I'm not going to worry about it. I don't have the patience for SAL on this and don't want to go through trouble. I remember reading something about them not doing SAL, which may or may not be a change to their business.

Slight update to main post (other than Bran's update lol [adding that warning was a good idea])

Holy crap! They tried to deliver my Oozaru Vegeta today but I was apparently not available. How the hell does that big beast get here from Japan in only 2 days?!?!
Anybody want to take bets on whether or not I have to pay a customs fee tomorrow when I go pick it up at the post office?

Picked him up this morning, no customs fees.  Buyee anecdote complete. Summary: good idea for something that you can buy for half price directly from Japan that costs a lot of money on ebay. Didn't save me as much money as I hoped, but it was a good experiment. |

Oh, and since I don't have time to make a new topic and other stuff, I do have to mention... the Oozaru Vegeta doesn't have an offensive smell to him. I expected him to, and was pleasantly surprised. The Ichiban Kuji large, floating Shenron bootleg smells kind of like silicone, and the base on the legit one (in the swirling energy) had no smell, but the base he comes glued to smells like inflatable pool toys, really, really strong.

If shipping through SAL is possible, buyee can be much cheaper than eBay, maybe even Manda.

There are other proxy services as well. I've used both Noppin and FromJapan. Their fees are transparent and the service is fast/packaging is great.
I've never used Buyee before but I've read that they sometimes hit you with surprise fees.

Do you need to deposit the exact amount as the price of the item one wants to buy/bid on? Also, they say that they have a live chat feature. I couldn't find it anywhere on their site.

you need to deposit more than the value since its only in increments of 1000. and i never used the live chat
