A Question About Secret on Yesasia

I'm not really sure if this topic fits here but since it's close I'm just gonna roll with it.
I was just wondering, today I was looking at the album and pre-ordered it. In my shipment it said 4 units. Why is That? I could understand if it said 3 units because of the cd, the dvd, and the poster, but it says 4. I checked on (miss) understood dvd+cd (Korean and Japan Versions) and it said 2. Does anyone know why it says 4?

My guess would be what they're sending everything in. Since you're getting Secret early, you'll be getting a poster, and they might be sending the poster in something different from the package for the CD. If I remember correctly, YesAsia sends posters out a couple days early, just before the CD release. That may be why it's 4 units instead of 3 or 2.

A CD+DVD is 2 shipping units, and a poster is 2 shipping units.

xilirationisfun said it. Units doesn't equal the amount of items, instead one item represents a certain amount of units.

so what is a unit exactly?

The only information that YesAsia gives on that subject is,

Quote:

* What is a 'shipment unit'?
The shipping and handling fee we charge for each item depends on its weight, dimension and the complexity of packaging and processing it requires. For simplicity, we assign a 'shipment unit' to each item. For example, one standard CD or VCD usually counts for one shipment unit whereas a bulkier box set, toys, or posters may count for more units. The shipment unit for each item is displayed on its product page, where you can also find other product details and descriptions.

There isn't any definition for a YesAsia unit, they put what's appropriate.
