Is their service and shipping much faster? It wouldn't make much sense to order from R10 otherwise, since their prices are identical compared to HLJ.

They have a better selection than HLJ. Nothing against HLJ but R10 seems to keep a better stock of items.

All of my orders from them are shipped within two days. HLJ always take longer, and charge more for shipping. Then only thing I don't like is the lack of encryption in their website. Had to send them my cc info by email. I was a bit nervous about it but never had any problems. You only have to do it one time.

Having placed my first ever modeling related order with HLJ I was really disapointed by the end result.
They only wanted to send it by EMS because of the size, so I paid in excess of 60€ for shipping 8 kits from Japan to Europe. and than had to pay another 50€ customs taxes. All this for kits worth about 160€!

Than I discovered R10! Prices were lower (at least for the kits I bought) and the kits were readily available.
They ship with whtever method you chose, and if the weight is more than 2kgs they do pack it in several SAL packs. This way I pay only around 4€ shipping costs for a kit!
And the best part is that they declare it as gift or/with very very low prices and I don't have to pay customs taxes.

R10 prices even beats the HK eBay sellers in at least 50% of the cases.

They accept PayPal too so no worries on E-mailing them cc info.

I got my Lancia today. The SAL shipping is a little slow but their srvice is excellent and it was packed very well in a sturdy box and the model was shrink wrapped inside. Some people mentioned the decals in this kit as not being any good, I think they look fine to me. I will buy from them again for sure.
