I prefer to use CDJapan, mainly because Yesasia sent my copy of This is the One with a broken case, actually thats an understatement, it was like completely demolished

Also, for pre-orders I HIGHLY suggest you use CDJapan, with EMS my items come literally the day or even the day before the release date. Though it comes at a cost T_T

yes and we who actually need food and a apartment to live dont have money for this. so I'd rather wait like that extra 1 - 3 weeks for a CHEAP HQ hong kong version to come to yesasia.

last time I ordered from cdjapan I ordered two albums and one single everthing was fine but I spent 30€ to get it fast but it got stuck in the toll so it took me 3 weeks to get it as fastest and had to pay 40€ for the toll every single time

so lets see

CDs: 60€
shipping: 30€
toll: 40€

= 2 albums and 1 single now only 130€ and you will get it in 3 weeks or more! good luck!

oh dont worry guys that's just about 200 US dollars! So cheap! love it


ah yes I should tell about yesasia too!

Items Subtotal: USD 131.48
Shipping & Handling Fee : USD 25.93 / 13 shipment units
Sales Tax: USD 0.00
Grand Total : USD 157.41

can this be true? lots of singles, albums and a poster+calendar for 160 dollars?

shipping of ALL the singles, albums & poster in 4 - 8 days - split shipment - oh wait this had to cost 10,000 dollars - what? 26 dollars? all? really?

so what did the toll shi- cost! .... nothing! 0,00000€

oh the packaging must be CRAP and everything is broken? nope, the packaging was so good that I just looked at all the stuff for 5 minutes like ''you could ship bombs in these without any risk at all!''

I'll stick with yesasia

^hmm...i get your point, cdjapan shipping does costs a lot, since you are on a tight budget, how about giving hmv hongkong a try? there's OS versions and prices CAN be CHEAPER then Yesasia...oh and reach you faster.

here's the url

Some of the CDs I got from YA did come with broken CD cases, but the last time I ordered from CDJapan "a song is born"s case was totally smashed on the back so I didn't even open it yet

Atm I have more than 7k points on CDJapan so I am stuck with them for a while xD
well....YA have 2 offices, one in Hongkong and the other in US. so if you are in europe, your order is ship from US, not hongkong...since you order from the global site
