Edit: nvm!!
I've made a couple orders from them, didn't run into any real issues. Their shipping rates seem pretty high and at the times I made my orders there was no combined shipping discount. That might be different now with their "consolidated shipping" option. At any rate the total per-figure cost is high enough that it seems made specifically to make up for their frequent sales.
But I also made my orders with a healthy bit of suspicion since they obviously make a fair bit of their profits making and selling counterfeit unassembled/unpainted kits, which sort've automatically makes them a bit shady. Still, it's a way of getting figures which otherwise aren't available through legit channels.
I've heard GK Model has better quality castings for their knock-offs. I've never had any dealings with them though. For some reason they have two separate storefronts for English and Chinese (URLs removed...realized after posting this I probably shouldn't link to stores selling fakes!)

I happened across it while searching for a figure that came out a few years ago so is somewhat hard to find now. It is a good deal on it, but not so much so that I would doubt its authenticity. Anyway, this shop was not listed in the shop feedback/rating section here, so wanted to ask if anyone had ever heard of it or purchased from there and how their experience went.
Thanks!!
I bought one in stocks and two predorders from them recently. The one in stock took 2 months to arrive and came in broken pieces, mainly bows on her clothes and hair strands. I contacted them and basically was told that "minimal" damage like that is common and I should just suck it up and hot glue it myself. Or they say they can take it back and fix it if I pay return shipping and another round of shipping to myself again. And the process would take 3 months. I asked how will they fix it. They said hot glue....
This is completely absurd. I received a broken figure and they won't replace or refund. So I filed a dispute with Paypal (thanks god I used Paypal to purchase) and it is currently under review. Today I logged into E2046 to find my account frozen and banned from buying anything and my 2 predorders have been cancelled without receiving back any refunds for the cancellation either. It shows as cash coupon that have issued for cancellation but withdrawn from my account seconds after that.
TL;DR: E2046 sent me a broken figure told me to suck it up and now stole all my money from preorders. I wonder if anyone has anything like that happened to them or has had bad experience with E2046 before.
If you are interested in Japanese, please look into it.
Also, please feel free to PM if there is something you want to buy.

For anyone who's ordered from them, how is their track record for shipping items internationally? Can I safely use SAL or should I shell out extra for EMS to be cautious?
Didn't get an answer, but I ordered from alicebooks anyway since I really wanted this doujin. I'll give a review for anyone thinking of buying from them.
You can only pay with a card, no paypal accepted. My least favorite part is that there's 2 shipping options: Unregistered SAL and EMS. I went for SAL and my items arrived exactly in a week with no damage. Even without tracking, they are still reliable in terms of packaging and getting the items to their destination. Plus, using the site was very easy.
While I had a good experience with alicebooks, I would still recommend other sites before them because of the lack of shipping and payment options. I hope this mini-review was helpful.
Thank you so much.
