I've used YA like more than 30 times and I have never had any trouble, lost or broken purchases...

and the shipping is ALWAYS free if you make an order of +36USD and it has to be always standard shipping.. so of course for 1 merchandise of 10USD they will make you pay...

Agree with all that you said
Never had any problems with YesAsia either.
They shipped my Y/B yesterday WITH the poster, and I preordered it in the end of November.

The eternal battle between YA & CDJ XD

oh and they send the posters separate, so be prepare that you will get your cd or the poster first, they arrive on different days.

A little bias here against YA...
I've used CD Japan, YA, and HMV all of them were fine. NO bad experience with either of them =)

U cant blame YA for adding up prices for the shipping of poster since CD Japan also did the same thing if posters were included. They also charge u for the shipment fee don't they?
In fact YA gives free shipping of posters for single/album IF u pre-order it before any freebies were mention ( I got it twice ^^ foc).
And YA provides poster tubes for poster shipping whereas CD Japan just stuff it in a card box, which is why YA had to ship the CD n poster separately. If you giving YA negative points for shipping the poster properly then... idk... Cos I think it's a better way to ship posters by tube instead of just a card box.
And it's cheaper for those who lives far from japan since CD Japan charges shipment fee whereas YA provides free shipment.
All of them have their pros n cons which is why i didnt stick to one. I'll just choose whichever is the best for me @ the time when I'm ordering.

You're right, I always see which is cheaper because I don't care about other things as long as my order arrives home safe.

So, people stop dispute about which is better, I didn't ask it
(sorry if I'm rude, I don't say this to anyone specifically)


Finally I found out that YA split my shipment because packeage issues. I didn't found out before, and because of they send me the second e-mail an hour later, I got nervious (it was a long hour lol). They say this in their frequent questions:
"We may arrange for orders to be split into separate shipments if it benefits the customer, e.g. if one of the items in the order has a later release date, or if the full shipment is extra bulky"

Must I ask an admin to close this thread?
