mickyg 129 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Went with HLJ as well. Had a credit I forgot about so that helped, even though their price was already pretty good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, thanks. I was gonna ask if anyone knew what was wrong with HLJ, but figured the answers would be too long. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shizuka the Cat 328 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Got the weirdest confirmation email from HLJ. Somehow, this does not look right... My address and the order ID are both missing from the email. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My address and the order ID are both missing from the email. I got the same. No shipping address and blank Order Id, but then I got another email just now that had all the correct info. The first email was titled "Order Acknowledgement" whereas the second email with the correct info was titled "Order Confirmation" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Okay, got the confirmation. Cancelled my Amazon JP order, since HLJ was cheaper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jenius 1,184 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Does HLJ give shipping prices? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mister_e 2 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Just now, jenius said: Does HLJ give shipping prices? Not for PO items. At least, not that I've been able to find. I want to say the old site did show estimated shipping costs, but it's been awhile so I could be misremembering Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lonely Soldier Boy 23 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Did Hobby Search ever opened their PO yet? I'm waiting for them, but I might bite the bullet and get it from hlj. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roy Focker 205 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 After 20 minutes sitting in my car with my VF-1D in my Ami Ami cart not loading the submit order I gave up and went to CD Japan and got one in 3 minutes. This is my first order from them. Not thrilled paying in advanced. Would have preferred Ami Ami as I have a running point balance with them but can't wait on that broken website. And when i arrived home my Ami Ami ordered finally loaded the correct screen 40 minutes after putting it in my cart. I then deleted it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jenius 1,184 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 With CDJ, you can put a credit card on file and you won't pay in advance, only paypal pays in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shizuka the Cat 328 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) So, I decided to switch my order cancellations. I re-ordered from Amazon JP and cancelled from CD Japan. Amazon JP is 59 yen more expensive after cheapest shipping option, but their shipping supposedly delivers in 3 - 5 days, versus the SAL god knows how long that CD Japan uses. In total, I have 2 orders now. Amazon JP and HLJ. I will stick around online for a while longer to update shopping links.

sh9000 7,094 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Amazon JP is my new backup store since they’re reliable, they let me order more than 1, and orders are easy to cancel. Unfortunately not a big discount on their VF-1D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My amz-jp orders were usually 2-days received from japan release-date. Unless it's a weekend release, of course. Btw, SAL/SAL-Registered shipping from CDJ and other Japan-shops are usually 2-4 weeks. They are subject to USPS' own local delays, tho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
