How would I find my importer number?![]()
If you don't already have one you probably don't need onebut some couriers were panicking after Brexit happened and it's more-or-less instant to apply for an individual 'EORI' number through the government website (you should be able to get away with giving just your delivery details though as you're presumably importing Marmalade Boy as a private person, not for commercial reasons, unless the sender filled in the documents incorrectly!)

Regarding Cautious Hero's LE, if you don't mind the shipping costs, the UK version (which is 100% identical as I own it) is still available if that helps.Don't know if I'm alone or not (suspect not actually) but it seems Rightstuf has big issues with getting stock in.
An order I've placed back in July still isn't shipped out and this morning I got an email they've removed Bofuri LE from the order as they also earlier did with Cautious Hero LE.
Your not the only one I did 2 rightstuff order back when they did the summer birthday sale. One with all in stock items and then a second with some out of stock items with "expecting more soon", but I am still waiting on that second order: and I think those items holding it up are: interveiw with moster girls, Tales of the Abyss and unbreakable machine dolls. Kamisma kiss S1 they have since got in stock, but certainly a slow process.Don't know if I'm alone or not (suspect not actually) but it seems Rightstuf has big issues with getting stock in.

One would suspect as a customer that when you ordered something and one or more titles in your order aren't in stock that the rest is at least set aside for you. This is clearly not the case with Rightstuf ... you've been warned
There was still one title in my order which hasn't been in stock for over two months (Date a Live III in fact) so now I had this removed from the order, so that the rest can finally be shipped out.
Also informed them that Duty and Tax Deposit should also be adjusted as it's still the same although $111 worth of items was removed from the order.
My personal experience with Rightstuf customer care took a serious dive in the last years, don't know if I'm the only one here.
As far as my experience goes: Rightstuf actually does put the items back for my order, if they are going OOS. However this is not shown in your order status. So if you have a complex order, you might set instock notification alerts for items not yet in stock.Yes, be aware if you order something OOS from Rightstuf and include other items in the same order, those items will not be put back for your order.
Sentai restocks faster - and the restock date listed at Sentai.com usually matches the date for Rightstuf (+/- 1 week)
That's exactly what I did for Cautious Hero where I got the UK version, but due to personal reasons I forgot to work proactively for Bofuri.Regarding Cautious Hero's LE, if you don't mind the shipping costs, the UK version (which is 100% identical as I own it) is still available if that helps.
Rightstuf thought Funimation would deliver additional copies, as Funimation themselves didn't state them as unavaiable at that time. And more often than not, RightStuf already "ordered" copies from Funimation, but Funimation failed to deliver.Then I ask myself the question, why on earth to they put such titles in a sale then.
I've ordered from AliExpress several times in the past couple of years. This wasn't to the UK, mind you, but I'd be surprised if the experience was vastly different. Since you're basically buying from 'third party sellers' with AliExpress just serving as the marketplace, it's always good to pay close attention to reviews. In many cases it's either 4.5+ or no/low ratings, there seems to be no middle ground.Has anyone ever ordered something from AliExpress? If so, how was it?
Not so sure on a thread but shonen and seinen are simply demographics. Shonen is aimed at teenage boys while seinen is aimed at young men. Same for shojo and josei which target a female audience. It's quite a big misconception that these four are seen as genres.Wasn't sure where to post this but figured here is fine.
Is there a thread somewhere on the forum that briefly describes the sub areas of anime such as shonen, seinen etc?
I realise I've been watching anime for years and I'm still not entirely clear on all of them. It might be nice/useful for new members to have a pinned thread that simply describes them. I realise it might be a lot of work for someone so no worries if it's too much hassle bit thought it might be good if someone who feels up to the task to put a post together.
Unfortunately that article uses the incorrect definitions for shojo-ai and shonen-ai which mean something very different in Japan. It also refers to demographics as subgenres. Aside from a few issues it seems to be a decent enough reference but not one I'd recommend lolA quick Google search found this, read to your hearts content, it is a very loooong article!

That does seem pretty in depth. I guess my point was that this is an anime forum where people might come to learn more about anime if they're just starting to get into it and as such it might be nice to have it's own glossary of terms (in an easy to find place) for stuff where we just use the Japanese word.A quick Google search found this, read to your hearts content, it is a very loooong article!
