Although AmiAmi has a bigger discount on...Hi Anon,<br /><br />Although AmiAmi has a bigger discount on the preorder, you might want to take into consideration the two sites' points systems as well. CDJapan gives better points for your item than AmiAmi (240 points vs. 74 points), which can really help out your next purchase if you order from them frequently. The base price difference between the two sites is 660 yen (8000 for CDJapan vs 7340 for AmiAmi). If you take into account the points you would earn, the price difference hypothetically narrows down to about 494 yen (7760 yen for CDJapan - 7266 yen for AmiAmi).<br /><br />As for shipping, I use EMS much, much more than FexEx, and I have never had an issue with them. The two are comparable in terms of speed and safety, though I hear FedEx is much more likely to get hit by customs, so prepare for potentially higher shipping costs if you choose them. On the other hand, AmiAmi loves their huge boxes, so you may be potentially be charged for a lot of padding. Both have their ups and downs.<br /><br />I would personally go with AmiAmi and EMS, but only because I have more experience with them. I have contacted AmiAmi about high shipping costs before and they have always at least TRIED to cut down some costs for me. In terms of customer service, I've had a much better time with AmiAmi than CDJapan in the past, so I am more willing to order from their site. I know it's not a definitive answer, but go with whoever you trust more, as they seem comparable in terms of cost and risk.<br /><br />Happy ordering,<br />JennJenn and Sui Cheehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248172631727355187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626469176896276725.post-61169698763163971292016-01-24T00:03:05.959-05:002016-01-24T00:03:05.959-05:00Hey!

I need major advice here if you don't mind>< I'm planning to order this DVD [link if you need it : http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/TDV-26058D ] and I'm unsure whether to order it from CDJapan or AmiAmi. They both have it but it's a preorder. I'm conflicted because CDJapan has FedEx shipping which I usually use and they gave an estimate shipping price of 1600+yen [which will probably increase because they said the weight is only 360+ which definitely is inaccurate] and it costs around $115SGD. AmiAmi has it too but they have discounted preorder price by nearly a 1000yen and I'm not sure about the shipping cost>< I usually go with EMS for AmiAmi and FedEx for CDJapan.<br /><br />For me, shipping costs don't really bother me unless they go above $30 but I'm more concerned on how the goods will come to me, based on what shipping type. Also concerned about the overall price, of course! I'm just really conflicted because CDJapan has FedEx but AmiAmi has discounted preorder price but their shipping is EMS >< Do advise me if possible, thanks!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626469176896276725.post-60801282157532160512016-01-18T01:22:36.721-05:002016-01-18T01:22:36.721-05:00Congratulation on receiving a replacement, ever si...Congratulation on receiving a replacement, ever since I switch from figure to dolls, I have not bought from amiami much nowadays; but it is nice to hear that they are improving their customer service. I also had a incident happened before whereas the figure they sent me was upside down inside the box(blister was in a reverse direction. Which was very weird, they didn't compensate for it as they mention that the box is only for transportable, but I couldn't justify the cause to assume that it was open before and put back for a certain reason. <br /><br />But anyways thanks for the laugh at the end.

I'm ...It's best if you check with the bank. I'm not sure if it applies to debit cards, but sometimes when I'm using my credit card to make purchases there can be a "verified" transaction which sort of takes money from your account and returns it a few days later. If they actually took the money and didn't dispatch the item then you should look into it.<br /><br />If Nin-Nin-Game is saying "as soon as possible", I'm going to guess the item is back-ordered on their end, but I could be wrong...though frankly "as soon as possible" isn't a solid answer. They shouldn't be taking money from you when they're not releasing the item. I recommend people use Paypal when ordering from Nin-Nin-Game because at least they can start a dispute if the company does something fishy. I don't know what the bank can do for you but if that's an option, I recommend you ask them about it first. I really do hope it works out for you! I would still attempt to communicate with Nin-Nin-Game, either through email or social media. I don't think it will accomplish much but it's better than doing nothing. I wish you the best of luck!<br /><br />~SuichJenn and Sui Cheehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248172631727355187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626469176896276725.post-37836702528683733862015-06-30T23:03:02.593-04:002015-06-30T23:03:02.593-04:00Ordered a ps vita white - light blue in 20 of june...Ordered a ps vita white - light blue in 20 of june, I paid with debit card and something odd happened, the money on my bank account just drop off from the balance, but there's no transaction... what it means?

From my experience, AmiAmi packages their goods in very generous boxes with lots of packing paper, so you may get a slightly higher shipping fee from them, but because they have an initial discount, I doubt the total cost will go higher than CDJapan's. Even if AmiAmi charges you 5000 yen for EMS shipping (which is a high estimate), the total will only come up to 14980 yen, which is still less than CDJapan's 15100 yen estimate.<br /><br />Given my experience with both companies, I am inclined to go with AmiAmi, simply because I get better customer service from them. =]<br /><br />Happy shopping,<br />JennJenn and Sui Cheehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248172631727355187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626469176896276725.post-62295268383474621492015-05-30T01:54:06.328-04:002015-05-30T01:54:06.328-04:00Hello! I just found your website and your reviews ...Hello! I just found your website and your reviews on different Japanese import websites have been really helpful. Although, I hope you can help me decide something... I'm going to be making my first pre-order for a 1/8 figure but I can't decide whether I should go with Amiami or CdJapan. Since CdJapan gives me a rough estimate of the shipping cost, I can get an idea of the total price. But Amiami has a discount price for the figure, but I don't know the shipping cost. So I was wondering, how likely would it be for Amiami to cost more than CDJapan after the shipping cost is calculated? (I live in the US)<br /><br />For example, on CdJapan the figure costs 10800yen with an estimate EMS shipping of 4300 yen (so a total of about 15100yen / 121 USD), on Amiami it cost 9980 yen, but I don't know the EMS price... <br /><br />Where do you think I should pre-order from? Thank you, I hope you can help me make my decision.<br />- NatalieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626469176896276725.post-65934677819513753362015-04-22T03:47:15.395-04:002015-04-22T03:47:15.395-04:00Margit is very pretty, the character design is nic...<br />Margit is very pretty, the character design is nicely done.

I can't say for sure who runs the Twitter account, but I know Nin-Nin-Game has an Amazon store in France (http://www.amazon.fr/gp/node/index.html?ie=UTF8&marketplaceID=A13V1IB3VIYZZH&me=A326O1U6LPGHXA&merchant=A326O1U6LPGHXA&redirect=true) It's possible they have representatives from both ends.<br /><br />When I ordered from them my item(s) shipped in a timely manner. It's sad to say, but they seem to have gone downhill since then. Unfortunately it appears several others who have commented on this review have had issues with their communication. I highly recommend starting a dispute with Paypal first, assuming you paid using that. The only other thing you can do at the moment is message them (email, Twitter and/or Facebook) and hope they respond. <br /><br />~SuichJenn and Sui Cheehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248172631727355187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626469176896276725.post-24115757662039042182015-03-30T15:15:14.580-04:002015-03-30T15:15:14.580-04:00Hi Stephanie,
