If you use their shipping calculator to see how much it would cost to ship it doesn't include the 410

Hope this helps

Thanks for clarification...

I think i paid 1890 yen for 2 ironhides...

Damnit, $32 in duty for 2 MP Ironhides from HLJ...

I've been noticing that >10,000 yen seems to be the "notice" zone for customs these days.

No. My order from NY was ECO SAL and I can also track from Japanpost. Also arrived today.

Yeah I never got dinged importing 2 MP cars at a time. Guess I've learned my lesson. Would choosing a different shipping option have made any difference?

Not when you're buying two MPs of that value. Still over 10,000.

yah it was $32 for me too. wtf is the $10 Handling fee? shouldn't it be duty?

first time dinged. in comparison, my mp magnus wasn't even looked at. I had three on that order too.

[silvciv888]

oh wait.
it's a Canada post charge

plus:

Note: The $9.95 charged by Canada Post will not be refunded on EMS - Priority mail items, and the CBSA will not refund any broker's fees or shipping and handling costs.

Geez. I don't want to pay $32 duty on a $100 toy.

[Darth Cylon]

I've got only dinged once with MP-13 with years of ordering toys from Japan.

Still a better deal than buying from a local or US stores back in the day. $32 isn't that considered what you could have paid if you are charge US$ these days.
