It's only a select few artists where i always buy Japan Press. Also, I buy so much Korean and some Chinese stuff as well, that it just becomes easier to use YA as CDJ doesn't carry those things. And those concert collectibles is another recent extra plus with YA. Most times I just wait 'til they're on sale to buy them, but it's still a nice extra.

CDJapan and YesAsia have nothing to do with the customs charge and the laws of the country you live in. I have quite a different experience, for instance YesAsia stuff used to come within 3 weeks after the parcel has been dispatched, but then the last two parcels I've ordered took over 40 days, with CDJapan it takes a week at most, not to mention that unlike YesAsia they have a decent shipping prices
(yes I live in Serbia and for some reason we're not valid for free shipping @ YesAsia anymore and their shipping prices are ridiculous). YesAsia is cheaper cuz they offer the HK/other Asian versions of the releases, bu their customer service is slow and it takes them days to reply while CDJapan pretty much answers in less than 24 hrs. As for the custom charges I only ever get charged once when my order had 3 CDs and a Mashimaro toy xD
