"Tend to go missing" Not so sure about that, but if you use registered SAL or EMS it usually doesn't happen. I have friends whom their unregistered SAL packages went missing though (and they stopped using it since then) - not festive periods, but just our normal days.
During Raya and CNY period your parcel does have an increased chance of getting stopped by customs and they will tax you if you exceed the price/value limit, because traders are usually importing lots of stuff to sell during this period.
my SAL unregistered mysteriously reappeared

http://af-hobby.com/index.php?route=produc...&product_id=957do you think is a nice deal?
i remember there are some bad comment on af-hobby before. how do they work on pre-order item?
i have bought some in-stock item from them before
kindly advise
now all new pre-orders by AF Hobby are by new owners who are friendly and helpful
only their old(and lots of rare) in-stock figures are still under the old crackpot unfriendly boss
