 WTF: (ie. shopping alternatives)
So I gave my mom a few things to pick up from Amazon Japan fir christmas for me since she asked. My 60 dollar order jumped to over 100 bucks after shipping... I try HMV and the two items I want are "for order, usually sent in 7-15 days".  I've been through most of the links listed on pirouzu....anyone know where I can get the Pied Piper bandscore and the Snowkel Snorkel bandscore?

 Re: WTF: (ie. shopping alternatives)
I'll use this opportunity to ask you guys which one's better: cdjapan or Amazon.

CDJapan. That's all I've used since I got My Foot from Amazon. It arrived a full two and a half weeks later than the date on the order.

 Re: WTF: (ie. shopping alternatives)
If you can find the stuff in stock on the usual suspects (cdjapan.co.jp, otaku.com, hmv.co.jp, etc) then go for it, the most important thing is to shop around for the best price.

 Re: WTF: (ie. shopping alternatives)
CDjapan it good but they sent my items or the cases broken. It happened with both of the cd's I purchased from them. Wake up and the white summer single. I kinda felt sad that it did.  There was even a little note inside that said any type of damage is not there responsibility.

 Re: WTF: (ie. shopping alternatives)
I've never had a problem with CDJapan or Amazon.jp. I have gotten special pillows posters a couple times from CDJapan; I don't know if Amazon.jp has ever given those out since I haven't gotten a new release through them.

 Re: WTF: (ie. shopping alternatives)
I find it rediculous that amazon jp charges 2000 yen just for shipping a book to North America. Thats generally half the pice of the book! More in some cases.

 Re: WTF: (ie. shopping alternatives)
I think I've mentioned this magazine somewhere before, it's really cool and even has an interview with Jun.

 Re: WTF: (ie. shopping alternatives)
I've seen that on HMV. Never picked it up though. Is it worth it?
I can't read japanese so...

 Re: WTF: (ie. shopping alternatives)
If you're only in it for the pictures, save your cash, but if you can read the articles it's really tight. I still hope to get around to translating those interviews eventually.
