April updates and important COVID19 information

So I hope everyone is keeping safe out there. There may be little we can actually do to combat the virus but I'm sure we can all take a gigantic bite out of our backlogs while we keep physically distant.

I can confirm I'm still shipping and Japanese domestic logistics are still working. Bandai have updated me that this month's shipment will be arriving on the 18th. This shipment includes the:

  • MG Slash ZAKU Phantom [Yzak Joule Custom]
  • HG Varguil
  • HG Zeta Plus A1 [Test Image Color]
  • MG Gundam Deathscythe EW [Rousette Unit]

Along with reissues for:

  • HG Zeta Plus C1
  • HG Gyan Krieger

And second wave shipments for:

  • HG Haze'n-thley II-Rah
  • RG Phenex NT

 

That said, due to the ongoing pandemic with numerous countries now in lockdown, Japan Post have notified me that they're operating with a drastically reduced capacity. As a result they will no longer be accepting SAL shipments to any destination from April 2nd. In additional, no Airmail or EMS shipments will be accepted to the following destinations (among others):

India
Brunei
Israel
Saudi Arabia
UAE
Turkey
Ireland
Italy
Estonia
Austria
Greece
Switzerland
Spain
Czechia
Hungary
Belgium
Poland
Portugal
Russia
Brazil
Peru
India
New Zealand
Ukraine
Chile

For those living in these countries, I will need to hold off shipping until the total effective restriction is lifted. I will endeavour to get everything out the door as fast as possible the second it does and hope everyone stays safe in the meantime.

Those living in other countries where some shipping is possible, be advised that there will be delays. That said, if you have an order using ePacket Light (SAL) shipping, I will bump that up to ePacket without extra charge to keep everything moving while the restriction is in place.

In addition, if you are at home and need something to occupy your time, you're welcome to make a purchase using the code BUILDINGBYMYSELF for 20% off any IN STOCK item. I do, however, ask that you select ePacket or EMS shipping otherwise I will need to hold and wait for ePacket Light to be accepted to your destination.

Again, everyone please keep safe and you're more than welcome to contact me for any reason including loneliness due to isolation.
