Just saw this now on Amiami’s english website. And the battle for online anime retail supremacy heats up with this announcement! Traditionally Amiami has always had one of the lowest prices (usually 20%+ off on model kits), add the 50% discount in shipping and you have yourself a fiesta in February!
For the mechanics of this February slash off on shipping prices (this is just me copy pasting, it might change so be sure to check at Amiami’s site for updates)
-Orders to be shipped in February are eligible for half-off shipping!
-This promotion is for international shipments only; shipping fees inside Japan will remain at 500 yen.
-You will see the discounted shipping when you receive your final, combined invoice for your shipment from us. There’s no need to contact us to request the shipping discount.
-Unfortunately, products ordered in February whose shipping date is from March (pre-orders, back-orders, etc) are not eligible for discounted shipping.
-Products ordered before January that will be invoiced and ship in February (pre-orders, back-orders, etc.) are eligible for discounted shipping.
-If you received an invoice during January for a new shipment that has not been shipped yet, your shipping costs will be recalculated. Please be patient as we prepare your new invoice.
-We expect a rush of orders following this announcement so please be aware that mail and shipments may be slightly delayed. We ask for your patience and understanding during this period.
-If there are any problems caused by our being unprepared for the number of orders received, or by any related shipping problems, we may be forced to cancel this promotion prior the the end of February.
-Unfortunately, we cannot accept requests for half-off shipping for orders with outstanding payment requests (i.e. if you have already received a payment reminder for your order during January).
If you have any questions at all, or need clarification, please feel free to contact us at any time.
You’ve probably found this out already but AmiAmi is extending their 50% shipping discount to cover the month of March as well. More money out of my wallet!
Actually I didn’t
Thanks for giving me a heads up on this DW Chun… yeah sales like these can really put a big hole in your wallet as well as test your self control … hehehe
