amiami (Japan) feedback

Great for kits, toys is a real Lotto win if they are available for you to add to cart.

What I am saying is they are one of the dead cheapest online store selling most of the toys and kits cheap. Problem is most of their stock is ALWAYS sold out.

Take a look at their smokescreen or Streak for masterpiece and you see them as sold out. There are sometimes you get the lucky occasion where they have stock.

1. Ordering, make sure you have all your items (in stock) if you want combine ship.
- if its pre-order there isn't guarantees that using ship by month means everything of that month will be shipped. Give and take get ready for slight inconveniences.

2. Packaging is okay, like HLJ but slightly thinner box. I am fine with this. Shipping as depending on price and size you may be forced to take EMS for certain goods. Make sure you see what you choose for shipping method.

3. I have no major issues with them, I only question their stock levels as I think they only bring in 3 pieces or so as people suspected they don't want dead stock in their inventory.

4. They have point system, so the more you purchase the more points you get and you can use points to reduces your cost i next purchase. Good if you are regular customer.

hope this helps.

They really need to address their inventory management.
I don't even bother looking there anymore. What's the point when every item i click on is Sold Out? If it's out of stock, mark it as such.

yeah...pretty much, I think Transformers masterpiece is almost doomed on every single piece like Wheeljack etc....

I buy Gunpla from them and it seems like they have more model kits in stock than a toys.

The only other interesting thing is they do have pre-owned items which you may find bargains sometimes but not always.

This

The site has become extremely popular over the last few years (especially outside of Japan) and the quantity of TF's they stock doesn't seem to have risen to match demand. I havent ordered from them for a couple of years now but they were pretty good.

Mind you, I have stayed for a pre order before and it was over within 2 minutes. I don't get it.

Aside from the extremely small quantities they get for popular items, amiami is all around great. Great prices for both products and shipping (their pre-order prices are generally the lowest across the board), pretty fast dispatch, and decent packing.

Sometimes they have really random back-order for popular items so it's worth to keep an eye out if you did miss anything.
