Batman 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2013 Like what had been mentioned in Frankman's Tblog, there is a local shipper that goes by the name May Ho from Amcone Express. I'd also recently engaged her service to ship for me. Items should be arriving this week and I will give my feedback after receiving the items. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
