This really sucks☹️. I much prefer DHL or a similar courier service for high value items, because the local postal services through which EMS parcels come in have major problems with theft of high-value goods.

USA would be EMS as well if it weren't for our Cheeto and his tariffs. 

Personally Im glad they gave us EMS, cause DHL has gotten even more expensive with their new price increase. For a doll I wouldnt mind paying it, but if I’m just looking at accessories and clothes ? I don’t wanna be doubling the cost of my order just in shipping fees.
I’ve never had any problems with EMS, it still gets here in a week or so, and my order today only cost about 3k yen in shipping. This hobby is expensive enough, the least they can do is give us affordable shipping lol
