A month ago, I received a notice from GSC stating the charity Nendoroid Miku figures were shipped. If you recall, they were shipping via EMS, which for me, have an average of 5 days for delivery.

I wrote GSC two weeks later to inquire about a tracking number (and the delay) and this is the email I received:

Dear Robert

We are sorry indeed for the report's delaying.

*end of message
(bold emphasis mine)

I've left the message intact, including all the grammatical errors (love translators which pull in words like "prick").

At any rate, just wanted to FYI those who purchased.

Note: not sure how this will affect your shipping rate, but I calculated from Tokyo (SAL didn't allow me to choose from Hong Kong), but the difference in shipping was about 200Yen ($2 and change) for one figure ordered.

As a figure collector, one of my wishes was to be able to order direct from the manufacturer (you know, to save money and stuff). Well, my wish came true.
