Ayu charity shirt help

Jennie Mae · #1 17th March 2011, 07:54 AM

Soooo. I would like to have a charity shirt for the earthquake/tsunami, but a) I only have enough to spend on the shirt and not a Tenso account as well, and b) I don't want to buy one on eBay because that defeats the purpose.
Soooo, would anyone be willing to buy me a shirt, and I can pay you back? I have Paypal, and any other kind of payment is fine by me. I just can't afford to open a Tenso account right now.
Would anyone be willing to help me?

i want to buy the shirt too, but i am not willing to pay for the shipping since it is obviously not going to the proceeds...

I'm in the same position. I would love to purchase the shirt and can pay for the shipping costs as well, as long as it's within the US, but I cannot afford a Tenso account and the shipping it will cost to send it from Japan. I hope someone can help us out~

I sent Jennie Mae a PM earlier, but since you're both in California, it might be more economical for you two to go in on a tenso account together instead? Otherwise, there has to be someone on the west coast with a Tenso account.

^Too bad I am currently not in California. Otherwise I'd definitely join you guys!

i want to purchase as well! and i don't have a tenso account :[ i would rather donate the shipping fee to charity instead

I'm in Washington state with a Tenso account. I will be pre-ordering shirts this weekend or Monday for my family and coworkers. I'll be able to help any in California for $25 by paypal, that should cover the full order getting here and a priority mail box to California. If it doesnt I'll cover the extra.

If someone is willing to split the shipping costs, I would be more than happy to. At this point we just need to find someone in California who has a tenso account/mu-mo account and is willing to help us with this situation.
I'm still kind of hoping YA picks up a shipment of the shirts.

^ No, YA will not get the shirts...sadly.
angel ayu asked them on "Twitter" and they said no!

I'm glad that we are doing a collective order in the German Ayu-forum. Otherwise I would also have no chance buying the shirt!!

ps.
1) tenso account is free.
2) mumo still charge u domestic fee of ¥500
3) if u dont wana pay for ur shipping how are you going to get ur shirt? unless u live in japan, but u still have to pay ¥500 for mumo delivery fee.
4) if u truely wana donte ¥1500 n nothing xtra, I suggest u try donating directly to red cross.
5) if u truely want the shirt n donate, I suggest u increase ur budget, I dont think anyone will wana pay for ur shipping.

RikkuChii · #11 18th March 2011, 01:25 AM

Well..I live in Cali, I have a tenso account & I wanna buy the shirt. Tenso accounts are free, by the way.

@kinix~ We weren't talking about someone paying for our shipping, we were trying to see if we could get people together to split the shipping costs so in the end it could be a bit cheaper for everyone.
But its fine now because I'm just going to make an account and order one myself tomorrow or Saturday.

Pieces_of_SEVEN · #13 18th March 2011, 01:48 AM

I'm in the same boat lol

i believe kinix's post is for the people who thinks its ridiculous to pay almost same price shipping and handling fee with the tee price.
i agree that if you think the fee is ridiculous,you can donate it directly to world vision,red cross or any other charity.

as for me,i bought this tee because i can do donate some money and at the same time,i have a tee to wear.isn't it good?

HilaryDuffFanboy · #15 18th March 2011, 03:34 AM

why complain about shipping when the shirt is so cheap already. Tour t shirts are usually triple the price! it's not the first time you'd have to pay for shopping for ayu items

ownsarai · #16 18th March 2011, 04:00 AM

^Because not everyone can afford it...some people do have a limited amount of money they can spend.

Jennie Mae · #17 18th March 2011, 10:13 AM

Since Tenso is free (the big red 1380 yen on the mu-mo page is just for shipping, I get it now) I signed up. The problem is, my computer can't read Japanese characters so there is no way for me to use my Tenso address when buying the shirt.
And now I've just got a bank alert that they've shut off my debit card due to irregular activity XD
So now what should I do?

C+R+E+AYUMI · #18 18th March 2011, 10:22 AM

it's complicated that i've given up. i'll donate through Save the Children the same amount
