about YesAsia
 

hello,I buy 5 ayupans in yesasia,2 of arena tour 2009 and 3 of rock n roll circus album,when i buy,in yesasia said,shipping date 15 june,but in the mail that they send me to confirm order said,shipping date 19 june
when they shipping my ayupans?
I hope that they will shipping on 15,i can't wait xD

The date of shipping is 19 june wich yesasia send on confirmation by mail. Surely the ayupans will arrive as soon as possible. You dont be surprised if the ayupans arrive before 19 june Yesasia is the best and more efficient:lech:lech

.. You serious? In my experience, YesAsia orders arrive at least 1, and usually about 2 weeks after the shipping date.

Maybe it's different for each country, or I was just unlucky :)

But yeah they'll ship the 19th, and like I said from my experience, they'll probably arrive at the end of June / beginning of July.

ooh,i can't wait for july xD,i want my ayupans now >_<,c'mon yesasia,c'mon

Yeah, Yesasia is definitely not the most efficient. XD They're really slow~

Yeah I think they're slow aswell... but you'll get an confirmation when they shipped your order so it will be ok, just be patient, I know it's hard to wait for packages haha :D

i have fear... O_O

They never lost anything from me it just takes 2 - 3 weeks to get to me :) Don't worry you will get your items, it will just take a while...

i always get my stuff within 1 week! and if its delayed they send me an email about it :yes

I don't think there are slow. It's depend if you take the free shipping (2weeks) or the quick shipping.
The shipping can take a long time because of country.
Personnally I'vnever had any problem with YA.

Most of the date are an expected shipping date, for my ringnote being late I have been mailed as shipping date for 16 and it was sent few days after and so what ?! As long it arrives safe at home I don't care at all it takes two weeks from Hong Kong to reach France as long I receive it. Patience is the key of life ! XD trust me !

My "encore 09" ayupans will arrive in July now so yeah dun really care lol me I just wish she announce the 49th single and preorder it with album ayupan to reach the free shipping once more lol and before the album ayupan go sold out lol

I remember buying a DVD on yeasia.com and it reached me within 4 days, without using EMS! Than I ordered some Ayupan and it took about 8 days. I think, it depends on where you live and how fast your local post office works, as well.

Also, as far as I know, Yesasia ships european orders first to Belgium and from there they ship it to its final destination. They do this to prevent high customs duties.

^ My Yesasia packages come through Germany usually... also the first few times I ordered from there I got the packages pretty fast, but lately it got a lot slower...

My last order with YesAsia arrived 3 weeks after the original date planned (1-2 weeks) so I took like a month to arrive! :eviltongu I feel so insecure to buy with YesAsia now! :no

I have to wait days for a reply of my mails to the customer service of YesAsia, when I sent a mail to CDjapan about my order they replied me the next day!

CDjapan >>>> YesAsia

^my last shopping at yesasia was you were.../ballad and asia tour 2008 but was delayed 1 month O_O,but this i am very nervous,actually i buy at cdjapan
cdjapan>yesasia ^^

There were two orders that arrived 8 (!) weeks after the shipping date, so that was kinda slow. (I live in Germany) But there were also others that arrived within days.

i understand the way you feel , the same thing happen to me . i hate yesasia costumer service .... its just awfull

cdjapan or yesasia ---> without hesitation i d give my vote to cdjapan ( they are WAY MORE profetional)

Really?
My experiences with yesasia's customer service were really positive. When I wrote to them about the package that still hadn't arrived, they assumed that it was lost and immediatly gave me my money back. (I felt kinda bad when the package then arrived^^)
And it's also much cheaper to order from when you live in Europe (I think...)

I've been using YesAsia since 2007 and I haven't had any major poblems with them! Once I received a CD with its case broken and not only did they send me a new case but they also gave me a $5 discount coupon :D It's true that lately packages take almost 2 weeks to arrive (I remember that I used to get my orders within one week in 2007...) but they are the cheapest choice if you live in Europe.

