In most of the time one to two years back I would agree Amiami would be Usually the cheapest. However, as I been price comparing a few items I have noticed that they are now on par with HLJ.
I am just pointing out that Amiami isn't the usual cheap spot as we normally expect them to be in case you were not aware of their pricing lately cheers.
I believe for HLJ if item is above 20,000 if I am not wrong, you can't choose the cheaper postage, BUT mind you normally when the item is big and heavy HLJ works out to be cheaper using EMS.
Amiami, lets you choose what you want but they will lay out the different available options including DHL.
AE, sucks, they can list the cheaper option but when the item comes they actually tells you that option is not available so you been played out in some cases.
Hobbysearch has also a limit of 18,000jpy and auto EMS I think.
Only NY has the option to choose whatever you want. I have used by boat, and by Eco Air and in some cases air registered.
Going back to Amiami, there have been cases they are listing at above RRP including tax for new pre order items.
I used them on a second or third choice option when the cheaper options are sold out.
Received all 3 Megatron's I ordered from Ami Ami today placed order on 28/05/17 paid for orders on 30th and they shipped on the 31st so about 4 business days to ship with EMS. All in great condition.
I ordered MP10B and Sunstreaker with them using Air Mail and it arrived as quick as an EMS![]()
I have noticed an increased in prices from AmiAmi, and their website is actually bad to navigate around.
Due to significant price increase and I mean as high or higher than HLJ, and GST is involved, I now use this as a last resort.
My order for an item is in limbo. their communication seems to be very slow. a bit disappointed.
