YesAsia has good prices and with few things I can have free shipping costs :yes (well.. mainly because of the €uro thing lol). Ok it take long time to arrived, but I'm patient :laugh

Same. XD I only use CDJapan when I have to because, although Yesasia's prices are higher, the free shipping will usually make it cheaper in the end after you add on CDJapan's $2903850239502 shipping cost.

It sucks, 'cause I just found this CD that I REALLY need from Amazon.co.jp, and like the song isn't available for download anywhere and it's really old and there's only one copy left and I'll never have a chance to get it again probably, and they want to charge me $22 for shipping for a CD that's freaking $11. >:[

CDJapan~~~~~~~~~~

YA aren't bad, but their shipping is much slower now, it used to reach me within 5 to 10 days, but it's now at least 8 to 3 weeks! I had gotten my kuu's Yume No Uta cd case crack, it was horrible, it can't hold the cd anymore! Before i open the cd, i can feel the CD clanging around!

My friend had once got 2 missing orders, although they want to resend her the items, but they were already sold out, it's the AT08 ayupans and the NEXT LEVEL hairgums!!!!! She was super pissed off, coz when her NEXT LEVEL hairgums did not arrive in 2 weeks, she send them an email(they were still available back then!), but YA took 3 days to reply her mail and ask her to wait for 2 more weeks first, so she waited to find that her order didn't came and they aren't in stock anymore, when she demand YA to compensate her, all they told her was to use register mail in the future to prevent lost mail! but this won't happen if YA just resend her the items in the first place! anyway, my friend had lost hope in YA's, now i'm helping her to get from middleman through mumo instead.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

CDJapan shipping is expensive, but SUPER FAST!
if it's a preorder item and using EMS, it normally reach me on the release date, safe and sound with supreme packaging.
Even their regular shipping will reach me within 4 to 10 days with great packaging.

As for first press items, they state the EXACT number of the remaining amount on the site when it's running low, so you will know whether you get the first press or not.
Compare to YA, you either have to order super early to secure the first press or email them to ask.

oh, and YA's email replies feel so robot like....you can ask anyone who have major problems or enquries about their order at YA, they should receive those 'standard replies'.....

nowadays, i only use YA to get OS press of cd or anime or tour goodies, but i'm now a bit scared about my friend's experience, 2 lost mails of [sold-out] items!!!!! that sounds bad....

Both have good service though. I honestly don't know who to vote for. I'm going to have to think about this more. Hopefully I don't forget and never come back to this thread.

Jesus, I forgot to come back to this thread.

I choose YesAsia.

LacusClyne 25th December 2009 02:41 AM

^so which one did you vote for?????

KarenPang 25th December 2009 06:50 AM

CDJapan for me but their shipping can be really X____X for me to handle

if I want to order bulk items , I go with HMV Japan & ironically , CDJapan's airmail charges sometimes can be a lot more expensive than HMV Japan's EMS shipping charges o_O

for OS presses , I go for HMV HK as they're great . If not I ask my Taiwanese friend Cliff to get certain Taiwan presses for me , it's usually 1st press stuff anyway

aqua_crystal 25th December 2009 08:08 AM

Yesasia. Thanks to its free shipping and the fact that it actually sells goods.

After YA's free shipping offer is over, I'll move back to CDJapan because its got the cheaper prices.

sanzo2011 25th December 2009 08:37 AM

i always buy from Yesasia.

Lanz16 25th December 2009 10:55 AM

My first choice of buying CDs online is CDJ.
Because it has a fast shipping and reasonable fixed prices.
And the points discount is a plus!

The downside of it was the ridiculously expensive shipping!
Why should I pay $10 shipping for just one CD only single worth $10 too. ">_>

I always go there to see if the first press is available.



Yesasia in other hand, I love the free shipping and the freebies.
I love the toy capsules they give away and sometimes, they had this discount every month or something.

I only use YA if CDJ ran out of first press I wanted.


So, I'll go for CDJ since there are lots of stuffs that I found on CDJ that I didn't find in YA like the CD case cover.

YesAsia :yes

Mai82Go 25th December 2009 09:40 PM

Yesasia because of free shipping and no custom fees. And it's really fast for me, too. A week from HK to Germany that's the usual time it takes.

ville 27th December 2009 01:10 PM

i have to say CDjapan, but you can get chinese/korean albums from YesAsia so...

mellody 29th December 2009 05:43 PM

I guess CDJapan, since it counts towards Oricon, I would go that way...

Tom Punks 29th December 2009 05:52 PM

^ Yesasia counts toward Oricon too now.

keepsgettinbetter 3rd January 2010 12:15 AM

I prefer YesAsia, since I generally order in bulk, therefore I can take advantage of the free shipping. However, if I'm not eligible for free shipping, I'll go to CDJapan.

Picaflor 7/4 3rd January 2010 07:56 AM

I want to say yesasia but idk. Half the time they don't have what I'm looking for. like shock -unmei cd/dvd. last time i checked, cdjapan had it in stock and yesasia didn't. and cd/dvd past/future. (again, last time i checked) cdjapan had it in stock AND first press, and yesasia didn't.

Yesasia has free shipping, but I realized every item is roughly 5 dollars more expensive than cd japan, so in the end it all works out the same for me. and alot of times yesasia doesn't have the cover art for their stuff while cd japan does and includes alot of information on the items as well.

personally I'd say yesasia, but honestly I have to go with cdjapan.

YesAsia does have stock for the CD + DVD of SHOCK -Unmei- - http://www.yesasia.com/global/shock-...0-en/info.html

that's weird, they didn't have it last time I checked. but thanks. not like I can afford it now anyways. <<

anyways check out the differences.

yesasia - 20 dollars free shipping.
cdjapan - 16 dollars, shipping not included.

i think for having the free shipping, yesasia makes up for it by making everything more expensive. I would say "3 cheers for coupons" but they only work on orders more than 3000 yen. lol so just throw in a random cd and use as many coupons as possible lol.

y_nathz 7th February 2010 08:32 AM

YA coz of the free shipping :laugh

ayumi.hamasaki 8th February 2010 09:00 AM

YesAsia because they sell tour goods, have free shipping and the prices are ok

I wish my items would come in 1 week

it usually takes 2 weeks now since they directly send it to germany (before that it came through belgium)
