Amazon Japan

*Powder* · 03-11-2015, 09:01 AM

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/h...-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. 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.

Thanks guys.

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!

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

Oh man, good luck to you finding one. Unless you want to go home.
