any problems with deliveries from japan 15 Years, 9 Months ago Karma: 0  
hi all,
anybody recently had delays, parcels not tuning up from japan. The reason i ask is that i am expecting a "10 mini lp cd delivery" from cdjapan. They were sent 23/07/08 and as yet not arrived they were sent "registered air mail"{which is tracked until leaving japan}i have used this service loads of times and the parcels have been here within 7/8 days.

I have just emailed cdjapan with my concerns and awaiting their reply.

Are there any problems that other people have had or having.

thanks...mark in plymouth u.k.

Hi Mark,

I've had some delays too but mine has been shipped SAL so it's hard to say - SAL is hit and miss.

All of my deliveries from cdjapan/hmv japan & any ebayers, have all arrived within 4-5 days through EMS. However, customs quite often stop them and it can take them up to 2 weeks to communicate with you and hold you to ransom for the tax.

If posting from Japan, ALWAYS EMS as you can track to your door via parcelforce in UK.

On a customs note, I was charged 7.50 tax on 2 discs of combined value 19.00, and to add insult to injury, the admin cost for telling me this thru parcelforce was 15.00! Ouch!

Customs is a lottery most of the times. Fortunately for me with EMS in about 120 parcels only one time had it stopped and the contents was the DEVO promo box and about another 10 individual mini lps.

But the only taked the invoice from the slip bag and charged the taxes, no further charges (the only bad is that charged for the product + the shipping cost), delays, or something.

The ones that charged me for admin cost were ALWAYS DHL, Fedex, and similars and as in your case they were high charges enven for a 2 albums shipping priced at only $30.

Front cover (main) image of WPCR-13142 (fake) : Led Zeppelin : Fake Led Zeppelin - 40th Anniversary Definitive Collection (Zoso Box)
WPCR-13142 (fake) : 2009-01-01

This fake Led Zeppelin 40th Anniversary appears to be made in China. You would find it hard to pick a sealed copy of this as being anything other than than the real deal.

Inside it is also remarkably similar but has some significant, obvious differences in packaging including: (a) the CD comes in a flimsy loose fitting bag (b) Physical Graffiti has no cut out windows and (c) III (3) has no turning wheel.

The CDs also have the tell tale extra ring in the middle but this is much better disguised than usual.

Unusually for fakes these have the catalogue number and an IFPI code (CC 303) on the silver side of the disc.

Front cover (main) image of VC 04-17 : Beatles (The) : Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
VC 04-17 : 2002-01-01

Russian mini LP of the 1967 album from the Fab Four. Nice reproduction including a full black CD replica of the original vinyl disc.

 
Front cover (main) image of WPCR-13295 : Talking Heads : Speaking In Tongues (+2)
WPCR-13295 : 2009-01-14

Fifth studio album, featuring Talking Heads only US Top Ten hit, Burning Down The House (including an alternative version as a bonus, and an unfinished outtake of Two Note Swivel).

This version is a reproduction of the limited edition clear vinyl version designed by artist Robert Rauschenberg, who won a Grammy Award for his work.

 
Front cover (main) image of EMICD-11228 : Pink Floyd : Oh By The Way: European Box Set
EMICD-11228 : 2007-11-26

16 CD box set - being 14 studio albums including 2 doubles.

According to Pink Floyd Brain Damage site there were a few glitches with this release, the most notable being a misprinting of the inner bag for the second CD in "The Wall".

There are also cases of an album being missed out and duplicates in their places.

The later Japanese release of this box set is basically identical to this box set.

Poor quality fakes exist for this set - more details below.

The original Japanese individual releases are regarded as being of a much higher quality to either of these box sets.

You can see a YouTube video of this set on the videos page.

Front cover (main) image of TOCP-71041 : Beatles (The) : The Beatles in Mono
TOCP-71041 : 2009-09-09

Published by EMI Music Japan. This box is a little larger than the non-Japanese version as it contains additional printed material.
