Amazon.co.jp is now offering international shipping for games and consoles
- Thread starter Nibel
- Start date
Oh shit. Is it just steam? Any links to digital PS4 gsmrs？
That's how I buy my manga, magazine, and guides.
It's flat rate as well, you pay like 900 yen per item (manga). They charge you 900 yen shipping if you buy 1 volume or for the entire series of let's say 12 volume.

Estimated delivery date is Sunday, 03/13 - Monday, 03/14. That can't be right, right?
it's express mail, not a mistake

Heck yes! The fact that I could buy books/CDs/Movies but needed a forwarding service to buy n3DS faceplates or Amiibo was ridonk.

Here's the download code section.
I imagine it will work for anything.

edit: nevermind, they don't seem to sell DL codes for PlayStation right now? Maybe just Nintendo hardware and PC.

It's absolutely right. Amazon international shipping is lightning fast.

Usually takes about a week for games to get to me when I import them. Seems normal.
I think when I've imported with FedEx before, they've had the game to me as fast as like 2 or 3 business days.

Amazon.co.jp is awesome. I had to return a defective product on there once and it went through no problem. I didn't even have to pay for shipping. Japanese retailers on the other hand can't compete for prices and are extremely difficult to deal with regarding returns. It's nice to see some competition giving them a wake up call.
My last amazon.co.jp purchase was Yakuza Ishin. I haven't gotten very far yet, but its a decent looking launch game and pretty fun to play. Translation site.
Edit: The only thing that's kind of tough is purchasing imports into Japan, as they're always more expensive and the markups are really high. All those sites losing business to amazon now might want to consider testing the waters in that area.

Finally!!! No need for Tenso anymore.
Hmmm, ordered something using my card and my address (not tenso), immediately got a call from fraud prevention services saying that a charge for 0$ to a catalog company was declined (Im assuming that's amazon). I said it was me.
Im wondering if this would cause issues for the order later on, if the authorization charge was initially declined.

This has awakened something dark inside of me.
Wait, I thought only games worked? I tried to buy Nendoroids sold by them but it says its not possible.
Books and CD's worked before this.
Amiibo's work as well (although not the pre-ordered ones)
Nah, it's just the OST. Artbook is something I'm waiting on in English.
They need to be directly sold by Amazon.jp. Even 'fulfilled by' won't work.
Pokémon Red & Green Soundtrack here I come! <3
Nendoroid doesn't seem to work.
oh well I'm an idiot then

Just like this new games feature, only certain figures are available for direct international shipping.

This is huge. Seriously.
You should get a notice from Amazon that your card was declined. Once you got it cleared from your company, you can retry your card again on the Orders page.
So gotta wait for the DLC, lol
Cool! Can you provide the link to the FE Fates OST as well as the Awakening OST?

How do you get it to display your local currency before checkout?
It's not converting to CAD for me

Yeah figures and hobby goods still don't ship global.
However the arcade sticks are really cheap.
some figures will ship but it depends just like with games.

tips: always tick this filter to easily know which one is global shippable when you search for something (although sometime the filter doesn't properly work, dunno why).... and actually certain figures can be shipped overseas
the only new stuff is the games... ost/artbook/etc. are old news, it's importable for years already

I wish the Xbox One Elite controller was cheaper than buying locally like it was on Amiami
Just said I ordere them to fraud prevention services, but nothing from Amazon. Order is still up so *shrug*

Importing some Yakuza games just got much more likely
As someone who has had a number of issues with Play Asia in the past, I do hope this forces them to improve their prices and business practices.
Just pre-order it on AmiAmi instead.

Too bad my debit/credit card (credit union) makes international sales a royal pain in the rear to do, as there's some stuff I'd probably take advantage of due to this. Had to call them up last time I bought from Amazon.co.jp to authorize my card when I bought an art book.)
Really need to pick up a credit card that doesn't have an issue with international purchases ones of these days.
But nice to see them doing this, should get some decent sales out of it.
