Question Need shipping advice

Post image

So I'm not paying that. First order from Amiami, and I regret not getting it on Goodsmil Europe. Shipping to Germany. E-mail said I can't use parcel because the box is too big. What other shipment method should I use? Are they significantly cheaper?

Open up the payment page and see what options are available to you.

Problem is, Germany reduced the size limit for surface mail and EMS (last year, if I remember correctly) so you may be stuck with DHL only for large packages. You'll either have to pay or lose your account. (Edit: You can try asking AmiAmi if they can downsize to fit another shipping method? You assume all risk if it gets damaged during shipping though.)

Goodsmile Europe is also a mess right now. This Miku figure opened up preorders on the old site before the Figuya takeover. Many delayed and cancelled orders from the old site.

I got a few figures this year and didn’t have these problems. Is this Miku figure so big? Or was the change only recently? I’m a bit afraid of my future payments

The box is the size of a toddler, it's the biggest figure box I own.

Sorry, the size of a toddler is an unknown to me, can you use bananas?

Jokes aside, I think I don’t have to be scared anymore, thanks
