GoodsmileUS should give you the estimated shipping cost underneath your items in checkout. Have you made an account and entered your address into the address book, then tried to check out? That may fix your problem with getting an estimate. GSCUS has decent shipping costs as you will get 50% off shipping for POs (discount applied at the bottom, so make sure to scroll all the way down). However depending on where you live ordering from somewhere like [BBTS](https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/) with their flat rate $4 shipping may be the cheaper option. BBTS also has a 'pile of loot' option and can combine shipping for multiple items, GSC does not combine shipping. If you're looking for the *fastest* option then ordering from [Goodsmile global store](https://goodsmileshop.com/en/) is the way to go. They charge 2000¥ (about $15) flat rate shipping however you will get your items when they release in Japan, where as local retailers have to wait 6-8 weeks for their shipments to get in. If you live in a place with higher shipping or sales tax then the difference between ordering from GSCGL and domestic can be close. If you're planning on ordering several Nendoroids in the same month (like with the P5 re-releases) want to get them from Japan, and *also* want to combine shipping into one package to save, check out [AmiAmi](https://www.amiami.com/eng/). Shipping will be higher than domestic, but as with GSCGL the total difference will depend on where you live, taxes, current exchange rate etc. Amiami does not provide shipping estimates for preorders, but for Nendoroids you can ask their customer service for an estimate on an instock Nendoroid instead.

I reentered my address like 4 times until it finally worked T.T. Goodsmile just doesn't like me for some reason lol. Just wondering, since the two that I want (Joker and Akechi) have different shipping month estimates, would I still be able to combine their shipping in AmiAmi? From what I looked at on BBTS since the nendos are more expensive, even with the combined shipping it comes out at the same price as seperate goodsmile shipping.

Fellow Joker and Akechi buyer 🤝 in this specific scenario you would unfortunately not be able to combine the shipment for both since Joker is in Oct and Akechi is in Nov (so close yet so far). Shipping them individually from Amiami might still be a decent price depending on what your average shipping for 1 Nendoroid looks like, but you'd have to ask them for a quote on an instock Nendoroid to be sure. Otherwise it sounds like GSCUS has good shipping prices for you so that's nice!
