PlasticSmith Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I have used plaza_japan the eBay seller many times for my other hobby (N scale model railroading) and they are excellent. If this is the same guy then there should be no issues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PlasticSmith Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 It's a large box and shipping from Japan these days is expensive. During the peak of Covid last year there were massive delays with shipments from Japan, so many retailers now no longer offer the budget shipping options and will only offer tracked shipping that is considerably more expensive. I just tried a couple of model train items on that site and the shipping costs for those are what I'd expect for Japan these days. You could check Hobbysearch Japan and compare shipping rates there. I'm guessing the shipping rates will be similar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Place Japan is fine. I’ve order from their site before, so no worries there. But as stated above, shipping options are now more limited and more expensive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ElectroSoldier Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Get it shipped to a drop point in Japan. Once you get enough to make a surface consignment worth while you can ship it cheap. £40 for Tamiya F-14A is nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As mentioned, shipping options, costs and times have changed with the pandemic but that applies to all vendors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
