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.)

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
