    Expensive figures actually make me feel more worth it when I try to buy a $10 something and see a $40 shipping fee

    • @Awarsing
      @Awarsing  2 роки тому +1

      Yes! It be good to get items to better justify spending $40 on shipping!
      Another option can be asking if friends or family that may want to order with you!

    Do I have to pay customs when the delivery is being made?

    • @Awarsing
      @Awarsing  Рік тому

      Awesome!
      Custom charged on total cost of the items over $1000AUD (excluding GST, shipping, but includes insurance cost)
      I imagine custom will be charged when it arrives at the docks in Australia and you will receive an notification from the shipper (not AmiAmi)

      Hi!
      All good!
      You can cancel your order long as they haven't sent you the email with the final cost and link for payment.
      But do cancel it sooner rather than later.
      Here's there AmiAmi's article on cancelling policy:
      support.amiami.com/hc/en-us/articles/360035789771-How-to-cancel-an-item-order-
      They will only close your account on extreme cases, such as failing to pay for your order on time multiply times
      You may lose your AmiAmi points when you cancel a order

      Hi! It is a good question, as theres two answers.
      1. Normally you will only get the shipping price when they email your payment (after you placed your order and the item is in stock)
      2. But they do say you can send them a request for quote but if the item isn't in stock (eg. pre-order) you pick an item that's similar:

      Hi!
      It will ask for your PayPal account when making payment using the link from the payment email (between 1-3 days for payment email to arrive)
      When making your order, it won’t ask for payment as it doesn’t include the shipping and any taxes.

      Hi! GST is Goods and Service Tax and it's for imports going into Australia.
      Paypal incorporate the fee into the exchange rate, so you end up paying a little bit more, it's been about 3-5 yen less per Australian dollar.

      You'll have about 7 days to make the payment by clicking on the link or access from account page on the website.
      There may be additional import duties depending on your country when your item arrives at customs.

    Three questions.
    1.i have a PayPal account linked to my Australian bank account so when I'm purchasing on amiami thru PayPal, who does the currency conversion from and to joy?. Also, is there an extra conversion
    fee?
    2. Is GST automatically added to the payment invoice by Amiami or not?
    3. Just curious, from 6 months ago to now, hav DHL shipping prices remained relatively the same for you when you pay?

    • @Awarsing
      @Awarsing  3 роки тому +1

      Hi Jasmin,
      1. Currency conversion happens in Paypal and they deduct the AUD equivalent from your bank account
      The conversion rate includes the Paypal service fee, so it will be 2-3 YEN lower then the exchange rate
      It will show you the rate before you commit to buying
      2. Yes. 10% GST will be added to the final invoice with shipping
      It will break down in the invoice as GST
      The website is the base price, just add 10% for all store items
      3. Yes it has stay consistent based on the box size
      My lowest was 2251 YEN / $29.23 AUD both including GST (PopUp Parade Figure) - Box Size 80
      Highest 9546 YEN / $136.37 AUD both including GST
      (Most recent one: ua-cam.com/video/tblXUQp-NIE/v-deo.html , 3x medium figures)
      - Box Size 140

    Question, I’m new to Ami ami and kinda learning to get around with it. I preordered something on it back in march and it’s not getting released till June. It’s not a figure but a small plush. And it has no specific day stated but a month and year. So I was wondering does it send you an email for payment right when it’s the first day of the month? (Sorry this sounds so dumb to ask) and the video was super helpful!

    • @Awarsing
      @Awarsing  Рік тому +2

      Hi! Not at all dumb to ask!
      Payment request email will be sent when the pre-order item is released and in-stock at AmiAmi
      I find sometimes it can take up to 3 days after release for them to send the email
      You will have 7 days to complete the payment too
      Side note the release month is reference only
      It can sometime release before or after the month (eg.Date is June, it can release the first week of the July or the last week of May), but they will send you an email to let you know of any delays in release
      Which could be why there’s generally no set day for release
      Enjoy your shopping with AmiAmi!

      @Awarsing  2 роки тому

      Paypal - 1. You can pay in your countries currency and Papal will convert.
      The conversion rate will be a little bit less, as it factors in Paypal fee
      2. You can also opt to use your credit card conversion rate.
      3. Exchange to Yen in advance so you can lock in the better conversion rate than just getting what's available at time of purchase.
      Here's a help article you can check what the exchange rates and steps:

      Extra charges will be based on your country.
      You may be charged customs and import fee depending on value of the goods and packages may get opened as well. This can occur when it arrives at the country and it will be billed to you by the shipper and not AmiAmi.
      You can do a search online and see if there's any info for your country.
      ====
      I'm based in Australia and the customs duties threshold is for shipment over AUD$1000.
      I just get charged 10% for Australian tax (Paid to AmiAmi as part of grand total).

    Hey bro, I am watching this tutorial because I want to try to purchase from Amiami, I noticed at around 3:19, it only gave you 2 options for shipping, DHL and Surface, however on 4:55, it gave you 2 more additional shipping methods. Does it mean that even if you chose DHL upon checkout, you can still change the shipping to other options upon payment? Another concern that I have is with regards to import fees/customs fees that I need to pay since Amiami doesn't allow undervaluing their products.

      Hi Goob3r187!
      Thanks!
      It's good to hear from another Sydney-sider!
      I've paid between $35 - $90 AUD (includ. GST) for DHL shipping (3 business days) from AmiAmi.
      No customs fees, but 10% for GST
      There's also a "Surface Parcel" option about half the price, but can take a few weeks/months to arrive.
      I've never used it before.
      For local, Anime Kaika (near Sydney Town Hall), does decent prices if you pre-order.
      Like most Aussie stores, it stock arrives about 1 month after it's released in Japan.
      www.kaika.com.au/series/jojos-bizarre-adventure/
      Specifically for Jojo figures, I reckon Madman are okay if you wait for their 20% off sales, but you do run the risk of it being out of stock:

      @@Awarsing How chilly is it these days? Ain't it's not even winter!!
      I've been going to Kaika and got a few preorders with them.
      Have you heard of Animeworks and Sugotoys (alot of cool stuff on there too)
      But thanks so much for the tip with Madman I just purchased the star platinum and a few others on the site! Love the fact they have free shipping over $75
      Thanks again my friend 👍👍👍 keep up the good job with the uploads I've been watching alot of your vids!

      It is chilly! Part of the reason why I wear gloves for the new videos.
      Ah yes I made my first order on Sugo last month, transferred my FF7 Tifa figure from AmiAmi to them as it turn out cheaper!
      Will check out Animeworks!
      No worries, glad it helped, free shipping is so good hey!
      Thank you for the support!
