Hatsune Miku Support Ver Nightmare
Finally both of my Hatsune Miku Support Ver arrived.
It took almost 3 months because a lot has happened: GSC staff sending the items by snail mail, PostOffice strike, customs nightmare... =_=;
But it wasn´t the end of all the nightmare as these pics shows.
I already sent a mail to GSC staff pointing them about the frail box they used this time... =w=;
I hope the next ones they start to use a sturdier and better cardboard box...
The first one arrived at 09/09
The box state was almost like it were hit by a truck... Ç3Ç
At first sight it looked ok...
And as the outside box was damaged, the same happened to the nendo´s box...
This is the second Hatsune Miku support ver that arrived at 10/17...
The box was more damanged than the fist one that it looked like it were hit multiple times by truck... X_X;
I'm still waiting for mine! ;____;
Ouch! I hope your arrive soon... ._.;
Otherwise contact the GSC support... ^^;
The estimated time was to arrive near end of october for everyone... ._.;
HOLY CRAP! lol looks like USPS played soccer with your box...
Yeah.. X_X;;;
Here in Brazil the post office is "Correios".
USPS is the US post office. ^^;
Don't even say this word !!! I hate Correios !!! it takes me a month to get a new figure :S
Now good luck with Nendoroid Gumako, if ordered it from GSC, I'm sorry to say but prepare to pay customs taxes =((
I know...
TToTT
My Gumako arrived yesterday and I had to pay custom tax... (I will post sometime a revivew of the new GSC package that they used at Gumako)
And my Puchitto support is arriving and it got taxed too... TToTT
I don’t know if this info will help you, but considering that every order from GSC will be send by EMS you have a high probability of been taxed, so, you should consider (like I'm) to use a proxy service for these orders.
I know... TToTT
Huum... Wich proxy service are you using?
I only use when I´m buying stuff from US... ^^;
Actually, I’m not using any specific proxy service, I have some trusted sellers from both Japan and Hong Kong (I order figures from them almost every month). So, I buy cheerful figures and write their address, then they send me these figures with other orders I made from them. That’s how I managed to get Nendoroid Racing Miku 2011. If you wish, I can send you their email address.
Ooh~ Add me at twitter~
@tangbr
=3
That... really... sucks...
Well, on the upside the figure will still be in mint condition. Still, it's awful to pay retail for something and it arrives like that. Heartbreaking. Especially after waiting so long for it.
Yeah... TToTT
I hope the next ones don´t arrive in that way... OTL
My box was slightly damaged but Miku was fine so I let it slide. Just happy to have her on my desk smiling at me every day.
Speak of international shipping as well as the GSC's whole international on-line direct selling concept, this kind of damage is what I worried about besides the shipping cost.
GSC is going to release that 1/8 Miku "Love is war" figure in this way. A huge box I can imagine that. What I am not willing to imagine is what will happen to it.
Unfortunately the Miku Support Nendoroids were shipped as Seamail, the other products will be send via EMS (i got my Pucchito BRS Cheerful some days ago and she arrived safe and without damages)
