Not sure if it's right section but anyone know how to get ahold of this Sega hoodie that's only avalible at shimamura shop if your outside Japan?
Its funny some people in Japan actually think it looks ugly. What makes it so hard to get ahold of is its only avalible at this chain of clothing stores in Japan that sell "quality clothes" for cheap. It's kinda like their version of old navy. Think they sell this hoodie for like $30 US.
Around 35,77 euros... Not bad except Yahoo Auctions is like THE WORST. You gotta deal with all kinds of proxies, and pretend you are japanese cause they HATE foreign buyers. 9 out of 10 times they will straight up refuse to sell you anything.
Don't bother with BS proxies just use Buyee and be done with it, I got a vita, GT 2000(deal) and a sega lindbergh so I wouldn't say its that hard.
Don't really want go yahoo Japan route since so many headaches involved. I've heard of services that get you goods off yahoo but feel price will be too high after fees.
I've located it via the jauce.com export website: http://www.jauce.com/auction/l369717839 There is a specific topic on all the export sites. I've been using jauce.com for ages, everything is fine. Hope it's the right size
You can try and contact Tenso or Buyee. They do all communications and everything for you. Yes you'll have fees, no matter how you go about it though sadly. I doubt someone/somewhere would do it for nothing if they have to travel for it. Best advice I can give, if above isn't to your liking. Make a post in "local help" thread in the Japan section. Possibly someone can help you there for a slightly lower fee. At the end, even when I buy directly from stores in Japan, after the fees of foreign purchase fees from my bank, shipping I end up spending AUD$15 more to whatever I'm buying. Just recently bought a DVD and ended up around the AUD$50 mark -- holyshit! That's japanese exclusives for you lol.
I know if someone would pick it up for me there would be a fee no question. But I'm only paying shipping once in this matter. Other way would be paying for shipping twice. I know it's probably unrealistic but trying to go for between $50-60 total.
Local shipping isn't much. Like AUD$7 usually for me. Considering that, it's worth if you have no way of getting the item.
Totally agree with HEX1GON. The expensive part of such export process usually comes from the custom taxes you're paying for once the parcel arrives in your country. You can evaluate global cost through http://www.jauce.com/fee_check.php. Tenso/Buyee is also super safe: http://buyee.jp/item/search?query=shimamura sega BTW, I was not aware of this collection. The Saturn is actually pretty cool imho: http://www.jauce.com/search/shimamura+sega
Expecting to not have to pay two lots of shipping and various fees is incredibly unrealistic. If you want the hoodie, that's the price you'll have to pay.
