US Postal Forwarding / Freight Forwarder Company Review 2018 - USGoBuy Review

Well yesterday I said I will talk about how I buy my goodies from US and ship to Canada. I did some research and read a blog and UsGoBuy and other companies are listed on the site, such as Stackry, Vyking Ship, Planet Express, USendHome, Shopfans, MyUS, ExpressFromUS and Shiplto. I read the whole site and decided to give UsGoBuy a try. Because I tried their shipping calculator and Stackry's calculator, they are about the same except Stackry has extra $2 service fee per package but they cost the same! Both has non-tax US address and UsGoBuy charge nothing for repackaging. So I decided to go with UsGoBuy. 

The cheapest shipping option was USPS Priority Mail International. I used their fast ship option to do this. The dimension of the package is 19"x13"x12" and weight 8 ibs, shipping fee is $88 and that's crazy expensive!!! The company will ship within 24 hours and they will repackage the items and put all items in one box with no extra cost. The thing about this company is that you have to pay extra ahead and refund back to you after they repackage the item. The final price is $77.95 but that is still crazy expensive. But There is nothing I can do, I already used their service, the only option is to go ahead and have them ship the items to me.

19"x13"x12" Box, weight 8 ibs

2 items with foams, it has lot of protections

It only took few days to ship!! I was so happy when it arrive, but the item did not mark as a gift and I get hit by another tax fee of $58.

Beautiful Box

I love that watch!!!!

The other item in the package

 

The real USPS charge from their official site.

Final Review:

The reason anyone want to use postal forward service is to SAVE MONEY! The shipping calculator vs the real shipping cost are different! The company offer a lot of different shipping options but the cheapest option is USPS Priority Mail. I check with official USPS shipping calculator after I get the package. The actual shipping fee should be $56.65. I was charged $77.95. I understand the company has to make money.....sure. But $21.3 over charge is too much. Not only that, package didn't mark as gift, I got hit with another $58. Mark item as gift is the BASIC of shipping if the MAIN REASON we use postal forward service is to SAVE MONEY, it failed to do so.

I should have pick Stackry, since they have been in the business for a while, and they are VERY CLEAR of what is being charge, what service is included or not included and what are their prices. Unlike UsGoBuy that claim to be offer lot of services for free but hit you with "HIDDEN fees ". 

Well, I do not recommend this company if you want to safe money. I got rip-off by UsGoBuy so you guys don't have to. May be I choose Stackry next time and see what happen.

Playstation 4 Final Fantasy 15 Ultimate Collector's Edition + Play Arts Kai Notus Figure Review (Used and not Complete)

It is been a long time since I so any update or any review! Nothing since 2015 April!!! Well, I had been busy doing something else for a while, but I am back to doing reviews! I did took some pictures for some older figures but I just never do a proper review or post on any site. But I am back!

I bought this Playstation 4 Final Fantasy 15 Ultimate Collector's Edition on E-bay, it is not new and it is missing the Art Book, but everything else are included plus It is in super good condition! Also It was for a really good price so I HAVE TO BUY IT!!! It is been a long long time since I buy any Play Arts Kai figures because the bootleg problems WHERE REALLY BAD and I had stopped selling them and buying any of them for few years. But they had improved, they have this new sticker system like Bandai do, so you will know if you are buying real ones or not, also selling them are good again because the bootlegs are REALLY bad now compare to the real ones. I used to not able to tell the fake ones and the real one but now you can!

First of all the Box! It is foiled so the light reflect is really bad lol. But the box is so much nicer in real!

The Inside box

2 more boxes inside of the 2nd box. Left is Figure, Right is the Game, Movie, Anime ans such.

This is the Game Box pull out, it has such nice art on it!!! It is also magnetic.

2 metal boxes, Main Game, Brotherhood, Kingsglaive and the Sound Track.

Figure Box, The base had been taken out tho, but it is included.

The figure is sooo nice, it is so much better than the last Play Arts Kai figure I got, which is Metal Gear 5 Snake.

Close up on the weapons, They are so detailed!! the hands does not glue to the weapon, I am just too lazy to take them off because it is not easy to put them on!!!

Close up on the top

close up on the back of the jacket, look at the skull it is not painted, it is actually 3D in texture.

Close up on the boots, it is so detailed! Look at the 2 tone colors on top.

Notus holding his main weapon.

Notus hoding the collector edition exclusive weapon!

This rock is NOT included with the figure loo, it is just one of those Marvel Select extra base that I have around lol, They are very useful!!

Close up, but I swear it looks so nice nicer in real, it kind of look weird on picture...

This is a better picture, look how cool it is! The face is perfect.

Notus  holding both weapons are the same time, look really bad ass!

Final Review:
Box Art : This is for the whole over all package. Foiled outer box jacket, inner box, Game box with magnetic strips inside the box, but the figure box is a little weak, it has no open window display or any art on it but the rest made up the it. Nice metal cases. This is perfect!
Score : 10/ 10

Extra Parts included : 2 weapons, 4 extra hands and a base. Wish there is a extra head or something or more item included, but the details on the weapons are in best of the best quality!!
Score : 10/10

Figure QC : Highest QC!! Good print job, good sculpt, nice accs and extra parts! I don't see any problem with it at all. It is a PERFECT figure!!
Score : 10/ 10

Articulation : Articulation on this figure are at the same level as other Play Arts Kai figures which is Really good, but! sometimes it is hard to stand, but with a little adjusting, it will work
Score : 10 /10

Figure Design : Perfect sculpt, perfect paint job, Non shine coated applied on skin parts. 3D sculpt on jacket, pants and Shoes. The weapons are the best toy weapon I never see!!! The collector edition weapon's handle feel like it is metal screws but it is not, super hard durable plastic are used on the weapons, they won't break easily!
 Score : 10 /10

Price : Well I don't remember how much is the original price of this thing is but, I got a really good deal lol. BUT!!! I end up have to pay a lot more deal to a mistake tho. That will be talk more about it in the next post.
Score : 10 / 10
Overall : The best Play Arts Kai figure I have so far. I LOVE IT!
Score : 10+ Bad Ass, One of the Best of the best / 10
Thanks for reading and come check us out often!
