no laa... sal register has tracking number... normal sal dont have ...
no need signature.. japan post doesnt provide such insurance...

thefiguremall got registered id in lowyat, not sure what...
another case with local suppliers ... hope you get your stuff..

item out of stock or whatever reason, communication is the way ...
you dont left ppl hanging not knowing their status ...

KID991: next time, but from japan direct ... their courtesy and honesty is better .. and you'll get cheaper too.. ^^

if you have their contact number, directly call ...
as exiled replied, this guy is from thefiguremall
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showuser=12195
he was online yesterday, meaning he's not MIA or anything ...

and from your story ... that really sucks man ... serious, no honesty at all ... lapsap seller like that ... preorder and paid full, then when item arrived, they changed price like suka hati kepala hotak dia wanna ask to add payment ...
if price was not from agreed deal of preorder, if you wanna cancel, they should straight away give refund ... why wanna wait until somebody bought your item pulak?

and in the end, you paid the topup... still no news ... really2 suck man ...

if all fails, just open a dispute thread on them and post the story ... and thefiguremall is in ss15 subang jaya if not mistaken ..

i've had with these kind of sellers ... wanna make business but so big headed treating customers like that ...

good to hear it's gonna settle soon ... though it had took 3 weeks ... even buying from japan and get the item only took around 2 weeks the slowest shipping

and preorder at rm280 .. then price increased to rm370 .. about rm90 .. reason of adding shipping to it ...? hmm, next time KID991, just buy from japan... you'll get an EMS shipping around 4-5 days of delivery to your doorstep ..

i hope ppl can be more honest in future, not just thinking about getting more profits and screw up other ppl ...

seriously if you ask me, i would say, just cancel your order and get your full refund... why need to feed them more, it wasnt your mistake in 1st place ... even places like XL or even Animetsu, you dont have to cover their shipping cost such as that ... rm90 difference for shipping adding reason, that is just bu||sh|t ... it's a daylight robbery on you man ..

and not replying you after few PMs and suddenly when you go public then reply .. just made me thinking, probably they ignoring you until you get bored asking and forget about this and they would be gone away with your payment ..

or maybe, the item was sold to other buyers in 1st place .. despite you were the 1st in line preorder ... then, they need to cover your order, they have to get another 1 that cost abit more... and since they want to get profit out of it still, they just jacking up the price for that purpose...

owhh.. i was talking from my experience..

betol betol ...
lets hear the reason?

that's why they wanted a deposit .. so it's either you pay the extra amount or being ignore for refund ... and i thought deposit meant to prevent ffk buyers ... now sellers also ffk ... hahaha..

it's understandable if they wanna cover their shipping cost without losing their profits percentage ... but it's unethical doing business like that .. no honor at all ... and true, if got changes in cost, discuss with buyers 1st and get mutual agreement ...

if buyer dont agree, just give the demm refund!

owhh... so figuremall did stated on the page?
found this
http://www.thefiguremall.com/figure/870

if what KID mentioned, srp was 7800yen ... then he must have missed the shipping cost that's calculated at the bottom??!

owhh now i also get it ... figuremall is like a proxy service? we order stuff from them, they order for us from japan, and shipping cost whatever, will be ours to bear?

Added on February 25, 2011, 3:11 pmi thought it's like XL shop... their price also japan srp ... but they wont include their shipping cost for us to pay ... we either pay domestic shipping, or go to their shop and collect for free... ^^

thanks exiled to clear my confusion also ..

1st i created confusion.. now it's convincing ..
look who's talking

i guess that's true ... like XL shop laa.. some of their items showing japan srp, but price is abit higher in RM ...

owhh .. is better than to be a 'MALE' but self proclaim as a chromatic babe ... perhaps you did some changing on your ... opps, i forgot im in the middle making a coffee

yeah .. i didnt know at 1st too ... because i thought it's just about that in stock price suddenly increased so much from the preordered price ..
now only know they didnt include the shippping cost in advance .. though some actions did became questionable; eg, the 3 weeks of no reply ..

overall, glad that KID got his answer after posting here ... and hopefully he will get his item soon .. ^^

just a note here ... if that's how the business going, then i think i can make 1 myself ...
can preorder from me for any item coming soon ... i wont take any deposit though .. but dont ffk me laa..
then i just order on their behalf from amiami for example ... when invoice come, will ask for payment from my buyer ... item arrived, i send to buyer ... profit wise, i just play around on the japan retail price (amiami usually have discount) and the shipping cost ..

i dont have problem on how sellers sell their items ... as long they wont screw their customers... that's all ..

i rest my case here laa...

kuroneko: that royan girl only affected to exiled ... me the least only gonna have nosebleed ... but if i buy, then for sure i will have broken nose too... my wife is a karate expert
