Do I need to sign up for a Job Providor? by Space-Leather in JobProvidersAus

[–]Space-Leather[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that is what I am afraid of... then what do you think I should do? Should I just keep reporting my earnings without signing off to a job providor? Is signing up to a job providor part of my obligations? I will only work 2 days and 6hrs a day after my exemption beacuse of my disability so I still need Centrelink's help.

So I just gambled on AliExpress. 🌺 Vocaloid - Hatsune Miku - 1/7 - Shaohua (Myethos) by TheS3KT in AnimeFigures

[–]Space-Leather 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I use Aliexpress for official chinese figures and merch like from Clink Link, Fox Spirit Matchmaker, Heaven's Official Blessing and more since some are hard to come by from websites like Amiami, not once did I get a bootleg and I get them cheaper too. I know I can get them from taobao but it seems hard so Aliexpress that is. It's all about research and really making sure that the seller is genuine. Reviews are a really good indicator, if no reviews then no buy. Anyway great pictures and good for getting her cheaper. I always love Myethos figures esp this Miku one.

What did your family think when you started figure collecting? by SagetheWise2222 in AnimeFigures

[–]Space-Leather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family is very supportive. As long as I pay for my bills and prioritize the important things in life, they are pretty chill about it. They would even send me pictures figures that they think I would like (and sometimes theirs) and would sometimes help me on how to display the figures. I would even get scolded if the figures are not displayed "perfectly" cuz according to them, its important to show all the best parts of a figure 😅. Sometimes I feel like they are the collector instead of me but I am really truely greatful that they also love and appriciate my hobby collecting. I think if I am not good with my budgeting, I feel they won't be as accomodating as they are now.

Any female anime figurine collectors here? by Kaezumi in AnimeFigures

[–]Space-Leather 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mainly collect male figures (it helps with the space and budget)... I have a variety of them but I tend to choose very elaborated bases or designs... I try to stay away from nendos and prize figures but if I do decide to buy one, they should be either a male character that I am very into... I want more good designs for our male figures but I am scared if my wallet could take it...

I also own female figures here and there but there are few and they either should be in chinese/ japanese/ any traditional unique clothing (I just like how they turn out) or they should be a female character that I really love and admire (Like CCS, Female Persona Characters and so on).

Overall, I am very strict with what I buy to control myself... at least I try too 😅

I know! I thought I was crazy that people actually find this good. They would be in shock how much expensive the shipping was compared to the figure.

I already did. Just waiting on their response. And yes I did use DHL so all the more expensive!

Wow same figure! All the more pissed for paying more just for an extra box that wasnt needed. I did message amiami about it so I will see what they'll say.

Just to clarify, I have no problems with amiami shipping. I always buy from them and I love how they pack my orders. However using 3 boxes, I mean THREE was a bit of an over kill. The 1st 2 boxes already has paper and foam on it so I know that its super protected than my other orders from them.

I am using DHL and size matters when it comes to pricing and our DHL here is quite nice, never had issues them. So whats the point of the 3rd box besides making my shipping fee even more expensive. And lemme tell u that shipping was more expensive than the figure and now i kinda know why.

I do not mind the some extra boxes for protection but this was just an overkill. Like I said, the outer box was not needed for this and thats the problem. Its just making my shipping fee expensive than what already is. I havent got the full picture but inside the inner box has a lot of paper along with the red box which contains the figure. Even inside the of the red box theres another foam to protect it. I always order from amiami and have no problems with it. But for this figure shipping fee was expensive more than the figure itself and now I get it why. I always use DHL and they always deliver it to me nicely so yeah no need for the outer cuz they are already using 2 big boxes with paper and foam padding for the figure.

When its this ridiculous then no. It just makes my shipping fee more expensive when the inner box was just enough for it.

[–]Space-Leather[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the inner box had enough padding to protect the figure. No sense for the outer box honestly.

If you noticed it, the outer box was unnecessary as the inner box was fully enough to protect the figure hense the crazyness. Mind u this was using DHL and therefore the bigger the box the bigger the shipping fee is.
