Hi all,

In the past two months, I have been trying to develop the operation in a way that we would not require pre-order. Instead, I was planning simply to import inventory that based on an estimate (guess) of local demand. However, this method made my import less efficient to meet demand, on the other hand, I still receive the inquiry on pre-orders. Therefore, we decided to resume pre-order method and updated our pre-order accordingly.

The main updates are:

• for Pre-orders under the new policy, we only charge $5, refundable before ordered item depart its country of origin;
• we will use pre-order links for four different types of transactions, which are 1) official release (guaranteed); 2) official release (luck-based); 3) restocking pre-order; 4) to-be-delivered item pre-sales;
• we will not provide pre-order price anymore since you won’t be able to know our total import cost until item arrive;
• due to the reason above, you will only cover brands that we are confident to provide good prices. These brands are DX9, Fans Hobby, Fans Toys, Iron Factory, Generation Toy, Gigapower, KFC, Mech Planet, Open and Play, Perfect Effect, TFC, TFM, Unique Toys, Zeta Toys etc. What we will NOT cover in future is Maketoys and Planet X, unless we find a new way to import them cheaper.

Pre-order is not necessary however we do appreciate pre-orders from our customers because they give our business much more certainty and help us from over-stocking inventory.

thx
