Anime-Export (Japan) feedback

[UltraMarginal]

My tracking number seems to work in the Auspost tracking. At moment my MP-22 is at a distribution center in QLD hopefully arriving Monday fingers crossed.

Hey UM, Japan Post Tracking website is showing my parcel located in Melbourne (VIC).

I will have to make sure I have a better crack at looking it up next time, I suppose it usually turns up so fast after leaving japan that I don't spend a lot of time worrying about it.

Just preordered g2bb, PayPal conversion rates are a rip off!

That is a grand understatement
I always get them to charge me at the currency I'm buying from so my card or bank does the conversion, it's always a better rate then. It's not always easy to spot but when you're in Paypal completing the transaction you should be able to specify the currency as options allowed by the seller as opposed to AU$

Good tip! I'll keep that in mind in the future!

Ah well, the difference between PayPal (93) and my 28 degrees card (approx 97) on bb was not huge, so I was happy to take the hit. Won't in the future though.

Isn't 28 Degrees fee-free? If so, use that instead of PayPal.

Yeah it is, but this was my first A-E purchase and I've heard so so things about them (not about client info, but like customer service and what not). Post cc fraud incident, I'm sceptical about every new place now..

When you are in PayPal I thought the default is showing yen and then a convert to Aust . Didn't think it make any difference.

that's 4c for every dollar, which is a better saving than 4c a litre. and if you add that up over a few orders including shipping it's more than enough to cover the cost of an extra toy or two.

I have my card registered with paypal, that way it's still a secured transaction through paypal, and my card but making the charge in Yen or whatever the companies currency is saves the difference in paypals exchange rate which is never as good as a banks.

Argh! One of the MP Magnus has the tape seal broken. And it was case fresh as well.

These were pre-ordered for members.

Mine was as well and I think some have minor dents.
