Yes shipping issues.
I had the new Hello Kitty Shinkalion sent once released but it was returned to sender after 3 weeks of sitting in Japan. I was lucky as I used HLJ for this purchase. They offer DHL and it is now on its way here, but I have had to pay for it.
I also had the new Thomas characters sent to me via Hobbysearch when they were released. I am still waiting to hear if they have been received back at HS. Unfortunately they offer only SAL and EMS so to New Zealand I have no chance of getting them anytime soon.
Also all my Japan auctions are still sitting in Japan as I can't send them either as they really only offer EMS.
In New Zealand the goverment has just opened domestic courier services to everyday items last week. But they are so over run with purchases everything is taking forever to get to people.
I just wish as other New Zealanders do that we could use Amazon JP. It always sends DHL so I know I would already have Gina and Lorrenzo.
