So I take it you've ordered from amazon.jp before? What are the fees to the States like?

ordered a couple magazines before and it was over $20 shipping. ordering alot might offset the shipping. amazon.jp only use ems/dhl? (signature required) to the usa.

i usually try jpqueen or yesasia or other stores to see if their markups are less than the amazon's shipping. wish i lived near a kinokuniya :(

Just like Nokiirat said, Amazon.jp only use DHL/Fedex (no EMS) for international shipping (at least for me in Europe).
International economic shipping is no longer available since march 2007.

All the details for the shipping rates and delivery information can be consulted on Amazon.co.jp right there(it's written in english): Amazon.jp Shipping Rates

Oh how my credit card bill will kill me in the coming months...

So will mine T___T
I've pre-ordered XXXHolic14 since august 2008, and all the others Holic/TRC this morning ^^

I went back to CDJpan yesterday and the TRC26 had disappeared from their listing x__x

As for Amazon.jp, I joined all 4 of them together, because 3300JPY of shipping cost for each one is Hell (it's as expensive as the item itself!!). That way, I only pay 3300 JPY once and then they just add up 300 JPY for each item added.

Anyway, even if it 'officially' appears as 'combined shipping', they never wait until they get them all to dispatch them: they always send it off as soon as they get one ^^
