their NO TRACKING ONLINE means you can't direct check the status from their page.XD
you have to go to japan post site yourself and find it XD
funny to see they write no tracking is available

If Customs has it then it has to show up in your tracking status, because they have to scan the codes.

Amazon.co.jp finally shipped my box. It's still somewhere in Japan, but at least it's on the way. The strange thing though, it says it's being delivered to my house. I wonder why it just doesn't say "Customs Office, XXXX" or whatever...xD
A 7 kg box SHOULD go to customs. Loool
But on a positive note, my CD only version from CDJ came today. Damn that poster is HUUUGE.

i really hope that i'll get it maybe friday or saturday, but with the box being big and heavy i'm afraid customs is gonna ruin my plans and keep the box and i'll have to pay extra for it.

They kept my NL USB for 18 day .. seriously 18 whole days and when it got here i had to pay €36 extra. ( €36 = araound 49 / 50 dollars) seriously i don't even want to know how much extra i'll have to pay for the box when they decide to keep it :S stupid Customs
Typically, things shipped with EMS and cost more than about 50 euros end up getting held up by customs. It's one of the reasons I stopped using EMS; far too expensive, and far too much trouble at times. This is because I'd have to go pick it up myself from the customs office and there's always a really really long line.To have it brought to me by the customs post man, it costs an extra 15 euros, added to, of course, the customs fee.

As for the price you usually pay with customs, with most european countries its 15% to 18%.

My orders usually get shipped from customs to the postal service and i have to pay al the extra fee's when it gets deliverd at my door, thank god i don't have to pay extra for the postal service.
Al the extra money is the big downside to using EMS, but the box has to be shipped with EMS through CDjapan.
Usually i get my orders pretty fast, withing 2 days instead of 3-6.
But seriously the 18 days at customs for my USB was just ridiculous

@AngelSenshi We dont pick up anything requiring customs charges from a customs office. Just pick it up at the post office and pay there if they don't bring it up to my door. However, ever since I moved into Mississauga last year, I find the mailman doesn't even buzz or ring my apartment at all if its a parcel in a box. He just leaves a slip and I keep having to go downstairs at some point late in the day to check to see if there's something downstairs I gotta go pick up. If my parcel comes as bubble envelope, it's just brought up with the regular letter mail and the guy knocks on my door and hands it to me. I hate having to go down to our post office though, cause I have to take 2 buses to get down there.

I know what you both mean; it's really rather troublesome at times.

And I know what you mean about them just leaving a paper. Our mailman for when I'm at mom's doesn't give us our packages because he doesn't know which doorbell to ring even though there's the damn name on it. There are two side by side, with the names alternating in a way; even if he didn't know he could at least ring and ask. Instead he just leaves a paper in the mailbox and makes me go to the post office.

18 days at customs for your USB was just horrible; sounds like terrible service.

ah HA! i think they made a lost earlier, as buyers have order the box set before they realise it's very heavy, as the shipping fee was unexpected.

see my order below:



i bought the box set and used express mail, and my total amount is USD$176.36, the shipping fee was USD$32.89.


but now, they change the price to USD$179, with their FREE shipping. ho ho ho...so for those who want to get this via express mail will end up paying more, with the express fee of USD$48.81, it will add up to USD$228.80!!!!

very nice...this is more expensive then CDJ's EMS

Just asking, but my order says "Ready to be shipped" so can i still request a change in my shipping option? I'm not paying for the special limited boxset anyways. My mom's getting it for me as an early birthday gift.

I'm hoping i dont get customs with mine when mine gets here. The one thing I wish they'd do is that when the item crosses the border when u check the tracking info, i wish they'd tell you whether or not you got a charge ahead of time and if you did get one, how much it is. I've had money ready before the parcel gets here only to have the parcel delivered and i don't have quite enough on me.

Btw, one other question to those who have gone overseas, but for example, if I go overseas and buy a bunch of stuff. Like lets say i go shopping and buy a bunch of CDs, clothes etc, do i have to pay taxes for when i bring them back home to my own country?

In my two trips to Japan I have never had to pay taxes for bringing stuff home. I've bought Ayu dvds, cds, magazines, and even that big vivi diary book thing.

wel if it says that it's at customs you can automaticaly assume you'll have to pay extra when it arrives, i don't think it's possible to put the price in the tracking info, as that is not the purpose of the track and trace.
It's not very handy i know, but i always try to have a decent amount of money on hand just to be sure.
You could try to call your customs office and inform about the status of your package.
