Okay i finally got a payment request from HLJ (thanks Tober on telling me about how they work) but the shipping via SAL is 3,850? Is that right? What did other people pay?

HLJ use EMS where SAL is either not available or uneconomical. Basically it means the thing is too big, heavy or expensive!
I too have been charged for EMS when I normally use SAL. For two toys EMS worked out at ¥5400 - about $27 a toy.

Yeah, I got slugged 4000¥ postage as well, and I had SAL set as my default.
They're good though - I know they only change it for the reasons Dirge outlined. I'm happy to pay the extra 150¥ for way faster delivery, and obviously there is a point with size/weight/expense that SAL isn't economical.

So does it still show up on your invoice as SAL? I'd be happy to pay that amount if I knew it was EMS. Just a bit shocked that much for SAL as otherwise I'd have gone for EMS.

My shipping notice does indeed list EMS. Can't speak for the single toy orders.

According to the Japanese Postal Reference Table it's actually cheaper to send a small pac by EMS than by SAL.
At around about the 1.5 kg mark the 2 methods even out a bit at 4,200/3,850 yen.
Box size is also a factor ofcourse.

Tober, 5,400 is just for EMS shipping. Total is 19,650
