DAMN..I thought I would keep this little secret all to myself. :D I heard about this stie a while back and ordered. let me tell you, they have some of THE BEST prices. The stuff came in SUPERB condition and SUPER QUICK.

I was going to order again, but when I was about to, the game was gone. I was in deep shock. I've been combing their site ever since.

They are AWESOME, don't be afraid, buy from them now!!

I was about to finish an order a few seconds ago when I saw the shipping fee...

WOW DUDES!!!
Since when shipping 300 g to North America DOES COST $23 EMS????? O_O
SINCE WHEN DO 3 CD Games weight 600 g?????

That weight (3 games) usually do for $15... MAYBE up to $18, but $23 ???? @_@

AND a 4% PAYPAL fee????? :/

Helooooooooooooooooooo, is anybody listening??? :/

The usual EMS fee is $15. I have received and paid HUNDREDS of shipments from Japan and I can certanly say I do know the shipping fees for EMS...

So when I say it expensive, IT IS. Take may word for it :hmm:

Hello, Tamachan! Welcome to the Retrogaming Roundtable.

I like your nickname! My girlfriend is from Saitama City and she told me all about the story of Tamachan the seal who appeared there one day and how everyone went crazy over him, and how there was a bunch of Tamachan merchandise for sale for a while and that the government even offered him "asylum" and made him a "citizen"! Is Tamachan still around, and do people still sell Tamachan memorabilia?

By the way, your site looks awesome and I hope to order a bunch of things soon! Great job!

My bad. I (incorrectly) assumed you had no prior knowledge of ems. Guess I'm in the wrong. Sorry. :D

But I STILL want so MANY MANY MANY thingies... x_x x_x

ANY CHANCE to reconsider the Shipping fee? $15 might do it and still have a profit (even more when adding the 4% Paypal fee) and still not ripping off people.

You'll see. My point is that for shipping 3 CD Games with a value of $185, I was thinking about a grand total of $200 via EMS. 3 CDs weight 300 g wrapped and covered and everything. Then I was surprised when I saw a shipping fee of $23.50 EMS, a package weight of 600 g, then 4% Paypal... I would end up paying $235!!! @_@

And I am sorry, sph1nx, for my bad temper. My appologies :D

Official EMS shipping fees : pelase viez the following page
http://www.post.japanpost.jp/english/fee/intel/ems.html

Japangamestock shipping page
http://www.japangamestock.com/import/videosgames.html

Our shipping page is taking exactly the rate the postal service is offering here in Japan
Now a CD game can be 100grms but if it's double case it can be 250grms

we need to pay people to pack the game securely into a package, this is not free unfortunately

We do provide an Airmaill service which is cheaper than EMS (doesn't have the same service tho) so if you think EMS shipping is too expensive you can choose this service but in case of lost/stolen, nothing can be done unfortunately

Paypal 4% is what paypal charge us for recieiving money, we put the lowest price possible so we can't afford to loose money to paypal, that's why it is like that

For your information on an average order (50USD - 4% represent only 2USD)

on a big order i understand it's more, so if you have a big order to make please contact us by email we will state the lowest price we can do or give you a discount coupon for your next order

now this shipping fees are online so our system is automatic..people come order, pay, we ship, that's fast and efficient, if we have to make a quote by email,etc..this wil slow down the process (it will take more time for you to receive the goods because we will spend more times quoting orders and replying to people,etc...)

If you have a big order to make (several games : more than 150USD) you can contact us so we can calculate the exact weight of the package so you will pay the exact price for shipping...this can only be done for order over 150USD under that please use the website

so for example the website calculate 600grs for 3cd games that should be 1680Yen If after packing, to make sure cd won't be damage we protect them, this protection have a weight including the box used to ship that
let's say real weight is 490g (just under the 500grms limit) so shipping will save 180Yen (that's about 2 bucks)

but by the time you email your order, it's processed manually and that we send you the total weigth and correct prices, a few days will have gone, so it's won't be so fats and efficient

thanks for reading

if you want to save few bucks ok we are open to anything, your order will take more time to be processed so by the end you won't earn that much because the time lost in emailling could have been spent in the plane for an Airmail package that is cheaper but we do what customer want

Tamachan-san

No offesnse intended. It is just that have received several items from Japan via EMS. Perhaps the fees changed lately?

I am looking to save those extra bucks for the EMS shipping and do business with you.

I ran across your site in my searches a long time agao, but I'm curious, are your retro games new or used? None of them say specifically, as I assume that they're all used. Which severely limits what I would be interested in. I almost never buy anything used, and have very little interest in used games.

I received my two SFC games in the mail yesterday, and I'm extremely happy. They're in beautiful condition! Don't hesitate to buy from this site! I know I won't! :D

I am being charged for more, but I just dioscovered WHY. A simple error of EMS Zones.
