I've never ordered from HLJ before. How are they in terms of shipping costs and overall?

THey have different kinds of shipping options, the fastest being the most expensive.
the rates can be pretty expensive, even for the cheap option, since it's based on the item weight and where you live.
They are also pretty slow with shipping it out, I believe I waited 2 weeks till they shipped it out and then another four till it arrived (i used the cheapest shipping).

T-shirts, gravity bots, DotM, few Animated tidbits... nope, nothing of interest.

NEXT!

Thanks for the heads up. I recently just started ordering stuff from japan and so far my experience is that for a few bucks off the retail price , you pay for it in shipping and time being shipped. Think I'll stick to stateside..

Yea, that's why I try to have a few things shipped at once to save some cash.

Just try it out and see how much the items you want would cost you in shipping, if you like it complete the transaction and if not, well you know you'll never do it again
