Change in price for You were... / BALLAD on YA?

[RadnasticReggie]

I've pre-ordered them, but the price was 23$, it's now 32$, in CAD.
Why did this happen?
Talking about the CD/DVD versions?
Anyone else notice this?

[nanakopy87]

yes.yesasia changed the price because previously,their first press item is only the jacket card.but now,they are giving out posters too and they raise the price also =.="

10$ for a poster? they're crazier and crazier.
No crisis in YesAsia i see.

This is why I don't like YesAsia when they price their things. They increased the price because of a poster that's supposed to be free? At least CDjapan actually sticks to the actual price as it would be sold in Japan, 1000 yen / 1800 yen.

i agree with you those poster are supposed to be free . that's a big increase of the price is quite ridiculous .
anyway yesasia always charge for poster , i dont know if you notice but all the posters they sells on the website taiwanese or chinese are the free posters that they get for the cd , they simply separate them and make more money that way .......

lacus ------> than yesasia is not honnest if ts" free" shiping but they extra charge to cover the shipping cost its not call "free" anymore...
this is not a good costumer service.

[nanakopy87]

i wonder why they do so.i almost wanna cancel my cdjapan order and use yesasia service because of the poster.luckily i found out that the price is expensive than cdjapan.i think the item + shipping fee at cdjapan is much more cheaper than yesasia

to earn more $ mah Pei Yee

I personally have seen ayaka's History 2006 - 2009 ; 2 CDs with photobook , the price jacked up all the way from US$35+ to US$49.99 on YesAsia

still , it went outta print sooner or later

^^ yeah but the YA increase in price is nothing compared to the shipping costs of CDJapan

This is what I have always thought, until last night.
I ordered two CDs and a DVD yesterday. Just for the heck of it, I decided to directly compare CDJapan and Yesasia, since even though I was very hesitant to risk buying from Yesasia (since I've had problems from them before, and because so many people have problems receiving damaged goods), I'm not exactly rich right now and don't want to pay for the extra shipping at CDJapan. 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.)

yeah, i remember there was a long time before when i order an ayu cd very early and when the news came out that a poster is added, they jack up the price to cover for their free shipping.

but since i order super early, i got the cheaper price.

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

[KarenPang]

yeah I wouldn't deny that YesAsia's good if you do bulk orders in escaping paying shipping fee as compared to CDJapan

it boils down to the individual at the end of the day & now that both sites's sales are counted towards Oricon , it's even better

[Ayumi_lover]

^ Yesasia shipping is much more expansive if you're going to use EMS, if you're using regular mail it's pretty cheap on cdjapan too

[nanakopy87]

i'm not sure bout other country,but this is the price include shipping fee to my country,malaysia :

Yesasia : US$31.95 (CD VERSION )
CDJapan : USD14.9867 (CD VERSION)


so far,the differences is quite obvious.one is giving so-called free poster and another so far does not announce bout this.
the shipping option i choose is normal airmail

all i know is that whenever i buy a single from CDJapan and pick the cheapest/slowest shipping, it still costs about $30 total, for a CD only single. add in another single and that's another $30 (they won't even combine shipping). $60 for two cd only singles sucks.

[~angel*ayumi~]

When you pre-order at YA you always have to order as soon as possible, because when you order before they add the poster you will get the normal price + poster, not the raised price.

bo pian Pei Yee

that's why I never really had any good experiences when comes to YesAsia

it's business at the end of the day

[nanakopy87]

hmm,i guess i better use UHU gum to stick myself with cdjapan
use yesasia when make bulk order with friends or order lots of things

[JackieRos]

so wait cd japan is still the same price even with the poster?
cos if it is im going straight to cd japan
