They've only ever done that periodically, but even so, it's been a while since they've done it; I got my last $5 coupon in February. It's time for another coupon campaign!

That sucks. YesAsia definitely loses its edge if you remove free shipping from the equation.

YesAsia does too, just so you know.

That is indeed a very nice feature at CDJ.

CDJapan offers 500yen coupons all the time, too, though. Purchase over 10000yen? Earn a 500yen coupon on top of the frequent shopper points (plus the cheating affiliate points that it seems a lot of people do :devil: ). They also from time-to-time have promotions for paying by PayPal (500-1000yen coupon), etc.

So I checked the tracking to find out why my From Japan package was taking so long:

i wish people wouldn't totally dismiss YesAsia. yes, their stuff is overpriced, but often time the free shipping can still make it cheaper! look at this..

Amazon.co.jp was a little cheaper than CDJapan (but only by like $5). i only checked them because i also want to get the special edition Ultra Smart PB, but i think Amazon doesn't count towards Oricon so i passed. HMV would have been cheaper without the shipping cost, but with it it was approx. $10 more (plus they don't have the UTB volume). it said i COULD get free shipping, but once i went to checkout it added the shipping cost anyway.. i guess i don't qualify or something.

i've also never had problems with damaged items from YesAsia, though i know other people have (and conversely, i've received a damaged CD from CDJapan while other people have had no problems). the point is that they can definitely be cheaper depending on what you are ordering, so it's worth checking!


I always order from YesAsia unless posters. And I have always ordered from YesAsia since something like 2001-2002.

THANK GOD!

It turns out that Japan Post's online tracking lied, and my package hadn't really been returned to sender. Instead, it was sitting in the back at my local post office, and my mail carrier had simply failed to leave me a notice to that effect. WHAT A RELIEF! If it had been returned to From Japan, it would have cost me about $60 to have them EMS it to me a second time.

Anyway, I got a nice, big box o' stuff from Yahoo Auctions Japan, including plenty of H!P OG goodies. I'll post pictures when I get a chance.

And from YesAsia in today's regular delivery: SCANDAL's "Pinheel Surfer" CD single and the Morning Musume。Stacy's Shoujo Saisatsu Kageki DVD, which I must watch tonight!

In addition to the loads of H!P stuff, I also got some AKB48 member photos:
