what, so just tell em to go to the post office? hmm, will give it a try, thanks again everyone, keep coming with the advice

i use Nippon express when i ge stuff from Japan

anywhere does seamail, you just tell them wether its surface or air you want

and dont use email, just pick up the phone, i had my zorst and spoiler direct from Japan, phone up Nippon UK and explained what i wanted, told them where to pick it up and where to deliver and how i wanted it sending (had it done by airmail but could have had surface)

they send a van to Trust and Blitz out in Japan and pick up my stuff, drop it in a big box, put it on a plane, fly it over, phone me from heathrow, i had to pay some extra for VAT and stuff but still saved 200quid even though it was legit! and the next day it was delieved where i work!

just give em a bell!

slightly off topic aswell but this is how fast it happened

wanted! one blitz zorst and a Trust spoiler, estimated time for a Blitz in this country 3-4 weeks! (no one had one!) Trust spoiler . . .

3 months!

for me to spend an hour or so arranging DIRECT delivery from Trust in Japan and blitz, with a quick wire transfer of cash, also helped by the shipping co for a small fee (£5.50 i think it was)

5 days later i have my new goodies :D

Yeah... 5 days is about right from the Far East by air in my experience. We have a shipment leaving deepest China tomorrow and we expect to get it on Monday or Tuesday customs allowing

Takes about 4 to 6 weeks by sea though :(
