Im curious on ppls experience on importing things from Japan..people in Canada in particular. Im curious how much added cost importing from Japan adds. As an AES collector i prefer Japanese versions..not just for the price (although thats the main factor) but also the artwork. Most of the AES carts near me tend to be expensive US versions though.
I just used a place called Buyee.jp, looks like they're owned by Tenso. I've had no issues whatsoever with these guys, 4 transactions down. I've heard some people complaining about shipping prices from their warehouse, especially when consolidating multiple packages into one. I thought the fee's were acceptable, each to their own.
For the life of me I can't figure out how to calculate shipping. How would I know what to bid? I mean, you pay shipping twice.
Buyee is fine if you are sending via EMS. The problem is they flat out lie about not being able to send via Surface. I wanted a monitor shipped here via Surface since EMS was something lime $300 and they replied saying that it was too big. I then told them to send it to a friend in Japan and he sent it, along with other things packed into it via Surface. That one really irritated me.
