Good experience
I was sceptical at first, as animota does not have a lot of reviews - but attempted ordering because one of the figures was not available anywhere else. I ended up ordering 4 figures (all of them in stock) to utilize the shipping fee a little bit more efficient.
After I placed the order, it took 11 days (including holidays) for the shipment, arrived 4 days later in my country, stayed at import customs for 9 days and finally reached at my destination after in total 25 days from placing the order.
The order was very well packaged, padded with bubble foil everywhere and using a (for my country) unusually thick cardboard box that protected the figures perfectly. If I was to order again from Japan directly, I would definitely consider animota a second time.
