bethykins Posted July 19, 2012 nooo i just checked my Marisa's tracking ): when i checked the tracking number i found it says "held until receipt of payment" which means i have customs >_< has anyone ordered a dollfie before from mandrake? what did they mark the value as? i have ordered lots of figures before and they we're all marked as gifts and undervalued :/ she was coming from the Akihabara store >_< any help would be great D: I have a gorgeous family of DD girls See my profile for a list of my beauties!!

Nekopon Posted July 19, 2012 I've ordered from multiple Mandarake locations and they usually mark mine at 5,000. There has only been one time where they marked as actual value for my DDs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There has only been one time where they marked as actual value for my DDs. i hope she has been undervalued, i wonder why they marked yours at full price that time :/ if she's been marked at full price then i owe £128 or $200 D: I have a gorgeous family of DD girls See my profile for a list of my beauties!!

Mahoro Posted July 19, 2012 Their policy on their website is their maximum marking is 20000 jpy unless you specifically request otherwise (for insurance valuation). So for Saber and Rin (whom I just ordered a few weeks ago), they were marked at 20000 (though escaped customs, yay Canada Post!). I think they'll actually mark lower within reason if you ask too.

Nekopon Posted July 19, 2012 They've also asked me before if they wanted it to be marked lower so I think they'd do it if you ask them next time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
