I know i cant believe it, when i recieved a email telling me that they were refunding my money for Gundam 00 collection 2, i just assumed it was because they couldnt get it.
I didnt expect to find out they were closing.

Ive ended up writing down my current wish list.

So who do people recommend for importing from?
And when do you start paying import tax on items?

Well that sucks. I just recently started using them more often.

Received e-mails this morning saying that my preorder for FMA:Brotherhood hd been cancelled and refunded, which I thought strange. So I went on their home page to find a message about how they have been named bankrupt, which absolutely sucks for them, and sucks for anyone who imports from them.

Hopefully, refunds will go through with no problems, we shall see...

I must say, I really liked how there was never any suprise import duties from them or anything, even if they were sometimes a tad pricey. Back to Amazon and Rightstuf I suppose.

There's no perfect replacement. I zoomed to Rightstuf to catch the final hours of the Sentai sale to take care of that (and some additional stuff), and everything else will be placed at a mixture of other stores. Fortunately I didn't have much outstanding as I had wound down my preorders to avoid things arriving when I'm off travelling this summer (not an issue with Rightstuf as it will take ages to arrive anyway).

This...really, really sucks. They really were the best in the market in regards to imports (particularly in terms of price).

It's a shame, it really is. Guess UP1 will become my new best friend now.

They have closed their Twitter account and their customer service e-mail addresses (and probably, their Paypal account itself) so I'd stay on top of this, all who are affected :/

UP1 are great, I use them. There's no reason not to. I just liked Axel's unrealistically good pricing and checkout.
