To save constantly pestering Yakumo all the time for Amazon orders i decided to try one of these middleman forwarding services Tenso seems like a decent one & the fees are not too astronomical. Has anyone tried them before?
Bit of a pain to set up as you need to provide documents to prove who you are before you can get things shipped to you but now i have sorted that out & set up an account, i now have a Japanese postal address i can use to send stuff to from various Japanese shops. Amazon Japan is a goldmine of new cheap import games which i was locked out of due to them not shipping outside Japan i also now have access to the markeplace sellers too YAY. Done a test order fom Amazon & it went through ok now just waiting to see how much the shipping will be. Only time it gets expensive is if you have lots of separate parcels as they will charge postage on each one although you can consolodateh them all for a fee.
I have a feeling my import collection is going to explode, new DS games for only a couple of thousand yen on ebay i'd be paying 3 times that for new copies.
