Oh wow, glad I asked then.

I'm glad you asked too!

My guess would be DHL for now. SAL shipping to the US hasn't been reinstated and there is a surcharge on EMS right now.

Oh wow, glad I asked then.

I've been a happy Anime-Export shopper for about 10 years now… There's no need to worry (although there are some AE-haters on this forum).
This is how it works. Once the item is officially released and AE has gotten them in stock (which is usually on the official release date), you will get an e-mail from AE which tells you the item is in stock. The e-mail might be in your spam box, so just be aware of that. Anyhow, on day of the release, the product you ordered will move from the 'Awaiting stock' tab, to 'In stock, ready to ship' tab. You will need to request shipping manually, by ticking the box next to the item and confirming you want the item shipped. AE will then pack up the item, and once they have it boxed, you will again receive an e-mail asking you which shipping service you would like (usually either SAL or EMS). Again, you choose, and confirm by paying, and after that, you ewait. You will get a tracking code depending on the shipping service you have chosen.

Great explanation, thanks

Real quick though…I know this has been discussed lately, but I kinda missed the conversation myself. So the question is: which is the preferred shipping method to the US nowadays? SAL, EMS, DHL?

I ordered mine from Anime Export and it's causing me stress for some reason. The uncertainty of how shipping works there is freaking me out. Anyone else pre-order and go through a whole transaction there before?

Overthinking is my business and business is good!

Gonna wear a hole in the floor waiting for this guy!  

A meme which equally applies to waiting for the reissue of "Thomas!"

Fuck, man. Starscream's got us going deep into some shit LMAO

Joking aside, first and foremost, my sincerest condolences for your mother, must have been a real clusterfuck not only for her to pass away but to seemingly metaphorically die before she physically gave up the ghost, if you get what I mean.

And man, I wish I had the chance to know TCracker. From everything i've heard about him, to know him was to really love him.

All the heavy shit aside and as we kinda veer back to Starscream, we've got ourselves a real nice group here. I remember first joining here, now about a year ago, middle of the pandemic, did nothing outside of working, eating, collecting, sleeping, really didn't have anyone else to talk to in general, and as the first couple days and warm welcomes went by, then went the weeks and months, with the big reveals coming and going, I started to really feel like a member of this ragtag gang of sorts, haha. And the whole sagas with both Starscream's and Skids' reveals I think really was when I think I kinda realized that I fully ingrained myself here. This place has been honestly so much fun that it's legit one of the most visited sites I visit, on the daily, every hour of the day. At work? TFW. Waking up? TFW. At a "business meeting"? TFW. Bored outta my mind? TFW. And a lot of the reasons why is because of a lot of you out there. Not only for Transformers even, talking with the guys in the Figuarts thread about the Dragon Ball shit that's coming out, me going on occasional tirades about fucking anime and shit and Noriko from Gunbuster who's best girl (you know I had to get that one in there, tyvm…), games in various threads, I can keep going and going and going.

For now I guess i'll just say this. There's a lot of you out there, you most likely know who you are, if we ever get together as an entire collective at TFCon or something of the sort, I don't drink, but i'd honestly buy a round of drinks for you all.

I wanna give out a lot of thank yous, but I think i'm gonna leave that for when I finish a little something that i've been working on that just so happens to coincide with when the clock stuck one year since I made an account here. Of which, I will give two hints.

I know…You are going to decorate the Ikea store facade with leds!   Am i right? You have that crane and stuff there, so this was easy to quess!
