Anyone used Hobbyworld

[Verminator]

Placed an order with the above for one car, cost 1504 yen, postage came back as 1280yen which I thought was a little steep so I queried it with them. 'Beware the small print' which I had missed. The cost includes a 'commission ' charge because of the shipping method they use. I know its not a lot of money relativly speaking but its the principal, HLJ don't charge a commission fee so just be aware of it if you use these people.
Having said all that the site isn't too bad and they are quite upto date with their stuff

I like ordering from them. The 500 yen commission is unfortunate, but you get a 500 yen discount when you have ordered for more than 10000 yen there

I ordered from them a while back. Wasn't bothered by the handling fee at the time coz they had a stack of rims unavaileable from HLJ. I still prefer HS coz of the points system they use.

I used them earlier this year with a big order of Tamiya Enamels, Kits, Supplies and even a 1:18 Die Cast 350Z
Saeko Suzuki was very very helpful and service was great, better than HS IMHO.
