You are better off getting it on amazon japan now and not waiting for mandarake. The shipping is cheaper on amazon.

How about that proxy fee? Unless they can ship all over the world?

Also, any Canadians received anything from Amazon JP? got any mandatory custom fees?
Because Mandarake stuff is completely invisible to customs, no matter the value.
Anyone who don't know, Canada charge all the taxes PLUS an extra 10$ just because for the custom fees.
william-james88 wrote:Dude, even the mandatory taxes are cheap, give it a go. Just try it out and see how much it comes out to before you pay. It will be cheaper than mandarake and it will be brand new. I have been doing it for all MP releases since the service was available.

Hate to break it to you, bro, but ALL Masterpices and ALL Transformers come from the same factories.

The ship insanely fast, yes, but there's some items I really don't want just sitting on my porch.

Amazon Japan uses a different shipper for international items, they use DHL and DHL will send you a text asking you exactly where you want them to leave the item. You can also tell them you don't want it left at your door.
That's another advantage to Amazon Japan.

Exactly. Had a damaged shipment one time and even though Mandarake was very good about it, my local post office had no idea how to handle international claims. Literally had to Google it for them. And in the end it took me three months to get my refund.

They use DHL yet the DHL shipping is CHEAP?
What kind of sorcery is this?
Call me annoying but the DHL shipping price is ludicrously expensive on Mandarake and that's why I didn't order anything from them when Canada Post was on kinda-strike. DHL was the only thing available for a while and I nope'd.
