Wow that's so eye opening @no3Ljm - thanks, it really puts into perspective when ordering from Japan nowadays. Just before the pandemic, I was complaining about 3,000Y EMS to Canada for similiar sized/weight toys, but now that's increased over 3 fold (that's only 4yrs ago)!!! I had to factor in brokerage fees and customs, duties and taxes for us Canukleheads (if it was anything other than EMS - and still I had a 50:50 chance of customs), but not only is the toys getting so expensive, the shipping is astronomical nowadays. I wished I got a 300% increase in my wages over the last 4 years!!!
