Amazon Japan

[Powder]

Has anyone here ever used it? This article makes it out to be a piece of cake, no different than using your native version of the site, but I have to assume there must be some instances of folks not wanting to ship internationally & whatnot. http://cdn.halcyonrealms.com/japan/how-to-order-from-amazon-japan-a-detailed-buying-guide/

There's something on there I really wanna grab but I dunno if there'd be any snags with it. Curious if anyone on the drome can tell me their experience.

I've never shopped on Japanese Amazon myself, but I do know about this site Tenso and their guide to shopping on Japanese websites (http://www.tenso.com/en/guide/buy/index.html). From what I understand, Tenso is a middle man you can go through to get things shipped to, then from Tenso to you, I think under the assumption that Japanese Amazon doesn't ship to the US?

Again, never done this. I just know about it.

Amazon Japan won't ship over here. Like Net said you'll need to use Tenso or a similar service. Tenso is probably the best one.

Damn, I figured as much. Seemed too good to be true. Guess I'll have to give Tenso a shot, unless by some rare chance a Japanese dromer wants to do me a favor. :trazz: Thanks guys.

Could've just PM'd me....I haven't been kicked out of the country yet...

[Netkeeper]

How long you gonna be there, out of curiosity?

How long you gonna be there, out of curiosity?Dunno. If I manage to find a new job, at least another year. If not, April, since my visa expires at the end of March.

Well, to be honest, the thought had crossed my mind, but I didn't feel I knew you well enough to ask such a favor of you, when I doubt I'd be in a position to do much more than reimburse you. But hey if that's something you'd be willing to do some time in the future, well, that's awfully nice of you! :tsmile:

I bought Pokemon black off of it when it was released in Japan. I had no problems.

Dunno. If I manage to find a new job, at least another year. If not, April, since my visa expires at the end of March.
Oh man, good luck to you finding one. Unless you want to go home.
