What was shipping cost and time like for these guys?

shipping cost was $80 singapore. I thought it was a bit expensive, since i've had a larger order from chimungmung for half the price and a similar order from them and from robotkingdom was going to be a lot cheaper too when trying to work out some estimates and comparisons. they said that was for 'EMS' and there would be a cheaper option but it would take 4 to 6 weeks...I don't know anything about it but have seen someone use the word 'EMS' here before, is it a common service?

is it actually expensive or a reasonable shipping cost, for people who are more frequent online purchasers? I know these stores are in different locations but I kinda figured they would all be fairly consistent being close together in asia
at the end of the day I just went with it because it was the only place I could find that had both those items in stock available to buy now and it got here in about 8 days or so.

EMS means Express Mail Service, it's their post services version of our express post.
Generally it's more expensive to post via EMS but sometimes if your order is larger then the store thinks, they will be able to upgrade your parcel to EMS for free.
At least that's been my experience with Robot Kingdom in the past
