I got this alot. It happens when your seller labels your item as Gift without any further description. Sellers from China & HK love to do this. This will cause your parcel to get stuck at custom for 1 day.

Not familiar with the source material, but gosheffindammit I've always had a soft spot for girls posing as an awkward catgirl. Anyone familiar with the anime/game/novel?

I want her so badly, but then it'd break my personal rule of "no goods from stuff I'm not familiar with".

I think she'd make quite a good match if posed beside Hanekawa.

Erm you sure you can get this figurine thru our custom without any trouble?

Mine came today - SAL (Registered). Overall Matsuri box is untampered as it is still nicely wrapped up by Ami


EXkurogane,

How did you pay for your Matsuri? Credit card directly or thru PAYPAL? PAYPAL can let you claim if the item is "lost in transits" within the claim period. I have claimed before. I got back my refunds within 20+ days BUT have to go through all the hassle and proper procedures.

Do that and Amiami will ban your account.
You guys really need to read the rules of every site you registered an account in. For Amiami their policy is to wait at least 1 month after shipping date then they will launch their own investigation. They'll probably help u to claim insurance and might even refund u in amiami points.

Ok. Some misunderstanding here. What i did was after the estimate date of arrival which i m suppose to receive my item i waited for another 5 days before i lodge my claim to PayPal. At this point around 27 to 28 days. During this time the process takes additional 20+ days when i got back my refund. So, total is approx around 48 days (28 + 20). This should clear up what i was trying to say.

That is nothing compared to what i got from Amazon  rclxub.gif They give the invoice some space too, and there was even no paddings of any sort.
At least i wasnt charged for the big box, but i actually like how amiami pads thieir contents because i have seen too many cases of daaged figure boxes. Amiami probably doesnt want to deal with too many damaged box complaints (which are not liable for compensation as long the content - the figure itself - is not damaged).

local retailers usually got jalan so if you wanna avoid sleepless nights... just use them. costs more but you get a good night's sleep...

and on a separate but related note, anybody planning on getting her?

Already POed. Should be no problem getting through custom. Just ask seller to change description from "Gift" to "Plastic Figurine".
