You know, depending on the weight...

Plane ticket is roughly $800 round trip for to Tokyo right now (of course I don't think I can legally go there right now)

I get a free checked item up to 50 lbs.

I could go, pick it up, see Japan for a week and essentially me flying and back would be the same as having it shipped to me.

Good God in heaven - I'm not sure I would entrust my statue to baggage handlers.

Anymore than shipping folks? I've had boxes arrive that look like dragged behind the truck

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

I work for a furniture store and Asia is really jacking up shipping rates since covid.
What used to cost us ~$2K for a container on a boat they now charge often up to $9K for the same thing. It's pretty much extortion but they know we don't have a choice because inventory is so tricky right now.

Yep....same cost for me...and yes thats standard shipping not express

The longer the box spends in transit from china to your door im the US i think the higher your chances of getting it f**ked up when it gets dropped of at your house....with all the fine details on this set and the overall cost of getting it....is it worth the risk of going cheap and shipping it economy by boat?

Not doubting you but I'm confused on the timing as some folks are getting shipping notices already.

That is what I expected not too long ago before all the shipping discussion happened. Fine by me as long she turns out well.
