forget Amazon JP, and go HMV! Just reach 2500 yen and all you need to pay in additional is the handling fee of 300 yen per item. The shipping will be free! On top of that, they ship by EMS, which means no DHL addl charge crap! w00t! Too bad their product lineup is not as complete as Amazon’s… otherwise I’d be buying all my mangas and magazines from them.

ok, this sounded like a spam advertisement lol. But I’m really happy with HMV’s service I really feel like recommending them to people, especially those who aren’t lucky enough to live in a Weeaboo Land xD

I wish there was a Bookoff here… I want to sell my oversized manga phonebooks, they take up too much space =___=

Actually, my most recent Amazon.co.jp order came via FedEx. I was kinda surprised.

The shipping rates are still rape though. I try not to order from Amazon.co.jp unless I absolutely have to.

tj> I wanted them but not in advance like…I check every few weeks to see if volume x has come out of a book. I actually don’t keep track like I used to. Another sign of the changing times….

But if you knew you wanted those books, why didn’t you place orders in advance? So no need to wait…

Oh I remember the old days, hopping on a jet to Japan anytime I needed something. Oh so expensive! lol

Don’t Kinokuniya and Asahiya do special orders?

Atashi> Oh noes yaoi doujins! Thankfully I don’t have anything that isn’t resellable (Bookoff will take back all my manga really) but I had trouble selling some of my old idol magazines (Potato, Junon etc) on ebay

I remember the good ol’ days when I was fanatical about yaoi…and I ordered two Kouji X Kouichi (Digimon Frontier) doujins straight out of Japan with the little Japanese that I knew for $15. I have no clue about what to do with the books nowadays. I wonder if anyone would actually want them, or I’ll get caught for dealing ‘2-D representations of child pornography’.

But yeah, good times of ignorant, oblivious days.
