its been awhile since ive bought any figures

i know thr r 1st tier company like gsc, alter, max factory, etc
2nd tier is like maybe kotobukiya, etc

i wonder how is flare figure? got 1 figure im interested
any1 bought flare figures be4? how is their quality and such?

just wanna know how r other company rating too, like alphamax, aquamarine, megahouse, phat company, skytube, freeing, plum, etc.

and because of myr so dam weak, im wanna save as much as possible, is sal postage ''safe'' or good enough aside from slow, i dont mind slow at all, important thing is that my item can arrive just as safely as ems, chance of getting tax same as ems, can be tracked, etc [overall just as same as ems]. from what i know is that it is higher chance of missing item, no insurance? and untrackable? hmm.gif

*Update

Apparently not confiscated... Kastam seems to be understaffed at that time (one of my friend who is working there told me) so the process took longer than usual.
*
oh really ohmy.gif ?

cause i just bought a dd asuna, stuck on custom for a day no news yet. but still be4 this when i buy dd usually will kena custom tax, only like 1 time lucky pass no tax

Actually in my case I'm more worried about the figure getting confiscated (it's NSFW after all). If get taxed I don't mind paying hahah.

Btw the figure's shipment box did have custom sticker that says "Dibuka Untuk Pemeriksaan". I guess it was saved by how the package was designed

https://static.myfigurecollection.net/image...1515657782.jpeg

Okayama cleverly censored the lewd part, and aside from that 18 logo most people won't know the figure is nsfw.
*
ah i see, btw have u ever get any H or maybe normal figures confiscated be4? just wanna have some experience frm some1 that have imported alot

if tax figures not so much dmg, but dollfie is way much more expensive, cheapest is at least around rm3k & up, so u can guess how much tax is from there sweat.gif

so if its rm4k the tax can go up to around rm400, can almost buy a figure liao lol doh.gif so if can skip, can save quite alot

wow thats quite alot of dmg sad.gif

QUOTE(Exiled_Gundam @ Jan 22 2018, 06:23 PM)
For dollfie you won't have to worry...as long as the (under)declared value is believable usually it will pass. Besides, the tax is only 6% plus form charge (if collect yourself at kastam) or rm 50ish (if ask poslaju settle for you). The main reason why (at least for me) underdeclare is so that kastam won't open the package;if your stuff is to be taxed they might open the package to make sure the content match the declaration sheet. Which nsfw stuff will mostly kantoi at this point.
*
its hard to under-declared most of the time frm most of the japanese company, like volks/amiami/etc, they wont allow under-declared value [mostly] dry.gif

oh i always thought its 10%+ for toys tax, & yeah another problem with custom is they sometime open & dmg boxes, & nsfw stuff is ez gg, all about luck haiz...

QUOTE(EXkurogane @ Jan 22 2018, 10:03 PM)
This. Kastam dont really intentionally open parcels to check for lewd stuff. They are often accidental discovery, when they open big boxes to check for items matching description for tax purposes.

This is why i tend to buy 18sx figures from taobao nowadays. There are genuine figure dealers there too. Parcels coming in from taobao almost never gets any screening from kastam. I went over rm2k including helping friend get 2 Skytube figures also nothing. The entire combined shipping package including my own stuff was like 1 cubic meter in size. Contents mostly  haram. I no longer preorder ecchi figures, i stalk Taobao after release. In fact you can also preorder there.

This one i buy from taobao one, for about RM830 equivalent biggrin.gif (NSFW)

haha yeah i started to buy lots of stuff frm taobao for awhile now, even figures - easier, faster & cheaper postage, & purchase frm taobao 99% never ever get custom check & tax tongue.gif thumbup.gif lucah stuff all EZ in haha

no more preorder directly frm japan for a long time cause alot of figures f**k up at release nowadays, just wait for release & review & find best deal else where

Theoretically speed difference and Saturday delivery for Priority, but sometimes it's same, I tried receiving their delivery during Saturday ( half day work) even I used Economy. Fedex usually departs very fast from Japan. Today ship out, tmr might arrive. Just that it might take some time to clear at kastam. Also beware of tax as FedEx tax rate higher. Kastam have ANOTHER sheet of shipping price which is 5 times higher than what u actually charged and paid for. (Shipping rate which starts from RM2xx)
Even ur shipper declared the courier charges, they will still ignore it and recalculate. (Every single oversea FedEx is using the same shipping rate, kastam still use the "OFFICIAL" FedEx shipping rate shown at FedEx website, which is VERY expensive. I believe they received tons of complaint about it) Who the hell will charge customer cheap shipping price if they pay high shipping fee. RM 60 vs RM300 lol..

