I also wanna know how is amazon.jp compared to cdjapan, yesasia, and HMV...coz I just ordered the boxset from them and it was my first time.

Thanks for your replies guys. I guess the only thing I can really do is wait some more. :P

Though, I do hope I get my orders - or at least the second one, since it was the limited editions of Chiaki Kuriyama's debut single. :dead

Anyways... I can't decide really do you think it's safer just to buy the box set from CDJapan? I'm really not sure about Play-Asia it seems like they think they'll get a lot of copies that's why the preorder is still open.

where are you residing in though ?

if I want to get items though Amazon Japan which my most recent order was a boxset (no , not ayumi's lol but my 2nd box of BREAKERZ's frontman DAIGO's first trading card collection set) , I have to use a middleman service as Amazon Japan cannot ship items to people living outside of Japan

it usually takes a few days for the middleman to receive whatever items I asked them to order on Amazon Japan & the middleman has a variety of shipping methods for me to select

I used to go for EMS which's really whack . The thought of paying so much $ for shipping fee really make me shudder

I usually go for normal airmail as I don't mind to wait still waiting for BREAKERZ's GRAND FINALE ~Seishun Days~ pamphlet though T-T

Is it safe to choose regular air mail for CDJapan? Would they refund or replace if I don't receive my stuff, or am I just gonna get blamed for not choosing registered airmail? XD It's so hard to decide, haha. I kind of want to order RnRC CD-only, but I'm also in doubt now.

I think they'll replace it xD Same goes for YesAsia and Play-Asia.

I have a question about Play-Asia! :)

Do they usually include External Bonus items? Like posters?
Cause I ordered the box-set through them and in theory that'd give me the right to get 2 posters (the album one and AT09 one) but I have a feeling I won't get any of em through Play-Asia..

Does anyone know about that?

basically if you pre-order it fast enough,you'll get it.this is based on my experience during the you were.../ballad single pre-order.although i didn't pre-order from there,but i know they do give the posters out IF you pre-order it within 2 weeks after they placed the stuff on their site.i can't confirm if they do the same for this time.they themself couldn't confirm you that because they will tell you their supplier didn't tell them anything =.="
so you have to take the risk for the 1st press item and poster.

^ well.. but is the limited box like.. ALWAYS first press? Since it's a limited item.

Also, I ordered literally 2 hours after it became available on their website, so I should be fine then right? :)

yes.i think it should be available.but i can't say 100% they will give it to you.i myself never try that :P

For CDJ, to enter the lucky draw, you have to order before 7th April. Since I'm paying with registered cash, as long as I check out before the 7th I'd be in, right? Doesn't matter when they'll get my money?

i need help.i just pre-order an album(not ayu =.=") from cdjapan.and i choose EMS.the release date for the album(not ayu =.=") is 14th april.do you think i'll receive it on monday(12 april)?

From my experience when I preorder Yw/BALLAD from CDJapan, I recieve my cd the day it was release using EMS.

i see.then it seems like not much difference with registered airmail o.O
because i received my single on the day it released using registered airmail.i guess its depend on the location?

Really registered mail on the same day? Thats pretty quick! The reason I pick EMS is I like to track where my package at and I want my stuff to arrive quickly. I live in the U.S. so it might be a little different elsewhere.

ya.i receive my registered airmail parcel from cdjapan ON the release date.they sent out the parcel on 25dec and i received it on 29dec.and,i can track my registered airmail parcel too!
ya.maybe its the location problem because i live quite near to japan :D

haha, silly me. I was on cdjapan website now, and going thru the shipping methods and I guess I can get it registed airmail to U.S. with tracking #'s. On the chart it says tracking # not available and I scrolled down a little it says Airmail to US with tracking #. Oh well, I remember it for the future.

I'm too lazy to find out y self... so can anyone tell me which site should i order from[Rock 'n' roll circus japan press +dvd] to singapore so that it'll be the cheapest? HMV jp, CDJapan or yesasia?

hmm,the cheapest is play-asia.they provide free delivery.but if you wanna choose from the three you mention,i think it should be yesasia followed by hmv,then cdjapan
