During checkout, choose FedEx as your shipping method.
Enjoy a 50% discount off your FedEx shipping fees!

I know how some people try to stay away from paypal, and look, now the 50% off shipping doesn’t apply only for paypal orders! Great!

Important Terms and Conditions

Campaign is valid only for shippable orders placed between 6pm October 4 and 6pm October 15, 2010 (Japan Standard Time; GMT+9). FedEx shipping estimates on individual item pages will display the non-discounted shipping estimates for single items as usual (the discount will be applied after orders are processed for in-stock and shippable items).
Only items shippable during the campaign period will be eligible for discounted shipping. (Please note that an item that is in stock when ordered but goes out of stock before your order can be filled will NOT be eligible for the campaign.) Orders placed for backordered or future release items will be shipped (without discounted shipping) when they become available, as normal.
All HLJ payment methods are fine. When paying by credit card or a PayPal Billing Agreement, all in-stock and shippable items from your eligible order(s) will be automatically shipped, and your credit card or PayPal Billing Agreement charged as usual, in order to ensure that you get the discounted shipping. When paying by regular PayPal, we’ll send you a payment request e-mail as usual when your order is ready to ship asking you to go to PayPal’s site and authorize the payment to us.

Our system manages only one shipping method at a time, so please remember to change back to your preferred shipping method in your account after the campaign is over. Otherwise, all your orders will continue go by FedEx, even after the campaign is over.
Aside from the 50% discount on FedEx shipping, all usual terms and conditions apply.
NOTE: If a customer has an overdue payment on an earlier order, new orders will not ship until the overdue payment is completed. Make sure you take care of any overdue payments before the campaign ends to be able to take advantage of this offer.

HobbyLink Japan 70% Off Shipping Till June 24

zenical — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 05:01:53 +0000

Attention folks who love sales and discounts! HobbyLink Japan is back with 70% off shipping. If you missed the previous sale whereby you get free express shipping (it only managed to last for a day due to overwhelming response ^^), this is the chance now! This time it will run for the full period from June 22 2010 (10am JST) till June 24 (9pm JST). It has commenced already, so don’t miss your chance!

Shipping is decided by you, unlike the earlier sale whereby mode of shipment was chosen by HLJ.

In order to take advantage of this great free shipping offer, all you have to do is:

Place an order or orders for any in-stock and shippable items between 10am June 22 and 6pm June 24 (Japan Standard Time; GMT+9).
During checkout, choose PayPal or set up a PayPal Billing Agreement. Even if you don’t have a PayPal account yet, you can set that up during checkout, too!
During that process, agree to pay for your order using regular Paypal or a PayPal Billing Agreement.  Choose your preferred shipping method, too!
Enjoy a 70% discount off your shipping fees!

Important terms and conditions

Campaign is valid only for orders placed and paid for with regular PayPal or a PayPal Billing Agreement between 10am June 22 and 6pm June 24 (Japan Standard Time; GMT+9).
Only items shippable during the campaign period will be eligible for discounted shipping. (Please note that an item that is in stock when ordered but goes out of stock before your order can be filled will NOT be eligible for the campaign.) Orders placed for backordered or future release items will be shipped (without discounted shipping) when they become available, as normal.
With a PayPal Billing Agreement, all in-stock and shippable items from your eligible order(s) will be automatically shipped, and your PayPal Billing Agreement charged as usual, in order to ensure that you get the discounted shipping.

Customers can choose their preferred shipping method, as usual. All usual terms and conditions apply to shipping.
Any previous orders already waiting for payment in your account will prevent you from receiving the discounted shipping, unless paid for before the end of the campaign so that your new order can proceed.

It seems that they added another condition, that is you have to pay for your orders pending for payment first before your new order(f0r the campaign) will proceed.

Also, please note that HLJ has given 20% off their shipping fees for EMS for a certain period already, so the 20% off will still apply in this campaign. With the additional 70% off from this campaign, EMS shipping will now be entitled to 76% off. You do the maths :)

What’s next? You have to click on to HobbyLink Japan now! XD.

Hobby Search Paypal Campaign: Shipping 50% Off!

zenical — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 05:00:25 +0000

Dear readers, today I bring you another piece of good news. I got word of this campaign last week from Hobby Search. It was supposed to start last week but they changed the campaign period to 16 June 2010, that is today. Hobby Search is currently having a 50% off shipping if you use paypal as your mode of payment.

Terms and Conditions

Paypal orders and preorders placed between the period 16 June to 11 July 2010
Mode of payment has to be Paypal
Your mode of shipiping (EMS or SAL) will depend on the type of shipment you choose for your item when you place the order

Important: You cannot recombine your order with more items after the campaign period as that would change your order number which results in you not getting your 50% off shipping.

You can take a look at the shipping chart prices here.

So be sure to check out Hobby Search now!

Some items that you might want:

HobbyLink Japan Spring Sale and More!

zenical — Sun, 16 May 2010 18:35:39 +0000

Just when you thought you can resist reducing the number of figurines you purchase, our favorite retailers will surprise us with the fantastic word called “Sale”. And almost all of us aren’t able to resist the temptation and we end up overspending for the month or year XD.

Well HLJ is back again with their Spring Sale! Also they are having a Figma sale. Well I looked at the list of items available, it’s more of figma/action-based figurines. Definitely a must-check for you if you love action figures ;)

Oh by the way, do you dig HLJ new layout? I know it’s been like that for more than a month, but I’m really digging the layout XD.

HobbyLink Japan is having their Spring Sale from 15 March to 31 March 2010. Folks who love sales should check HLJ out for the item that might be waiting for you~

A couple of items there that might catch your eye. Spotted some good deals over there.
