well better to run out of space than to run out of money, even though both can be helped by the same thing (selling your figures :ph34r: )
shipping costs really are the final boss, for every 5 figures i could afford an extra one if shipping would cost nothing
if you combine that with the taxes of 19% (which are total bullshit for products that arent also available to buy here) that you have to pay in the EU a 13000 yen figure (100 €) suddenly costs 175€
the neko rem looks really adorable, i hope the base is not as flimsy as it looks
With DHL currently being my only option from AmiAmi, excluding the horrendous surface mail option which takes as long as ordering off Wish or AliExpress, shipping prices are like...
$20 per 1/8 or game prize figure, on average (some prize figures have larger boxes, and can go for $30-40 shipping)
$30-40 per 1/7-1/6 figure, on average (excluding the 1/7 shiromuku figures with $140 shipping per, some can go $40-60)
$60-90 per 1/4 figure, on average
I've actually paid more for shipping than the value of several of my figures, which is kind of sad
I could go back through my purchase history and calculate how much I actually spent on shipping alone, but the number would probably scare me

DHL prices are fairly consistent, because the prices are based on the box size, due to being a lightweight package, and AmiAmi almost always uses larger than necessary boxes, stuffed with paper for protection
After just checking the listings, I saw this

Ordered it
