Ayu x ViVi collaboration charity T-shirt to be released

[truehappiness]

The account creation for mu-mo is in English on the site. However, you will also need to make a TENSO account if you are shipping overseas.

http://www.tenso.com/en/ <-- make an account here [Free Registration on the top right]

And then make an account at mu-mo using this link. http://shop.mu-mo.net/slink/avx/sv/reg2?jsiteid=MSG

It's pretty straightforward to register for mu-mo, but...

At that link, click Agree to Register.

Then enter your e-mail into the [blank / USERNAME] @ [blank e-mail host / GMAIL.COM or whatever your provider is] form and click CONFIRM. On the following page, click the ENTRY button. Check your e-mail for the confirmation to lead into the next step of the registration process.

At this page, enter in your desired USERNAME/ID and PASSWORD, LAST NAME / FIRST NAME, BIRTH DATE, GENDER/SEX, NICKNAME [for display on the site], SECRET QUESTION. You can select who your FAVORITE ARTISTS are but that's not required. (ADDRESS and CONTACTS are going to be for TENSO so you do not need to fill those in.)

Click CONFIRM at the bottom of the page. They will then ask you to confirm your information on the next page. If it is correct, click the REGISTER button at the bottom right.

You should be a member of mu-mo and Tenso now.

I want this. Never ordered from mumo and never used tenso.
Considering the shirt is 1500 yen, how much would I have to put out total to get this shirt and have it shipped to the US?

[TeamAyu2004]

Well, if i understand everything right there is a service fee and the shipping...
It looks like it depends on oh much the shirt weights...
http://www.tenso.com/en/guide/fee/index.html
That has all the prices... do we know how much the shirt weighs??

[nanakopy87]

the tenso fee and shipping fee is from 1390yen (this is the minimum fee they charge)
if you are from USA,the fee you need to pay should be around 1590-1890yen

[truehappiness]

I suppose you probably will have to spend about 2x the price, minimum. So there's the 1500yen for the shirt/donation, and then 1500+~ yen for shipping and fees.

This is always the case when buying from Japan though.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

which is more than the t-shirt itself. ridiculous.

[Blasterion]

yeah it's ridiculous, but yes that's always the case.
especially when the item you want is "cheap", the fees are usually more the item itself

[relmy]

I wouldn't mind paying the Tenso fees if Tenso donated them to the same charity that the t-shirt is going to.

[truehappiness]

Well, they can't exactly ship for free, that's just crazy. Even when people do transactions for members here to be nice and lend a helping hand, there will almost always be a fee attached to it to pay them for their time.

The way I see it though is that it is a hell of a lot cheaper to just pay the fees than to move to Japan and start living there just so you can avoid the fees.

Yes. i agree with this. They are providing a service.
And I had to laugh at the last part... but i think living in the country would be so fun! lol

[Neo Daydream]

oo! I want this! I will pre-order as soon as I can! ^^

[g~sus~]

I'll buy it =) It looks nice anyway haha

[jbrat2219]

I can't afford shipping AND middle man fees. I wish they would sell it in other stores. CDJ sells clothes, don't they?

[Blasterion]

I would be pretty pissed to see when CDJ or YA will also sell this, when I already bought it through middleman services LOL

[Bigtop]

Actually now, I'm now not even supporting it. I'm quite surprised that you're also supposed to have a Tenso account (I do) and a separate mu-mo account (that one, NO). Even I would question the trustworthiness. And what he/she said above, I kind of agree with that too. I'd rather do all-cash donation to a charity that I can trust (such as Red Cross, World Vision, Salvation Army, ADRA, etc.).

[gothicayu]

bigtop ---> exactly ! , one more thing shock me , tenso is a japanese company , how come they haven't made any donation yet to help japan ? ....

if people from outside japan wanna buy it and collect it because its an ayu item i can understand but saying that its all for the good of japan your giving 15$ to tenso , which will only make them richer when its the people in japan we are supposed to help not commercial companies.

(ps: not really ayu linked but for those who wanna help japan bying tee shirts here is a link http://prayforjapanshirt.myshopify.com/ 100 percent of the funds will go to japan however they only ship to US , for international ayu fans who wanna help here are other way to help if you are outside of the US http://prayforjapanshirt.myshopify.com/pages/helpjapan , here is japan red cross http://www.jrc.or.jp/english/relief/..._00002070.html)

[thatstacey]

^I'm sorry, but those myshopify links look so shady to me. I'd rather donate directly.

Good lord is Mu-Mo slow right now.

[ayumisrael]

I ordered my shirt (L size)! ^^

A lot probably order it died earlier and it's slower!

[nanakopy87]

the site is slow.but manage to place my order XD

when will they charge my credit card?now or after they shipped the t-shirts out?

[thatstacey]

uuugggh I got an error about my credit card's "oosori?" (クレジットカードのオーソリに失敗しました。) What does that refer to? Authorization?

I don't get it. I was able to order from mu-mo pre-overseas store just fine.

Edit: nanakopy87, it said it will charge your card when the items are ready to ship (April 20)
