I think TFSource has BBTS beat. 219.99 shipped last time checked. No stacking or piling required.
Like mooncakes pointed out, why not save the money.
Makes sense guys. Sucks for BBTS though but at the same time, this may lead to them upping their game (either free shipping or lower prices). One thing that surprised me though, Mooncake, EMS is faster than domestic shipping? Or does it depend where you are in the states?
And lastly, while I was kind of sad that I had to pay now (2 days ago) for Takara's devy, the exchange rate pointed out makes it not a bad move afterall. That's something I had not thought about. Amiami makes you pay only when it's ready to ship and you cant cancel your order. That means your order is wholly dependent on fluctuating exchange rates and that's not always a good thing.
But one thing, is it that the american dollar is lower, or that the yen is stronger?
