Change in price for You were... / BALLAD on YA?
 

I've pre-ordered them, but the price was 23$, it's now 32$, in CAD.
Why did this happen?
Talking about the CD/DVD versions?
Anyone else notice this?

yes.yesasia changed the price because previously,their first press item is only the jacket card.but now,they are giving out posters too and they raise the price also =.="

This is why I don't like YesAsia when they price their things. They increased the price because of a poster that's supposed to be free? At least CDjapan actually sticks to the actual price as it would be sold in Japan, 1000 yen / 1800 yen.

i wonder why they do so.i almost wanna cancel my cdjapan order and use yesasia service because of the poster.luckily i found out that the price is expensive than cdjapan.i think the item + shipping fee at cdjapan is much more cheaper than yesasia

^^ yeah but the YA increase in price is nothing compared to the shipping costs of CDJapan

^ Yesasia shipping is much more expansive if you're going to use EMS, if you're using regular mail it's pretty cheap on cdjapan too

to earn more $ mah Pei Yee

I personally have seen ayaka's History 2006 - 2009 ; 2 CDs with photobook , the price jacked up all the way from US$35+ to US$49.99 on YesAsia

still , it went outta print sooner or later

i'm not sure bout other country,but this is the price include shipping fee to my country,malaysia :

Yesasia : US$31.95 (CD VERSION )
CDJapan : USD14.9867 (CD VERSION)


so far,the differences is quite obvious.one is giving so-called free poster and another so far does not announce bout this.
the shipping option i choose is normal airmail

all i know is that whenever i buy a single from CDJapan and pick the cheapest/slowest shipping, it still costs about $30 total, for a CD only single. add in another single and that's another $30 (they won't even combine shipping). $60 for two cd only singles sucks.

When you pre-order at YA you always have to order as soon as possible, because when you order before they add the poster you will get the normal price + poster, not the raised price.

o.O
its like that?
that quite unfair for those who just pre-ordered >.<

bo pian Pei Yee

that's why I never really had any good experiences when comes to YesAsia

it's business at the end of the day

hmm,i guess i better use UHU gum to stick myself with cdjapan :P
use yesasia when make bulk order with friends or order lots of things

^^CDJapan doesn't have the poster at all, or at least hasn't announced it yet.

oh wow, that totally sucks. and the poster is supposed to be free? what rip-offs.

Hah, Luckily I bought it cheaper..
^.^ What are the slip case, or covers or whatever they are? +S

I bought it cheap too^-^
but are the poster the first press presen????

i've bought it cheaper too...
and it's really make me wonder, why is the price change so~ different?
i've got all versions of the singles -
with posters...

This is what I have always thought, until last night.
I ordered two CDs and a DVD yesterday. Just for the heck of it, I decided to directly compare CDJapan and Yesasia, since even though I was very hesitant to risk buying from Yesasia (since I've had problems from them before, and because so many people have problems receiving damaged goods), I'm not exactly rich right now and don't want to pay for the extra shipping at CDJapan. But every item I bought turned out to be a few more dollars expensive at Yesasia for each item. So much so, that even though the shipping at CDJapan was fifteen USD, it was still about five dollars cheaper to buy from there compared to Yesasia. Combine that with the awesome discounts you get from CDJapan (like frequent shopper points or any coupons you have), and you're getting a good bargain.
I mean, I knew Yesasia overpriced a lot of stuff compared to other stores, but dang. D: (I know I seem cheap, to make such a deal about ten or fifteen dollars, but... If you're broke like I am, that's another two day's worth of food you can afford, hah!) Unless you're buying more than five CDs at a time, go for CDJapan. They are guaranteed to be cheaper. (But if you're buying ten CDs in one order, than the shipping might equal out to be more.)

Just going to wait until the cheaper OS version comes out, sometimes they give out free poster too like the NL album I bought from YA.

weird. well i get the free shipping with YA and it turns out cheaper than CdJapan. for example:

4 Japan version CD-only singles from CdJapan w/shipping= $120
4 Japan version CD-only singles from YA w/free shipping= $52

less than half of the price of CdJapan. but of course their packaging isn't as great, but so far i haven't received anything damaged :D

yeah I wouldn't deny that YesAsia's good if you do bulk orders in escaping paying shipping fee as compared to CDJapan

it boils down to the individual at the end of the day & now that both sites's sales are counted towards Oricon , it's even better

i'm sure cdjapan is gonna have posters too right? (I preordered in there...)



