Buying video games and other items from Amazon.jp from US

Post by xbl0x180 »

I was wondering how one could go about buying from Amazon.jp and their respective sellers from the U.S., esp. those items that they will not ship outside of Japan.

Thanks in advance 8)

sorry if I sound like a spammer, because I've posted this in a couple threads recently, but I would suggest

http://www.dv8cag.com

Used it a few times in the past, stellar service, excellent communication, etc. 400 yen per game!

Hm. This sounds like what I'm looking for. Thank you.

So you send him an item request, he gives you a price, you pay him, and he buys? Do you remember how much he charged for shipping a game?

I think the only downside to getting items this way is that the buyer incurs the entire cost of shipping losses or damaged/defective items. Also, one'd have to pay more to get at least a tracking number. However, the plus side is a huge selection and potentially way cheaper prices. Seriously, I just saw Radirgy for the 360 being sold for 2,900 and I paid about 74 bucks for it! Hahah... OW OW OUCH.

I could do it as well. Let me know what you're after, and we'll see if we can work something out.

http://japantodoor.com has worked well for me as a parcel forwarding service. Buy on Amazon, ship to them, they ship to you. Reasonable rates. Used them a few times to buy from the Cave Shop.
