Ignore that. Order like normal.
For the sake of profit, they will go beyond borders!

If you are ordering it individually, should be no problem.
Been ordering for 3 years, only got tahan by customs once cuz I stupidly pack 9 items in 1 package.

If you only shipping 1 item in 1 order, when released will ship immediately.
For all other questions, refer to FAQ

They're okay. Nice shipment methods, but prepare yourself for overpriced stuff.
Advantage if you can read moonrunes since some are posted without the english translation if you are searching for something
Got an unopened figma Konata for a nice price but had a bit of rust on the screws.

Eh? But GSC DOES show their exact dates when stuff will be released.
They usually display it on the JP one, if you've always been reading from the ENG.
It's on the left side, where the product information and company announcements are made.

When it is released, it will total up the weight of the parcel for EMS and calculate the grand total from there.

I don't know about CC, as AmiAmi has rejected my application for it everytime i try to fill it up in the personal details form.

I've been using PayPal instead, they will notify your email about the total required to pay and will ask you to pay thru a PayPal merchant link associated with AmiAmi.

If EMS, yes, once it is shipping, it will assign a tracking number and you can use that to track it on the postal website.

PayPal gives your CC a mask on the internet, shielding it from outsiders from seeing it.
Think of it like a form of "refundable funds".
You don't expose your CC details to websites, in case they might be intercepted and ur cc no. and details are leaked.

When paying for items, you are "charged" from your PayPal account, which in reality, is actually your cc being deducted.
The other party will see it as "funds" transferred from your PayPal acc, not your CC.

If there's any problem, let's say for example, fraud or uncompleted transactions, like the item shipped was fake/broken or never shipped.
You can alert PayPal and freeze those "funds" you transferred, then PayPal will take control of it and have both sides appeal to see if the funds should be refunded to buyer or seller.

In the case of a CC, refunds are "somewhat" possible, but not exactly easy to "credit" back to a credit card once charged.
I rarely see a refund to the credit card ever happening (correct me if I'm wrong, since I have no experience in CC refunds)

Anyhow, if by PayPal, you have a big "Aniki" watching over the transactions and you can ask him for help if anything wrong.
Considering the fact that this is an organisation (AmiAmi) and not a another person you are paying too, chances are better since AmiAmi is too big to get into trouble with the law, unlike a scammer which has no name and can run off. Been using this method for almost err..... 3 years+, so far no problems (touch wood).

As for EMS, its tracks the "state" of the parcel, not its locations.
It will say something like "departed from outward OE (office of exchange)" meaning it has left JP and en-route to your country.
Or "arrival at inward OE" meaning it has arrived at postal/customs depending on your country of residence.

No problemo

PayPal rates.
They have their own forex and exchange, but its "more or less" updated with the international forex on a daily basis.

It is fan-service.
She's just perceived like that by her fans with their many fantasies.
Unfortunately, many are misinformed of her true purposes and opt for the sexist excuse to describe her

She's just so cute ><

Lol, cuz sacred seven not very popular eh?

Baby oil.... please don't tell me you tried that

Just heat it up abit with hairdryer to expand it

The point in applying heat is to expand both sides so you can loosen the joints.
Just cuz both sides expand dont mean its still stuck. People wouldn't even suggest this method if it didnt work....

To me, its always cheaper getting it from overseas online retailers in JP.

Like MyKy44 said;
For other sites, just google keywords, like "<latest nendo name>" "online shop" "retailer" "PVC", etc.

And yes, sure can find sold out stuff, but prepare yourself for overpriced goodies.
