[Web Shop] Amazon.co.jp - Amazon Japan (Page 1 of 29) MyFigureCollection.net

July 26, 2024

I ordered all 10 volumes of the reprint of the Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou manga () from amazon.co.jp. Since they ship books worldwide, I didn't need to use any proxy.

The pricing was fair and the availability good. The ordering process was smooth and most was available in English.

It appears they use DHL exclusively for these shipments. The shipping turned out to be ¥20 more than the books themselves (items: ¥6,380, shipping: ¥6,400). I would have preferred if they had used another carrier because DHL apparently always tries to deliver these shipments directly to the recipient instead of leaving them somewhere more convenient to be picked up by the recipient. The shipping from Japan was very fast but the whole procedure was delayed because they kept trying to deliver the package when I wasn't home. While this detracted from my amazon.co.jp experience, it's not really the fault of amazon. Now knowing this, I might use a proxy if I ever buy anything from amazon.co.jp again.

The items were shipped in a not-so-ordinary box. The box was completely glued together. There was a strip that needed to be ripped off in order to open the box. The items themselves were shrink-wrapped to a piece of cardboard the same size as the bottom of the box, much like what HLJ often does. This way of packaging, at least manga, was sufficient and my items arrived without any dents or scratches.

I'll give them a rating of 4.5/5. I would have given them 5/5 if they had used a more convenient carrier.
