LOL congrats! I also pre-ordered the Blu-ray limited boxset from Amazon

Kinda curious, how do you decide which online shop to pre-order from? Amazon, HMV or CDJapan?

I ordered only from YesAsia for the longest, because I didn't know any better. Their prices are extortion, they will rape you. Although if you can get free shipping, it MAY work itself it, but I'd do the calculations.

Then I found out about CDJ and started ordering from them, because at the time I couldn't really read japanese and their site was quite easy to navigate. They offer all new releases at list price though, which can still be high, but it's less than YA for sure, but shipping on top of that can be a *****.

Take the 1998-2011 Limited Edition Blu Ray Clip Box for example.

Yesasia: $300ish + free shipping = about $300 total

CDJ: 23000 yen + 2260 shipping = 25260 yen = about $331

Amazon: They discounted the list price and charged me 16865 yen (HUMONGOUS discount!) plus 2000 yen shipping = about $248 total.

See the difference?

So I guess... if you're getting a lot of heavy items, or just a lot of items in general, YesAsia's free shipping might help. With CDJ, you pay a fair, standard price, and since they've offered FedEx shipping, I've gotten my stuff on release date! (Which is technically the date before release in Japan haha). And from now on, I'll be using Amazon if they discount the list price like they did with the clip box...I was floored at how much money I saved

I always wonder way people think YesAsia is more expensive, I checked CD Japan and YesAsia. The price for the Limited Box with 5DVD's is at CDJapan 222,14$ and at YesAsia 215,75$. And I always check prices and YesAsia is always cheaper. Furthermore YesAsia has free shipping and for people in Germany YesAsia always ships their products first to Belgium and then to Germany. And because my CD's come from Belgium to Germany and both are in the EU I have to pay no taxes.

I don't get it. xD So often I read people talking about the high prices at YesAsia, but everytime I check they are cheaper!!!!!! Or have they different prices for EU and US?

I'm really confused... xD

You don't pay taxes? Why? I come from germany too and buy my cd's at yesasia everytime. But somestimes, i must pay taxes :/ And now, i really wonder why...

Haha I have the same experience as you with YesAsia. For me they have always been cheaper. And free shipping isn't really hard to get. You have to by at least a CD+DVD to get free shipping. In the end YesAsia have always been waaay cheaper for me. I never pay taxes either. They always mark my package as a "gift" the the swedish customs don't bother that one.

Yeah me too. I got my A CLIP BOX Blu-ray edition from Amazon and it is indeed 16865 yen, much cheaper than the list price of 24000 yen. But this time, they don't have a discount for the Party Queen boxset. I've still pre-ordered (I am addicted to Ayu's stuff) and the price is 18900 yen. I wonder why they no longer give discounts...

Well since I'm from Sweden I'm in EU just like you.

[Chibi-Chan]

^that's why I was thinking that they have different prices for EU and US.^^ 'Cos for both of us yesasia is always cheaper and for Pieces of SEVEN they are always more expensive.
