^Oh! don't worry at all!! It's great this way if Tenso problem is not fixed people can find other alternatives!

And this "crescent shop" buys for you or gives you an address to use it like Tenso??

You could write the URL?

I know another, is called Celga. I think some people here uses it... They even have the service of joining you in a fan club. But they do all for you and you loose the control we have with Tenso...

So. If no one comes here and says "I couldn't join TA with Tenso address" Is that you can keep using Tenso to join TA ^^ The TA magazines will still go to Tenso.

The issue with Tenso is interesting. They answered me, but they though I was telling them I coudln't join TA. I send them another one explaining which is the real problem. They told me that if I want e-mail mu-mo they can translate what I want to say to japanese for me ^^

Thats what they told me:

Quote:
Dear Ms Laura  ,

Hi! This is Tenso.com support team.
Thank you for contacting us.

Below are the answers to your enquiry :

1.< So now that means that mu-mo and Tenso work together? >

Yes , but it does not mean that we are direct affiliates .
The 2 companies are still separate entities .Though they will not
block Tenso's members from buying products on their site.

2<About Team Ayu membership >

We are depply sorry that you cannot register on the site.
This could be due to the fact that the shopping site experienced
trouble .

Due other members who are not resident in Japan . Some online
sellers say that they restrict their services or goods to Japan
residents.We do not know exactly why it’s only now that your
membership at Team Ayu was refused.

From our side , we cannot find out so we recommend you to write
an email and ask why . If you cannot write a mail in Japanese we
can translate it for you , so just send us your email in English
and we will translate it for you .

Also as other alternative, you can use professional shopping sites.
We introduced on our homepage a few professional shopping sites.
These sites can help customers who don't have Japanese credit cards.
and purchase the goods on their behalf.

If you have further questions, feel free to contact us again.

As you see they missunderstood me and thought I couldn't join TA... well ^^ Tenso seems that they want to cooperate and Ayu too ^^ Now let's wait ^^

Ah, for that site, CELGA, here you have the link to both sites:

http://www.celgajp.com/ - main site, here you can see what they offer.
http://celga.com/beta/index.php?page=welcome - here you can find the service and shippin fees

in this link they explain how to ask them to buy sth for you: http://celga.com/beta/index.php?page=shopfaq

http://celga.com/beta/index.php?page=genfaq - here explain the service fee and some examples ^^


shipping you can decide if EMS or cheaper ones..

here the EMS fees: http://celga.com/beta/docs/ems.htm


An example:

2 RnRC albums = around 7000Y
shippin mu-mo = 500Y
CELGA service = 10$ -912Y-(for a purches from 1000Y to 10,000Y)
Shipping = I'll say EMS but in the website they offer 2 more shipping methodes. You have to know the weight of the pacage, in this case 2 albums + 2 posters + 2 mobile stands was = 1160g that shipping to Europe costs: 3,700Y

Total: 12,112Y = 108€ / 133USD
Just the cost of the service + shipping to Europe and with that weight= 4612Y = 41€ / 51USD

So think that if you live in North America or ASIA it will be cheaper and also think that this was a huge package ^^ So depending of what you order you may not have to pay so much for the weight ^^

Maybe I'll use this website to purchase in TA this time, in case they can't fix the problem in time... ^^
