Not yesasia.

They didn't give me bonuses when I ordered an item they listed as in-stock when it wasn't. They didn't even bother to tell me it wasn't even in-stock.

And honestly, the only situation in which they are quick to reply is if you want to add an item to your order and give them more business. They really don't give a damn when they send you a defect or something that fails to meet the product description, because they don't even bother responding. Their packing isn't so impressive neither, they're infamous for crushing jewel cases/disc trays (the part that holds the CD/boxed packaging CDs. And they're slow as...

I don't order from them anymore unless I necessarily need to get an old item they happen to have, a particular overseas version HMV.com.hk don't have for cheaper or for manga. Because hmv.com.hk is cheaper for new C-pop, and cdjapan is more cheaper with more bonuses when you several CDs at a time. (more than 3)


At the moment, I would have to say CDJapan. Their shipping packaging is top notch. I ordered just one CD in a regular jewel case last time, and they sent it in a box stuffed with buffering paper, the box is even bigger than the one Yesasia sent me 6 CDs in. Not to mention they're fast, things usually arrive in around 4 days, as Airmail should.

Like ~ayu cake~'s mentioned, people say they're expensive, but honestly, Yesasia jack up their prices for all items, and for particular items, the inflation is ridiculous. I ordered a CD from CDjapan once, and it was cheaper with airmail shipping paid, than it was from Yesasia not even counting shipping charges. When you buy about 3 CDs or more from cdjapan, they're usually already cheaper than Yesasia, plus you get points to spend the next time you shop, added with top notch shipping service. I don't think much for Yesasia's free gashapon gimmick, considering they jacked up the prices for those at least 3 times what it's worth anyway.

HMV.com.hk (opened several months ago) doesn't have a wide selection of Japanese music on their site, but when they happen to have an OS Version while it's new, it's worth ordering from them because they list it faster than Yesasia and their shipping is dirt cheap and fast like cdjapan. The packing is about the same standard as Yesasia's though, though their prices are kinda inflated too, new items tend to be cheaper.

Haven't tried play-asia and HMV.co.jp, but would like to know what people think of them. I heard HMV.co.jp has crazy shipping prices.

Edit: Just got my 2nd order from cdjapan, they're officially so fast it scares me. I can't believe it arrived in only 3 days sent as regular Air mail. o_O"
