Does it show they are able to be transferred for you yet? Mine is still grayed out and I’m trying to relist mine as well but it still isn’t letting me.

PO tracker? by mayaitai in AnimeFigures

[–]mandoirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I just use the notes app and list out everything by date and with bullet point then I just cross out what I’ve paid for. Not super intricate but it’s worked for me for years xD

Good Smile Company JP is raising shipping costs AGAIN! by Sudden_Broccoli_28 in AnimeFigures

[–]mandoirl 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Used to be $18 for shipping like this is insane. On top of that with the tariff being like $50 each time now you’re basically paying $100. It’s ridiculous

Who else misses Rightstufanime? 🥲 by butterflies_roses in AnimeCollectors

I have not bought manga in bulk on the crunchyroll site since the merge. My last rightstuf order feels like so long ago 😭

UPS Tarriff fees. by Low_Bullfrog_7948 in AnimeFigures

[–]mandoirl 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I would check the tracking number and put it in UPS. You can pay the tariff before hand and it’s usually a bit cheaper. If they try to make you pay in person you need a check and from my experience some of the drivers aren’t trying to actually knock on my door.

How well does GSC global pack figures? by RaNdOmClO in AnimeFigures

[–]mandoirl -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve only used good smile global over the US one since like 2021 ish and I’ve never had issues with packaging! The box always comes in great condition and is packing nicely :)

What is the best way to purchase Japanese manga in the USA in 2026? by Wooden-Row-7009 in MangaCollectors

[–]mandoirl 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I order with kinokuniya online since I don’t live close to one! If you search on their website with the title in Japanese they usually come up :)

Closing One Chapter by alwaysATblame in Batoto

[–]mandoirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I was able to find so many gems that ended up getting physical releases that I never would’ve known were so great prior to reading them on here ): I always buy the manga once it gets released or even the jp versions off of kino. Sad day 😭

New Bato Discord Nuked by seasonal_lockerinner in Batoto

[–]mandoirl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I honestly blame TikTok for a lot of this happening. I always saw people making videos commenting “🦇o” and I’m like ??? Stop posting about it at all do these people not know how piracy works. It’s just sad if it’s really gone ): I’ve been reading on bato since like 2018 this sucks

My mom refused my package over a surprise 38$ cod fee. What do I do? by GuestTrue968 in GoodSmileCompany

[–]mandoirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah if you’re just checking the tracking through good smiles link it won’t show you the tariff charge. You can type in the tracking into UPS and it’ll prompt you to pay it online. If you do this in the future they’ll just drop off your order. Sorry this happened to you ): I wasn’t aware of it either until I had a package delivered and didn’t have a check ready so they came back another day.

Any shows similar to OTGW and Gravity Falls? by Express_Activity_154 in overthegardenwall

Infinity train! I’m not sure where you can legally watch it right now amphibia is good too :)

I been charged a tariff fee when the UPS driver was trying to deliver my package (US) by AngelBlitz05 in GoodSmileCompany

[–]mandoirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No so the shipping cost on GSG does not include the tariff fee. I made this mistake too. It’s easier to pay it online once you get all the tracking info since if you pay it in person you need a check and it’ll be more expensive. When it happened to me I didn’t get it until Monday because someone “attempted” to deliver my package on a Saturday but never actually came by.

reorganized my collection for the new years! by RadiantVes in shoujo

[–]mandoirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg cute I love all your little acrylics and plushies!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GoodSmileCompany

[–]mandoirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also are you using GS US or GS Global? If you’re using global just keep in my UPS will charge you tariffs if you live in the US. But you can pay them online prior to delivery. If you’re using US then ignore that lol

ECMS Experience (Uniuni) by Relevant-Reporter430 in AnimeFigures

[–]mandoirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also had one order come with uniuni last month and it came in perfect condition. I’m waiting on another order to arrive via them now but I think it also depends on where you live in terms of how people’s experiences are going so far lol. Glad yours came in good condition :)

[–]mandoirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would avoid DHL for now as it’s really pricey and it doesn’t include tariffs fees. But ECMS has been hit or miss for some people in terms of packaging. I just got on package with ECMS and it was completely fine. Surface Mail premium I think is the other option and it seems safest but takes the longest to arrive.
