Ordered a copy of Gundam Extreme VS Force on tuesday night and it showed up today! Game is fun and price was too good to be true. I worry for my wallet as I have a list of vita games to import now!

 

[Prophane33]

I just order the newest maximum the hormone CD yesterday I think and it will already be here Monday via DHL..... That's really fucking fast shipping going across the world.


But you really do pay for it lol I think shipping was like $11

I wish prime US carried over to international

Their shipping is cheaper than it used to be, had a single dvd cost me around 18 dollars shipping back in 03.

 

[Prophane33]

can I order yakuza Kiwami doing this??

Tried searching for t last night but could t find it

Yup (you can click "In English" at the top for English if you need it).

Edit: Apologies for two posts in a row!

Yes but it comes out to about the same from other import sites.... They just add the price in. But I sure as hell know it wouldn't even be close to as fast shipping

how do i switch the currency?

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Anyone from the UK tried this?

 

[Prophane33]

how do i switch the currency?

At checkout it should show the price in your local currency. Otherwise, I use xe.com or even googling "X Yen in Dollars" works.

 

[LiK]

Curious on the shipping price to the US for games. Has anyone taken advantage of this yet?

$7.66 USD for one PS4 game for me.

You should not select to pay in your currency unless you want Amazon to charge you for the conversion. It appears they're using a 4% conversion fee compared to xe rates.

How the hell do you even compete with that?

Jesus fucking christ. I wonder if this would be similar sort of time to deliver to the UK? I'm giving this a go.

You found a ps2 game sold by amazon?

 

[TheWorst]

some dude from dhl sent me a text this morning asking for my authorization to leave the package without a signature...impressive service.

Did you add your phone number to your account? This would be useful to me.

Really wishing I could cancel my AmiAmi pre-order for Project Diva X now @_@

 

[bestpersonevar]

Yes. Amazon asked for my phone number when I updated my address.

I like Dragon Quest Builders a lot so far. Using this guide.

No retro games.

Yep. I was expecting to get charged for more at the door like FedEx does, but they just gave me my game and left. Very fast.

 

[hashiriya1]

RIP import sites (except for the ones that offer the Asia ones with EN subtitles).

Except for the sites that specialize in retro games.

What game is that? I can't find any ps games sold by Amazon

thanks brehs

so would they let me pay with my card without changing the currency?

 

[Sölf]

Now the one thing amazon is missing would be to accept PayPal. I have no credit card and no desire to get one because Germany is no credit card country.

 

[Sakura]

thanks brehs

Yea, your credit card company will just do the conversion.

 

[Danchi]

Chaos Field. It's a 2D shooter developed by Milestone.

 

[Jotamide]

Chaos Field. It's a 2D shooter.

The only ever remotely decent thing to come from Milestone. I bought their X360 collection and all the games suffer from some sort of issue.

 

[MHWilliams]

I ordered Kamen Rider: Battride War Genesis on the 9th. It got here today. Shipping was $7. Jesus.

 

[Aselith]

Just in time to reap the sales reward from the massive release of DOAX 3

 

[Trigonometrize.]

I'm assuming US Amazon gift cards don't work with foreign Amazon?

 

[MHWilliams]

No clue. Never tried it.

 

[h0mebas3]

For this stuff:

"Shipping & Handling: USD 7.46"

Wow, thanks. Ok, Amazon here I come.

 

[Prophane33]

Correct, afaik gift cards do not work between any Amazon site.

 

[Aselith]

Puyo Puyo Tetris Vita is only $23 on there also. Buy it!

 

[TheWorst]

The Splatoon artbook and two faceplates that I was actually able to order (including the felt ones!) are scheduled to arrive on my birthday. Woo!

 

[LQX]

Any other cheap Vita game recommendations that are easy to understand or in English?

Hatsune Miku: Project Diva f, remember to get the best version, because it's not like the cover is really bad on that one, only slightly different.

Which faceplates you get specifically?

 

[TheWorst]

Xenoblade and the felt ones.

 

[LiK]

Xenoblade and the felt ones.

I can't find the felt one in search

 

[srst]

IA/VT. This is a re-release in "Best of" edition.
http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B01B7KCVRQ/

It's slightly cheaper on AmiAmi, but orders are closed.

Here. Look at the "Other Sellers" section on the right and you can buy directly from Amazon. Price seems to have increased a tiny bit from when I got them yesterday.

Awesome, thanks! Picked it up with Attack on Titan game. Only $8.95 shipping.

 

[Dragonslayer_023]

Nothing will ship to me in Canada. I even clicked the global shipping box on search and tried some things other people say they've bought.

 

[Jigolo]

What about manga and other stuff? Or only video games

Amazon always shipped books, music and movies internationally.

Are you sure the games are being sold by Amazon? I'm in Canada and ordered a game just fine.

That's a bummer.
I had Puyo Puyo Tetris for the Vita ship out and arrive in just a hair over 48 hours.
Had another non-video game shipment arrive in approximately the same amount of time last week.
Granted, this is southwestern Ontario. Not sure if other parts of Canada would be as fortunate.

Well, shit.

So I can buy this PS2 and get it shipped to FL for somewhere around 9000 yen

Likely not, as it's not being sold directly by Amazon.

 

[Sakura]

Likely not, as it's not being sold directly by Amazon.

And it says it is 68,350 yen anyway >.>

This is great news.
Fuck western distributors. Time to get me some good JP things.
