You're bond to get at least one copy, however you have to snag it quickly before you get cart jacked while checking out. That's a good deal for close to MRSP when it came out and you can't go wrong when Manda changes the shipping method to DHL after being suspended at SAL for "x" amount of time. Thanks! I specified DHL as EMS has some delays too. Edited May 13, 2020 by fenrir72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vertex Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Re - SPP's I think that with the release of the latest wave prices have somewhat stabilized in the mid 8K to 9K yen for a set, at least on YJA where I've seen quite a few set go for those prices over the last 3-4 weeks or so. Figure with domestic shipping 800-1000 yen and then your freight forward fees and int'l shipping your looking at spending about 13-14K yen for a set.

Ridden001 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) Well: I had to dispute my charge through My Credit Card for my SSP. Since I ordered them in June of LAST YEAR, I couldn’t dispute it through PayPal. They never responded to my tickets asking to change shipping to UPS. I also disputed 3 charges of $234 each for the Green GFF Zaku since it was still in the range allowable to dispute through PayPal. I know covid messed things up, but they could have done a much better job communicating options to customers, they just did nothing. Good News, I ordered 2 SSP sets through ebay for $152.00 shipped DHL and already received them. Edited May 13, 2020 by Ridden001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've mentioned this a number of times now. Much love for wanting to offload, but honestly, a number of us are in the same boat. We purchased last June, got screwed in Dec, bought them elsewhere in Dec, got screwed in April, bought them elsewhere in April and have excess now. Haha. (Personally, I squared mine away so I'm good.

Grimgerde Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I had three SSPs paid pre orders on NY since last summer. After reading about the issues with EMS, and NY's lack of proactivity in reaching out to people, I kindly requested a refund through a ticket, yesterday. They essentially told me to gtfo - store credit is the best they can do. WTF! Not sure what my options are at this point. I had paid with PayPal (using my Visa card as the funding source). It's too late to put in a claim with PayPal - is it worth even trying to do so with my Visa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti88 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I just got an email from N-Y abt my HMR VF-4G. So, seems that they are starting to ship again in the midst of the pandemic. Just as a note of perhaps what is happening. Final decision is still yours... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) Your best option is to just wait it out with NY, unfortunately. I cannot recall any cases where they didn't deliver eventually, so you'll get what you paid for, it'll just be on their own nonsense timetable. Worst case, they wind up cancelling on you, in which case, I think it would have to be a full refund. Their store credit is a crock, and you do not want to have to deal with that crap, especially for that amount. I did their store credit once, and regretted everything immediately. I've got four sets on order with them, and I'm resigned to wait it out until they get around to delivering. As far as the items being in-hand or not... I wouldn't bet on it. Between their practice of buying up local stock to redistribute, and their completely faffing off the entire first round of orders, I'm thinking they're going to be hurting to deliver on all the orders they received.

totallyjem Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 NY assigned reference numbers to both parts of my order so the items are just waiting for shipping. Honestly it’s gonna be a year soon so what’s a few more months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hola @CHAVAKAISER, como estas? Un error en Nueva York? Cuando hablan de NY aqui se refieren a Nippon Yassan, por si las moscas. Quien te envio este paquete? Estabas esperando otro paquete?

But like others have said, just wait and you will get your parts. Is it really that important to get these parts immediately considering what’s going on in the world?

Bahamutzyro Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I just have to say, I ordered a set of SSP from Mandarake on Monday. I received today via DHL in New York. Top notch service. 1st time ever ordered from Mandarake. I will use them going forward. great service. Ny got back to me and said they offer other services UPS etc. I replied to them how much to ship via the alternate methods. I have 4 sets on order with them and have already paid 5600 yens to ship to New York. lets see how much they try to charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re: NY, I had 4 sets ordered as well. UPS was something like ~$36/set so the additional upcharge was like ~$144. (Just going off of memory.) I politely declined.

I'm on the east coast, but New York would probably be a bit cheaper. I turned it down, but I'm seriously considering it now. This is my last outstanding order anywhere, and I kind of want to be done with it. It feels like I'm paying a ransom, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Yeah, no, their UPS fees are highway robbery. I'm not touching that option, I paid for my shipping already. I ordered two sets on ebay for a nominal mark-up after NY fumbled the first order, so I'm going to just wait it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smacky Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I don't get the horseshit that NY is trying to feed here. This is the response I got from the customer service this morning. Date: 2020-05-14 14:59:24 Name: Marine Message: Dear customer, Thank you for your message We apologize if we were unable to send your order upon release of the product. After checked your order with the Delivery Center we regret to inform you we won't be able to ship your order on time. We will receive our stock with delay, therefore your order will be sent approximately two weeks late. But yet they were sending out orders 3 weeks ago? What gives with these guys?