At least it has the free international shipping

yes but people tend to forget for the same item they are overpriced compare to cdjapan . in the end its like if you were paying the shipping .its not "truly" free . its like the poster , they will overpriced the cd of 10$ so its like buying the poster 10$ .
also to get free shipping you need to order 40$ so when you order just a single you still have to add the shipping fees .

i dont know the exact prices for each country but when it comes to US i prefer to use cdjapan its safer , faster, more profetional ( and even though the shipping is not free when you add it to their price they come about the same with yesasia or a few bucks less than yesasia) .

i guess the only advantage of yesasia are those oveseas hk and taiwanese press for those who are on a budget

^i agree with you lacus i also stick with hmv ( they have an HANDSOME service ) and Mu-mo , especially when it come with extra ( the best website i ever bought from so far )

i also use amazon co jp once in a while for cds that are sold out , or that i can't find anywhere else because they are too "old "

i think its wise to comapre prices and shipping , make a grand total and buy from whoever is the cheappest with the best service . there is so many choices out there it would be a shame to order from only one of them . if people wanna have some extra money in their wallet not being faithfull to one website is the best solution

ps : i wonder if the new single gossip candy will come with extra gift on mumo . i love the got to be real cover

Yah for shipping CD Japan is generally faster and yesasia really varies
My one package - 3 weeks to get here
my next one - like 4 days.

Yikes. It seems like for people in US and Canada CDJ is the best choice and for others: YA. As I'm living in the US, I'm glad I ordered from CDJ even if they're shipping is pretty steep. :P Like gothicayu said, it ends up not being that different from YA since while shipping is cheap, the CD prices are jacked up. I will be buying some tour merch from YA tho so I'll just see how that goes and hope everything goes well. :P

I still wanna keep my options open though. I would like to buy from mu-mo since I got myself a tenso address now :D but I'm still nervous about buying from a site I have to use Google Translator to understand anything from, lol.

When it comes to actual shipping quotes and transit times and such:
HMV > CDJapan > YesAsia

When it comes to packaging:
YesAsia > CDJapan > HMV

When it comes to actual customer service when you're questioning them:
CDJapan > YesAsia > HMV

I kind of wish YA would instate a coupon campaign or point campaign like the two other vendors (and make EVERYTHING qualify for Free International Shipping). I wish CDJapan's shipping quotes weren't so steep. I wish that HMV would give us another shipping option other than EMS.

All three are reliable in some form or another, it just really depends on your patience and how much you're willing to spend to get goods. No vendor is perfect. :)

Ranma Matsuri --> lucky u order from cdjapan . its definatly the best for an order from US and you earn points evrytime you order which you can use later to get discount and you dont have to worry about your order not being shipped or arrived yet .

have you think of trying hmv ? http://www.hmv.co.jp/en/index.asp unlike mumo the website is in english . you dont need to use google translator

lacus-- > thanks for the info i was kind of hoping it would come with handsome gift like its all love single. since its only a postal card i might as well just order the first press from cdj

HarukaKamiya--> i agree no vendor is perfect i feel your pain about the ems price being high for hmv but at least nothing get lost and its super fast .we pay more for quality .
when i use sal option it takes 4 weeks or more , arrive in poor condition and tend to get lost easily or have stuff missing because package have been open .SAL is dirt cheap ...but its at your own risk .i rather pay more and have a package that will take a week or 2 and be able to track it or at least not worry about it .

if only hmv or mumo open a store located in each country it would make things much more simple and save us a lot on shipping price . i m sure more people would order more often from them

Ranma Matsuri -->i dont know what you are looking to buy but if you are lucky enough sometimes there is fans that resell their japanese version brand new or like new for cheap and ship from US .

Oh, it's not the price of the shipping that bothers me. It's just the lack of options, just because there are always going to be days when nobody is at my house to sign for my package. HMV has nearly a thousand dollars (or will have once all my pre-orders are complete) of my money. I'm not switching anytime soon. xD

I had the same. They replied to my email almost instantly =o

ooh,today the ayupans on rock n roll circus is on sale,but...waiting 21 days to shipping???ooh,i ordered on 12 june,but i must wait 21 days to the shipping?i cant't wait >_<

this also happend with the NL tour ayupans :thud

Hey, thanks for that. :) I checked out the website and it looks like it could be useful. ;)

Though, having a Japanese mailing address is only part of the solution: a *lot* of JP websites still only accept credit/debit cards issued from a Japanese bank. :(

The only place that I can think off of the top of my head that a Tenso address would be useful is when using Amazon.co.jp and its marketplace since it accepts Western credit cards.
