Yup , Im in the Bay Area. So I always have to watch out for tax when preordering from local sites . Which is one of the main reasons I preorder stuff in the east coast like bigbadtoystore. Or other sites that I can use coupons on like USAgundamstore to balance out the extra sales tax. Also if you preorder in Japan or when you can get a preorder in , they do offer some nice preorder discount and or cash back in points . So even with the small packet register shipping , the total will still be cheaper than USA msrp of at least $15 to $20 , and more if you adding ca sales tax. You can take a look at cdjapan , they have some of the best reward points systems , many promos too. www.cdjapan.co.jp/guide/help/account/cdjapan_rewardsAnd I do try to get my preorders in from Nippon-Yasan too since they can offer some of the best preorder prices , but that’s only if you can get it . Theses are they direct from Bandai stocks so pay later is available. Once those stocks are gone , you will see the ones that list payment requires for a bit higher , those preorders are the ones they were able to preorder from local Japanese stores. So they act as the middleman in those preorders. The most recent gff mc Rx78-02 40th anniversary was only 15400 yen before shipping . I paid the cheap 2900 yen shipping . Once you buy a bunch from them , you will also be able to summon discount codes , the highest I got was 4.5% off . They offer really nice preorders discount on macross items if you can get it on it . Then there’s amazon.jp , if the item is able to ship to the USA , it’s only 1600 yen for Dhl and they also removed sales tax. Oh. I'm in the bay area too. Where abouts are you? I’m over at Daly City , very close the the traffic city of San Francisco |
