Hi!

I was wondering if you could possibly list out how much the total would be (for each item and grand total!) for these items please? <3
I'm just trying to compare prices right now and so far yours have been the best.. so here goes nothing. XD

Substitute plush

Sentret tail (bottom right corner - there are two of these but I'd like a quote for the smaller looking one from the ad): http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/Vengro/Album%203/IMG_2179_zps4567cfd9.jpg

Let's see...

Substitute plush >about 20$

Miltank strap and a notebook below it: >strap: 12$, notebook: I don't know yet, but probably no more than 10$!

Both variations of the clearfiles: >8$ each! (I think there's only 2 types of Pokemon Item clearfiles in total?)

Moo Moo cookies! >probably 12$

3DS LL Hard Cover (the one on the left with Miltank): I'd estimate 15$

The "Tails" series isn't out yet though, is it? But it might be by the time I do the pickups. :)

Sentret tail (bottom right corner - there are two of these but I'd like a quote for the smaller looking one from the ad): >The small one is probably around 12$!

Slowpoke iPhone case: iphone cases are usually around 30$-ish!

Hope the rough estimates help. :)

Awesome, thank you! Maybe I'll hold off on the tail until you confirm that..? I think I should be okay with the rest of the stuff though (assuming it's not more than you quoted!).

Just one last thing, how much would you estimate shipping to be (to Canada in a box)?

I'm sorry, I have no idea about shipping! Because... well, I have no idea how much all of that could weigh, I'm really bad at guessing D:

If it helps you guess, 1 Kg by AIR would be about 25$.

That sounds okay!
So should I just wait a couple weeks until you're back and we'll work it out from there? :o

Well, if you want a pickup around the end of January (my next date), we should work it out before then. :) The price of the tail won't vary more than one dollar or two more or less, so it's nothing to worry about, I'd imagine!
You can give me a detailed list of the items you're 100% sure about, and we can calculate the deposit from there.

I'd love another pickup from you! :D

I was going to say that if those prices are firm, I would commit to them all! I understand that your prices are an approximation (but most likely accurate?), but that uncertainty is kind of making me a little unsure what the final total is.

I'm thinking that your estimations should be about accurate, but are there certain circumstances where they would be raised
(since I believe most of the prices on the promo are listed in yen already)?

Sorry for all the questions, I just want to make sure what I am committing to, I hope that's understandable. XD

No problem! They're most likely firm, the only doubt would be in case I don't know if an item is available/how much shelf price, so in this case I think the total won't vary from what I quoted so far :'D I just usually say it's an estimate to be safe because I don't want to have bad surprises when I go to the Pokecen, you see?

caffwin January 22 2013, 21:34:39 UTC
Alright! I'll take them all~ :D

EDIT: Wow, totally blanked out or something. Let me know how much the deposit is and I'll happily send that your way. ^_^

Sure! Just one thing before I give you the total though...
Gin is saying that the substitute plushes might be sold out in a matter of days! You might want to get one from her (she's accepting orders until tomorrow) if you want to be 100% sure to get one! It might be gone already by the weekend when I might go do the pickups...

That's fine! I just ordered some. :D

What would the total be for the rest? (Would shipping be any less since the plush was the biggest thing?)

Slowpoke iPhone case: iphone cases are usually around 30$-ish!

So total: 107$ (please double check!), which becomes 111.65$ with pp fees! My PP: aya_infinity(at)hotmail.com!

Shipping probably doesn't vary much, because even if the plush was bulky, it's also light - I'd still need to send the stuff in a box not to ruin the cookies and DS case!

Sent! :D
Thank you so much.

Yeah I'm not really sure what post offices charge by, but usually it's weight over size (for most middle sized parcels anyway), so I will take your word on it! Yay box, don't want the cookie carton to be creased haha.

Hey, sorry for messaging you again but I found out juuust now that there are apparently more items in the promo that I totally did not anticipate. D:
I was just wondering if you would be willing to add some items to my list for pickup?

It turns out, there are a few more Slowpoke items in the promo that will be released tomorrow! I really wish the photos were up (conveniently) a week ago so that I could have finalized my order then.. but if it's not too much to ask, would you be willing to pick up a Slowpoke clearfile and Slowpoke tail pen?

It's this clearfile: http://imageshack.us/a/img717/9269/cleafile.jpg
And this pen (bottom left!): http://imageshack.us/a/img600/6775/penb.jpg

There is also a Slowpoke tail pendant right above the pens being released, and I'm wondering if you would be willing to switch the Sentret tail for the Slowpoke one instead (assuming they are the same price, if not I'd happily pay the extra)? I was originally going to get them all and not bother asking for the switch, but realized that I should probably be limiting myself after seeing all of these other mandatory items for my collection.

Sorry for all the adding and switching, but either way, I would appreciate if you could let me know if that's possible at all! I actually had a dream that there would be a Slowpoke promo a few weeks ago and looks like that came true LOL. I'm also willing to pay you for any other Slowpoke items from that promo that are unannounced that you see as well if you happen to find them.

Thanks for reading this gigantic message and please let me know what you think. XD

Sure, that's no problem! I have no idea how much the pen will be though, so I'd settle that after the pickup? With the shipping payment, that is.

I can switch the tails, and the clearfile will probably be 8$. :)

Let me know if that's ok, I don't need any adjustment deposit right now!

caffwin January 25 2013, 23:39:34 UTC
AHH! Thank you, you are just the best. ;O;

It's okay, we can definitely sort the price of the pen after! Your prices are all reasonable so I'm not worried. XD
Thank you so so much for willing to change things around for me, this is seriously going to be the best batch of goodies I've ever ordered from Japan. <3

Also if there does happen to be a Substitute plush, I would absolutely love one! Just in case it happens to be there (which is unlikely).

Okay! Just let me know what to send when you're back from the pickup. I'm excited! :D
