    Yah it's about 22% plus the fee levied by the courier. The fee is normally about £15 though from memory.

    You can dodge the fees by using a reshipper like Tenso. [MENTION=39]importaku[/MENTION] uses them I believe.

      Suppose just gotta hope my package goes unnoticed but that is probably very unlikely nowadays.

      Thanks for the info, will have to read up on these reshipper's.

        Not sure if hit-japan automatically marks a lower value, but I’ve never paid import fees for packages from them or any other Japanese seller, but then again I always message them after paying

          I've actually just checked a photo of the customs form on Devil Crash and the seller had marked the items value up as £10

          Yeah i always used to email sellers direct and ask if they could mark as a gift and lower the value and never had a problem. The issue just now is that with this GDPR we cannot get the sellers direct email address and all messages go through eBay now, was wary of getting flagged ? Maybes i am getting old and worrying about it to much now lol..

          Saying that i had not long sent item of to the US and had to complete a customs form but lowered the value for the guy, just hope they do the same.

            Buying a region-specific voucher from Play-Asia takes about 47 seconds.
            Kept you waiting, huh?

              And then setting up another profile etc, and try to understand the menus... Bit more to it than just buying psn credit.

                It’s super easy to use the JPN menu as it’s the old-style store front. I’d be happy to help you out in that regard. You just basically have to press O or X a lot of times once you’ve chosen your title. Once bought, you can play under your U.K. account anyway. It’s much easier than you may think.

                  Maybe we could have a guide on the forum?

                    Sounds like a plan.

                      Get the Google Translate app for your phone and it will translate through the camera in realtime. It's not perfect, but it does well enough to figure out what's going on. It's also useful for options menus in games (sadly, it won't work with pixel fonts, so is only helpful on more modern consoles)

                        Aye, it’s terrible for the 3DS

                          I've just had Cave Story + turn up on the Switch. Unsure why Nicalis never bothered to release it over here.

                            I imagine because there is just a big enough audience with the expanse of America. Seems to be the case with a lot of titles really.

                              Two new'uns. Octopath on the train would be nice but tbh in this heat I doubt I'll be able to concentrate on it!

                                Woo Taiko no Tatsujin! Do let us know your impressions of the motion controls - reviews have been very mixed online so far. Would be keen to know because I'm on the fence of getting it myself.
