^ I add to what ♥ you! mention for YesAsia's case in that whatever you buy on there counted towards the charts in Korea (yes I know it's weird) .
Also for HMV Japan's case , they only accept credit cards as payment . YesAsia & CDJapan accept a wide range of payment methods including PayPal
Other than those 3 sites that ♥ you! has mentioned , I will do so for
HMV HK as I tend to buy stuff from there quite frequently
pros :
- you can buy OS & Japan presses of stuff at pretty reasonable rates
- shipping charges are decent & it usually takes about 5 working days for my stuff to come
- the way that they package the items are real good just like CDJapan , strong & sturdy
cons :
- their customer service can be quite haughty/arrogant

- they only ship out items after the release date unlike the other 3 sites
- they only accept credit card as payment too
- no pic of the item are displayed on their site except for some items , not sure if this's a good or bad thing but you have to be careful in here in whether are you buying an OS or a Japan press . The dead giveaway's usually the price & also the catalogue no./record label too
