing

Perhaps cos you get a shipping quote with JP online stores which then has to be paid & processed. Whereas many of the HK online stores are paid upfront including shipping. Parcel is dispatched as soon as order is fulfilled.
