^ Well, it's EMS shipping, so i think i should pay for that. EMS is the only way for me to get that^^ lol. I can't wait

interesting!

I really don't know but I think they will. Just it's EMS and pretty expensive. Look at the prices in my order( maybe you won't believe but i got 2CD+DVD version for 10$ cheaper than on Cdjapan or Yesasia - I REALLY LOVE PRICES ON HMV :love)

^ I know, i got MW poster folded. But with the same order i got AT07 dvd and CDL07-08 VERY CHEAP so i really don't mind poter, i was happy to have live dvds^^. My Days/GREEN single was from CDJapan and poster in very good condition. But now I'm taking new album with 10$ discount + I am and Rainbow with 20% Discount so I'm really happy now^^ Just I'm only a student so my money are limited

I prefer Ya or CD Japan then with unfolded posters.
And I alsways take normal shipping. Why pay a lot of $ more just for a few days... I mean when I oredr via normal airmail at CD Japan I get it in ap. 3 days. At YA I get it normaly withing 1-2 weeks.
*hugs her new Mika album that arrived today*

^Well, because of situation on my country(i'm saying about how bad mail organized here), I cann't be really sure that my package will come, or will come in good condition if I will use even airmail.
Anyway there is only EMS shipping at HMV, and with their discounts it's the same or even low price than on CDjapan - just package will come faster, so if you don't order something with posters it's the best shop!^^

Yeah I was gonna say the same thing! It says on YesAsia's page that shipping for the item is free and it will be included in the cd's shipment. Ayumi_lover, maybe you should check HMV's page for next level again.

Were do you live that you can´t be sure it will arrive safe? o.o

I didn't know that! Because I've never ever ordered from them. From now on I'll be ordering all posterless disks from there. :P
Are they answering on the e-mails as fast as CD Japan?
I wonder what price would be for USB Drive [First Press] on eBay and yahoo? Probably around $200 if not $300 >_< GOD I want it so badly!! T_T

EDIT: No way they still have SWEET PERFECT BOX? O___o I GOTTA BUY IT!!!

Well, i got all answers to my e-mails in 24 hours. Well, i think I will send them a letter and ask about delivery. I just remember about A COMPLETE lottery, that people who ordered A COMPLETE through CDJapan with EMS shipping was asked to pay for extra shipping^^

i finally got my chance of getting the first press USB from yahoo auc. i have a question for those who collect ayupans. y do you collect them? (just wanna know y) because i have only collected mags,books,cds,n' dvds. the only stuff i havent started collecting were the ayupans and her concert goods. please give me ur opinion. maybe ill start getting them too ^^

how much is EMS shipping at HMV? is there a standard rate there or does it change depending on the weight??

^depend on weight. Well last my order was 608gr and I paid 20$ for that weight. It was A complete 3cd+dvd+photbook

I just get the cute ones or of my fave outfits. I like trinkets and figures and after you get over their silly eyes they are quite cute (I was introduced to Ayupans through the animated show and it freaked me out a little! :tired ).

I don't have many, mostly the cutest ones in nice dresses ^_^ I don't feel the need to get all of them, I'm more casual with this kind of thing!

Just random post.. I just want to express this.hehe

I saw a Cawaii magazine with ayu on the cover (A Complete)in a boutique. Because of my excitement I immediately bought it. When I opened it i was shocked because the captions are not Japanese but Chinese. It was too late I realized that it's a Taiwan version. I browse the wholepage and no ayu features! erRRr..I'm mad of myself! Fool me there was no Cawaii issue with an A Complete cover. hahahaha. But when I looked again the whole magazine it's so cool and funky! i like it but I hope it was Japan version so I can at least read the pages...After all I bought it for only $5.hehe

since i dont want to start a new thread, what are the major items you always want to purchase of ayumi? for example, for me it would be magazines, cds/dvds, concert items(just started collecting), ayupans(just started as well). im not trying to collect everything of her but having some is great. im not rushing to get all ayupans, im more interested in her concert ones ^^ how about U?

I’m kind of the same, I’ve got most things of Ayu’s that I want now though. Most I don’t have are too expensive or I can’t justify getting them just now!

I have collected:
~All albums (all but 2 are JP presses)
~A few concert DVDs (most are OS presses)
~About ¼ of her singles (mostly the ones I liked most from her back catalogue and I will buy every one she releases from now on)
~Ayupans that I like (I’m not even going to TRY to get all of these!)
~Tour goods that are practical or will look best on display
~A few books (I have Uraayu, DejiDeji and a magazine)

Ayu is very hard to collect “everything” from. I’d go so far to say that it’s impossible (unless you’re very lucky or rich!) to get all her music and goods now. I just get the things I like most because I’ll never have a full collection anyway :P
