QUOTE(Ryutaro @ Jul 10 2020, 05:37 PM) OMG this might be the worst parcel that Ive ever gotten yet....pretty sure amiami is to be blame... » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « my heart sank when I got the parcel. [attachmentid=10534364]
I try to tell myself this is fine, amiami stuff lots of recycled paper to protect the inner figurine box After i open the box and oh boy what am I seeing [attachmentid=10534385]
there's only a very thin recycled paper between the damaged area and the figure box...here's how thin it is compared to a regular mouse [attachmentid=10534429]
ok this is bad... after I took out the figure this is what I see [attachmentid=10534393]
ok I am at the brink of fainting now...here's how bad it actually is from another angle [attachmentid=10534404]
Man I trusted their service for many years but seeing them disappointing me like this doesnt feels good at all.. The thing is this is bound to happen and least you could do is making sure to stuff the box fully with the recycled paper to make sure the recycled paper absorbed the impact from being pressed by the outer box guys shud I write a complaint letter to amiami's customer support? yikes that sucks. which figure is that and what is the box size? is it the 120size? in my case they always use bigger box size so that they can stuff the paper around the figure box and on top of the box so this is news to me. tbh i'm scared to see this since i'm expecting a lot of package from them. i prefer my figure box to be in a good condition so i feel you. i suggest you contact them, their customer support is very reliable.

QUOTE(Ryutaro @ Jul 10 2020, 08:56 PM) its the 1/4 scathach Sashi Ugatsu Bunny Ver. , I know their customer support is reliable but I am not sure what to ask from them though... ask for refund? ask them send a replacement for box? hmm... oh she's a 1/4 bunny, so that's why there is barely any space in the box. i think they should've went for bigger size box like they usually do. i'm guessing they probably don't have enough box right now due to the pandemic. since they're keeping all those unshipped SAL boxes in their warehouse. replacing just the figure box is unlikely but they will probably give you the option to send back the figure for a replacement or a full refund.

QUOTE(Ryutaro @ Jul 11 2020, 12:22 AM)
I just did some research and if there are damage to the figure then u can initiate the insurance compensation process. This require u to bring the box back to the local post office for inspection and asking our POS malaysia to initiate this process as evidence to send to amiami for compensation
Then there is this excerpt from Amiami website's FAQ
https://pictr.com/images/2020/07/11/7gDSX6.md.png
seems like there will not be any good response, but I will probably try and write an email to them and see what are the options provided for me
u didnt write it wrong, the scathach bunny version is not original design from FREEing but rather a parody created by the original character designer
hence there is a 1/7 version by alter & a 1/4 version by FREEing
you choose EMS so i assume your package is insured? this is a great progress tho i hope you'll get a good result from pos malaysia.
wait does that mean amiami will not be responsible unless the figure itself is damage? well that sucks.
ahh sorry i got confused bc there is two version of her.

QUOTE(Ryutaro @ Jul 11 2020, 03:28 PM) nono I am not going back to POS malaysia, what I learnt is that I should have inspect the package when I am at the post office on the spot with post officer to access the damage of the package.. well next time I need to do that before taking the package home ahh sorry i was reading it wrong. just wishful thinking, but it'd be nice if amiami could help you out.

QUOTE(WingNut @ Jul 15 2020, 09:03 AM) guys, if you can delay your purchases, do. shipping is basically down to flinging stuff around these days. almost all the boxes of my stuff received during this period has seen some damage or another, especially those overseas packages. with the lockdowns, the entire system is overwhelmed so yeah, stuff gets thrown about is the new norm. if pristine boxes is your thing, don't risk it. oh wow i have no idea this is happening so thanks for the heads up. i guess it's good thing that my packages are stuck in amiami's warehouse rn.

QUOTE(EXkurogane @ Jul 16 2020, 09:11 PM) I felt bad dropping orders so i kept my order in nipponyasan and paid for it back on 1st July. Until today havent ship and messages went unanswered. Aniplex's Ereshkigal released on April 24th and was already in my hands by mid May, and i pushed out her photos in early June. Altyer's bunny Scathach released on 9th July and current already on the way to my door step - expecting her early next week. Both are from taobao. As a content creator and photographer I sit by watching Japanese photogs release their photos within 3 days after product release and I have to wait months to be able to photograph it? Each week i delay my photos of a new productm i lose more potential audience on my page, instagram, etc because people want to see new stuff. Im so fking done with Japan this year. Any orders that releases within this year i will FFK all of it. i'm guessing NY is pretty backed up with orders rn. as a fan of your work i can assure you i don't mind waiting at all bc your work is worth waiting for. if you're losing followers bc of this, i'm not even sure if they're your true fans. i can tell that a large amount of effort went into each diorama set and you can't get that kind of result if you rush into it.

QUOTE(EXkurogane @ Jul 17 2020, 10:45 AM) Thanks. No, im not losing followers but rather, this situation makes it hard to gain more. i see. i understand your frustration. hopefully you'll be able to get back into photography again soon.

QUOTE(reina_bot @ Jul 21 2020, 09:14 PM) Hi guys, just a bit curious, so I found out that goods above RM 500 will be taxed and check by customs (due to my Nakiri Erina figurine being held by customs currently.) I did pre-ordered some figurines in one lump sum, which are this, this and this quite a while back. Looking back, since the goods will obviously be more than RM 500, customs will check the parcel correct? I am kinda concerned on the Satsuki figma, does it fall under NSFW category? Just worried that it may get confiscated, since Kill la Kill is kinda fanservicey. i think you're good. that satsuki isn't lewd at all, just sexy. if i'm not mistaken they will most likely confiscate nsfw lewd native figures. QUOTE(Ladszy @ Jul 22 2020, 09:55 AM) Sorry for the late response. I've bought from BiJ before, but shipped locally to Japan, I POed a figure with them shipping to Malaysia but it's not released yet. Their packaging seems ok and they're willing to undervalue. oh nice. let me know the condition of your package when it arrives in Malaysia. i'm considering undervaluing with them but it's hard to tell if the figures can actually pass kastam. 1/7 boxes are pretty big.

QUOTE(WingNut @ Aug 4 2020, 11:33 AM) the problem is what gets banned or otherwise almost always depends on ' budibicara'  has there been any case where they confiscate sexy figure in the past? not nsfw like native just figures that show a lot of skin (ex:beach queens etc) QUOTE(WingNut @ Aug 5 2020, 02:43 PM) only if the mintak u bukak for inspection. most times, detention is only for tax payment so sometimes even those nsfw (not safe from wifey) pass through customs. but yeah, why tempt fate  so if the figure is detained bc the value is above RM500, that doesn't mean that they'll open the parcel for inspection?

QUOTE(WingNut @ Aug 6 2020, 12:06 PM) no-lah, they're not that nasty. the beach queens should be safe (the operative word here is " should be"). actually, from my experience, they will wanna check what costs so much. i only ever had to open my parcels when the value exceed 1k, and even then because the custom officers were curious how toys can cost so much. but again, no hard and fast rule so order at your own risk... so in the end it's a gamble. hopefully my alter syuko will not get confiscated for showing too much skin. her total value is 20K yen so definitely will get detained by kastam since amiami don't undervalue.
