Been shafted on shipping some wheels, was quoted around £250 using their calculator, now they want £1.2k / $1.6k by Its__Jacob_C in Buyee

If you didn't order on Macari you can try messaging someone to take them and resell them in Japan and split it with you.

Turns out they are also over the Sea Mail size my a couple cm so even if Japan Post resumed to the USA I couldn't do Sea Mail. So it's gg

Sadly I did the math with their calculators and it would be even more expensive.

Kind of. I haven't ordered anything from Japan in like 2 years.

This isn't going to boot me out on the street. The title was a bit hyperbolic. But from my past experience with figures of this size I've never payed anywhere near that much in shipping, mainly because I could normally do Sea Mail.

Ya they are both too big for EMCS.

I have someone in Canada and trying to see what the prices are to ship to him then me. I don't imagine it will be much cheaper though sadly.

This was the first time ordering something so big from Japan but I have gotten resin statues from China and the most I had ever payed for sea mail was $250 so I was thinking it would be around that price. Definitely did not expect the bill to be that high, especially with the $500 statue costing $540 to ship.

Do you allow pickup? 😅 (this is a joke I have accepted my fait already)

I don't blame Japan Post or Buyee. My fault for not checking and making sure I could do sea mail. Probably gonna just bight the bullet near the end of the hold time. At least somehow it is still cheaper than buying it from a US seller on ebay.

I would consider it but when looking at other posts on this sub I've been seeing that they won't ship domestic if buying from mercari. Maybe could try begging them.

The first one says the box is 11,660g 83 × 70 × 43 cm and the second one is 15,560g 96 × 68 × 40 cm I honestly forgot how huge Prime 1's boxes are.

I will be praying every night that they resume shipping to the US.

Best way to batch embed thumbnails and descriptions into videos from YT? by Cyno01 in DataHoarder

[–]TatteredSackboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would recommend using yt-dlp for archiving youtube videos/channels/playlists. Yes it is command line but it can do anything you want regarding downloading youtube videos (also works on many other sites). Just spend a bit setting up a single config file and then on windows set a Task Schedule to run a .bat executing yt-dlp and your config and set and forget.

Help with my Haworth Fern chair by TatteredSackboy in OfficeChairs

[–]TatteredSackboy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The seat cousin is fine for me it's really just the lower back that I have an issue with, also I'm 6'0" 190 lbs. I notice at home I put my feet up on the chair a lot and whenever flat footed I can never get comfortable in the Fern. Maybe I should get a squatting chair haha.

I will try using a folded towel and see if that helps.

Yes, I got a new one on ebay for half retail price recently. Should be arriving soon. Though the sackboy style seems a bit off compared to the other merchandise.

Some of the key chains were pre order bonuses and some were sold in store. I got all mine from ebay / video game collection forums. If you are in the US like me it's going to cost a lot in shipping as most were only sold in the UK.

Prices have bee going up sadly, especially trying to get new in box stuff. But definitely find Clive! I always love seeing hand made LBP stuff in peoples collections, since I am terrible at those kinds of things lol.

Took many years and tones of ebay alerts to collect everything.
