I have , I've been buying from HMV Japan for more than a decade
I personally prefer HMV Japan over CDJapan but for others , they might still prefer CDJapan due to :
- HMV Japan only accepts credit card for overseas orders unlike domestic orders in Japan where they accept a more wider variety of payment methods
- HMV Japan only offers EMS as its choice of overseas shipment orders
- HMV Japan also issues coupons but unlike CDJapan up to now I still don't know how HMV Japan derives at the amount reflected on the coupons o_O
The upside is that HMV Japan gives quite big discounts for limited versions of artistes' releases but those discounts in turn offset the EMS shipping cost which's now not as cheap as before

And unlike CDJapan , HMV Japan's shipping cost are only estimates so it might be lower or higher depending how heavy the items are
But you can select an option for HMV Japan to let you know if the shipping costs have any changes prior to them mailing out your parcels cos if you don't select it , HMV Japan will assume you're ok with the shipping adjustment changes & will mail them as so
