I just ordered the Love songs pink towel from CDJapan. I finished the check-out process, but on the last page it says "credit card declined." But I still got an email entitled "order confirmation." Do I have to do anything about it? It's so strange!

Does the order show up in your order history on the site?

For me, it charged me right after I placed the order o.O

Confused! Which Ayu album is right one?

If this is in the wrong area I am sorry v.v I am just really confused.

I preordered Ayumi's Party Queen album with DVD/liveDVD/GOODs and now yesasia is saying the CD/DVD/5DVD/GOODS is out of print and not available. Each site I go to is only showing 3 versions of this album (none of which is goods and/or limited edition). Do I cancel my order with yesasia or will it become available again? Who else has ordered this album from yesasia? I am wanting the Limited Box Edition if possible. I do not want blu ray at all. Please someone help and let me know which is which.

Thank you to everyone and anyone!!!

Dun worry if you've already preorder it earlier. YA states out of print as it has hit it's preorder quota and will not confirm any more orders till it had extra physical copies.
Unless u got an email from them stating that you order is cancel as they were unable to secure a copy for you. If not, you've nothing to worry.

Ordering from hmv.co.jp

Thinking about ordering from here for the first time, but for some of the items I'm ordering, it says "This item is embargoed item." and I'm not sure what that means.

I live on the east coast of the US, and I've never had to pay customs charges for ANYTHING and I've ordered from YA, CDJ, and amazon.co.jp. Ranging from small things to huge things like the Rock 'n' Roll Circus box set or the Love songs/ayu-mi-x 7 vinyl sets.

So what does this mean, and should I be concerned?

Thanks!

When it's mentioned This item is embargoed item , it means that this particular item you plan to order from HMV Japan , HMV Japan is not allowed to ship it to be sold outside of Japan

I've seen that before in some items since I've been ordering from HMV Japan for the past 4 years so yeah :x , it has nothing to do with taxes but rather it's exclusively only can be purchased in Japan itself

I don't really have any problems since most of the items I've purchased from HMV Japan don't have this tag mentioned but I've seen it slapped on some items before such as Kumi Kuu's TRICK DVD & also EXILE ATSUSHI's DVD too

ahaha yeah times like this , it does especially when you want to order something from HMV Japan but finding out they cannot sell it outside of Japan D:

But considering I've been ordering from them for the past 4 years , I always use their services if I were to order Japan press stuff unlike CDJapan if not YesAsia since as a HMV Japan member , they always give me generous discounts & sometimes , the cost I have to pay inclusive of EMS shipping tends to be lower than the actual cost of the item itself

The discount effect's not really felt so much for singles but for albums & concert DVDs , yeah it's a big thing for me . The amount I've got discounted for from HMV Japan can be used to offset the EMS shipping x)

I guess itīs because the palybuttons have batterys inside (cause they work like MP3 Players, you need to charge them via USB)
Some ppl also had the same Problem back with the RNRC Boxset because it had food (the tea) inside.

Because a USB donīt has batterys.
I canīt explain it well in english, batterys or rechargable batterys like they are in MP3 players have liquid or paste inside, which can run out or so and destroy things or skin. (I really can't explain it well in english because I donīt know the specific words xD)
So some countrys may not allowed this stuff to be imporeted so HMV doesnīt ship it.

Yes, the liquid in most batteries is corrosive and can cause damage to the human body (even if you don't touch it, it can still be inhaled). This liquid may start leaking from the battery at any time, but particularly if it has been lying unused for a while. Some batteries may also even be flammable (I think some rechargeable batteries, like the ones used in MP3-players and possibly PLAYBUTTONS, may have this risk), not to mention that a battery can easily power a bomb. So with the current customs security concerning liquids and possible bomb materials, it's not easy to get them through.

If you purchase an item from CDJapan using Paypal prior to a shipping cost change, will they still try to charge you the difference?