Ended up ur parcel total value being "JACKED UP". Tried contacting FedEx local before but no solution for this GHOST issue.
*
LOL dam it, ive alrdy choose fedex priority doh.gif doh.gif

& its another dollfie dream i bought, oh well lets see how this goes...

anyway tyvm for the infos thumbsup.gif

Good to know about the "FedEX" value Custom uses.

However, I bought stuff from Amazon before using FedEx/DHL. The Last shipment was using FedEx, i prepaid the duties when paying for the stuff at Amazon and it reached my house from US 1 week after i clicked buy. No further duties etc... the stuff was more then RM1500.

i see thumbsup.gif

lets see how it will goes for my shipment this time hmm.gif

This one is actually "cheap" compared to that exclusive blond drillhead,  because she's huge (ems is over 4k). I do think her wingspan is going to be as wide as 35 to 40cm.

Yes, i ordered one tongue.gif But unlikely to be able to shoot her photos until i buy a wide angle lens due to her size. I'm planning to get one in the coming months.

always like idolmaster girls > lovelive, not all though, my favorites are ranko, rin, anastasia & kaede wub.gif

& most of the figures for these girls are good, at least for my taste

Just unbox my Aniplex - Katou Megumi figure.
What I can say is she's really gorgeous. I love the sculpt,  the paint and the detail on her.  Feel satisfy with the quality.
[attachmentid=9567768][attachmentid=9567770][attachmentid=9567773]

Finally, my long waiting on her really paid off.

very nice thumbup.gif

aniplex mostly superb quality without too much problems, i think they are more expensive than other company figures but they are worth the money

& saekano waifus = love

just check my fedex priority shipment, & holy shit are they super FAST!!!

they sent like just yesterday evening & alrdy reach malaysia this morning ohmy.gif if it aint for saturday i think they might even reach my house today

the good news is they have alrdy clear custom & the duty/tax price is a little bit cheaper [~rm30] than my last shipment [ems], they also sent me a sms notification of it which is very appreciated, & yeah no over charge duty price

so for some info & comparison, ive paid ~700yen more compare to fedex economy & its around the same price of ems

i might try a few more time using fedex in the future if its cheaper or around the price of ems

Is there any indication that kastam open the item for checking?
*
if u mean open till check the doll/clothes/etc, im not sure cause most volks dd box never got sticker seal or anything, they usually just cover using a transparent plastic, even that the plastic is not really ''sealed''
the content inside seems intact though, nothing really seems un-ordinary / out-of-place / broken / dirty / etc

ems/poslaju -> the invoice is written as doll & the tax payment receipt is written as doll too, so its hard to tell from here if they really opened & saw inside. but so far i think they dont really open till check the content inside, at most just open the carton box.
even the carton box doesnt seems to have any sign of opening, & this time its double carton box so i think the chances are even lower

ive import quite some dolls before & i think dolls are even safer to pass compare to xxx figures, especially if its come with clothes & such, for tax not so much

If they opened the carton box there should be a sticker saying Dibuka Untuk Pemeriksaan or something on the carton box

This.

Just like how TSA open your bag they will leave a card inside your bag to let you know.

nope dont have any of the sticker/cop, thr is a cop ''ditahan oleh kustom'' on the ems package though

i dont think any of my doll shipment before have ever been ''dibuka utk pemeriksaan'' ohmy.gif

Both of course, i combine ship the item as one so the box is so huge.
Very long queue at kastam, even small boxes are not spared. CNY mah, they want angpao also. I dont mind paying GST, just the time wasted to complete the procedure...
Dibuka untuk pemeriksaan is common in Kastam Butterworth, especially for bigger boxes.
That's why nowadays ecchi figures i rather buy from Taobao (but have to avoid peak seasons too). It's amazing I've never had issues with ecchi figures so far. for the past 5 years. Excellent luck.

ah i see, different airport different level of strict checking biggrin.gif
