Hi Andrew,
Yup, a quarter the US shelf price, or pretty close to. Could you resist new Tamiyas for $9.99? 1:72s for $7.80? No, neither could I... Unfortunately, he also cheats on the postage and charges for protective packing that doesn't get used, so kits arrive crushed in the mail, and eventually one dosen't arrive at all. It's a lucky dip. But they are cheap.
That package was mailed at the end of March by surface (no point in airmail, it overbalances the savings), so it's never going to show up.
By contrast I deal with a trader in Beijing who saves me enormously on Trumpeter (a quarter US shelf pice on many older armor kits, and I'm talking $100 less than shelf price here in Aus on some deluxe items) and somewhat less on Dragon, and packages always arrive, even if they are never packed as well as I'd hope. The Post Office accepts no responsibility for packages from China unless they are fully insured and packed to withstand a weight of 40lbs placed on top of them -- China Post's rep is that bad... And to claim insurance you have to surrender the goods and then they'll think about reimbursing you. So you get used to new stock arriving looking second-hand. But they are cheap...
