Hey how long do you think the encore Ironhide and TM Beast Convoy will take to get here from HLJ?

[dirge]

Average postage time from HLJ is around ten days, benben. This is for Sydney and is an average - I've had stuff take 6 days and others take over 2 weeks. Also, this is from the time that HLJ dispatch, not when the order is taken or the card charged.

dirge, is that for SAL or EMS? there's a difference.
which postage method did you choose benben???
i won't be surprised if you've chosen EMS

[dirge]

My bad. SAL.

[Robzy]

is that for SAL or EMS?

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the difference between these 2 methods? Which one is better/faster/more reliable?

[iceburn]

Robzy, EMS is faster and has tracking but if you're willing to wait use SAL that has cheaper shipping cost. I'm sure Dirge uses SAL and has no problems with that.

[Robzy]

Thanks Iceburn

SAL is cheaper and slower, but it's not really _slow_ as such. EMS - which I also use from Japan quite regularly (for my eHobby stuff, mainly) averages about four days.

I find SAL represents a better trade off between cost and delay, but my eHobby source uses EMS, and it's not _that_ expensive and at the prices I am paying for the toys themselves, the overall price is good anyway.

Can someone tell me where I can buy these shelves in this video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V540KQBvOrE do they sell these at Ikea? Can someone post me a link on Ikea.com for these shelves if they have them?

They're wall mounted bracket shelves which I imagine you can buy from anywhere that sells shelves. Here's an idea - shop around!

Be aware that this kind of shelves requires you to physically attach the brackets onto your walls, which means drilling holes, so you'd better get your parents' permission first and definitely get an adult to help you install it.