and ugh yesasia wont give my money back x__x they dont refund money, instead they keep it for you and u can use it in your next order, and if your first cancelled order was shipping free, they will take USD10 aprox. from the total you payed for :S

all happened bcose my parcel got lost and sent back to them... and they wanna charge me USD10 so they re-ship it... so either way, refund or shipped again, I will have to pay more!!!! WTF

I'm sticking with YA no matter what. I've never had any problems receiving my stuff in a timely manner and never had anything damaged. Plus free shipping. :)

I always check with both cdjapan and yesasia before making the final decicion becuase depending on where u live and how many cds u order sometimes is cheaper in yesasia and sometimes it isnt. It also has to be noted that a friend of mine heard that when yesasia sends a poster they send it in another separate tub while cdjapan folds it up and sends it with the cd. Maybe thats why yesasia jack up the price. I need confirmetion on the poster tub info because if yesasia does send the poster in a tub and cdjapan doesnt then I am sticking with yesasia even with the extra charges.

i agree with you those poster are supposed to be free . that's a big increase of the price is quite ridiculous .
anyway yesasia always charge for poster , i dont know if you notice but all the posters they sells on the website taiwanese or chinese are the free posters that they get for the cd , they simply separate them and make more money that way .......

lacus ------> than yesasia is not honnest if ts" free" shiping but they extra charge to cover the shipping cost its not call "free" anymore...
this is not a good costumer service.

YA do send the poster in a tube separately. I got my Next Level poster in a rolled in a tube.

but i thought cdjapan send it using a big big box?i've seen their website saying that they rollit and put in into a big box to send to use and they don't fold the poster...it seems like the info they gave is wrong

CDJapan does not fold their posters. From my experience, they just ship in a really really long box with the rolled up poster + CDs.

I'm really gonna have to try HMV sometime. They seem like they might be really good for me. And they only problem I ever hear about them is the poster thing, but I never get posters, so whatever.

The poster should be free............

damn YesAsia..I hate them when they do something like that!

I pre-ordered it from CDJapan...I hope that they'll add the poster

I prefer to buy through CDJ early after the CDs are released and pay through PayPal funded by my bank card.

If the weight/shipping prices go up due to bonuses of the item being heavier than first announced, paying by PayPal means you don't get charged extra shipping ;)

When I ordered the DejiDeji I got upgraded to better shipping because the book exceeded the size for the cheapest shipping! :innocent:innocent:innocent:innocent:innocent

CDJ will definately add the poster+shipping for free if you've paid by PayPal through a bank card (not VISA etc)

wow...means we will get better deal if we use paypal :D
i almost wanted to pay via card but karen advised me to use paypal and i have to thank her alot :D
hmm,they won't e-mail you asking you to pay for the extra shipping fee?

yeah you should but the downside's that they only take credit cards for payment & EMS's the only shipping option they have

also depending on the person , they fold posters in which to me I don't have a problem with it

But a good thing with yesasia is if you preordered for $23 before $32 price change, that's all you'll pay and you mostlikely get the poster too, like people who preorder at $32 or from my experience in the past with days/green anyways :P

^^ AAaa, I can't afford EMS! D: I always get economy air shipping, lol.

and now,they decrease the price to USD30.75

LOL

yeah charges for EMS's nuts especially for YesAsia's case D: . I used it once & it was a 1 off thing

I always use Air Mail for CDJapan & that goes for HMV HK's & my stuff comes within 4 days :heart

YesAsia rised the price cause the poster will be send extra in a tube box and that means that the costs for YesAsia will be higher. Higher costs for YesAsia = higher price for customers. They can't charge you for shipping for a free poster, so they gain the money back this way.
Don't complain guys. They could do easy and just fold the poster. But they don't and make the price a bit higher.
And I don't know about you, but 10$ aren't that much more expensive in my currency.

in case if anyone want to pre-order it but think that the shipping fee cdjapan charge is expensive,or the price at yesasia is expensive,here is another option to pre-order it.i believe this is cheaper and it provide free shipping.
Please click the link on my siggy :D

Yeah, Play-Asia is actually a really good site, just they sometimes don't have nearly as much variety as others because, you know, it's mainly a video game store. But they have good prices, both regular and shipping, and the few times I ordered, my items arrived pretty fast.

ya.i think this is the first time they accept pre-orders for ayu's single?because i remember they do not have pre-order for sunrise/sunset single

^ I believe so too cause I remember trying to order SS from Play-Asia and they didn't have it until after a couple of weeks after it was release. They're are super cheap, $11 (US $) for CD only. Going to ordered from them.

10$ for a poster? they're crazier and crazier.
No crisis in YesAsia i see.
