Ems is good for certain things and fast delivery.Originally Posted by MEEEGGGAAATTTRRROOONNN!!!
I don't get their shipping options, it was ~AU$25 for EMS and ~AU$33 for SAL!
Sal is the normal air mail
Economy sal is what I use for mp cars as I never lost a parcel from my parcel locker yet.
For bigger items I even use ship surface as I have no rush for toys but each one is different and you pick what suits you best.

I mean the prices are weird. For example, HLJ has Road Rage for only about AU$4 more than NY, but SAL shipping is only ~AU$9, while EMS is ~AU$16!
Basically NY is gouging severely on shipping!

Hlj has a deal with the Japan post hence prices are cheaper for shipping.
Hope that helps.
Amiami also has shipping prices similarly to ny
End of the day you weigh up what's best. Some people swear that bbts is cheaper with pile of loot. I don't feel that is so as usd is just way to high.
Pc is cheap for their first runs. After that, you need to weigh up. As hot rod was more expensive at pc than buying from ny. But you get a coin which I don't really care for it.

Ah, so that explains it! Given NY's propensity to increase their prices on figures steadily, I thought they were doing the same with shipping.

Each store has their pros and cons.
Ny gives you the opportunity to pay off when jpy is weak before item is release while hlj you pay when item is in stock so you are at the mercy at what the exchange rate is at for that moment.

This is not the NY feedback thread but you can see I've left plenty of good feedback about them there. I've found in the past that even though the shipping is higher at NY, the total cost has been lower than HLJ whenever I've compared them on pre orders. NY is usually not the place to go for back catalog releases, although I did pick up MP-10 a few months ago for only 12,000¥ before shipping.
