So!
This may be old news for a few of us, and not relevant to everyone, but it's still pretty major! Especially if you're using the service in question.
FromJapan, the cheapest deputy service out there, has recently made doujinshi the hardest thing to purchase.
They no longer accept any orders from Toranoana, due to "copyright issues." Worse

Mandarake made their policies harder to since they won't let you buy anything adult with a credit card.
Mitarashi Dango said that they're probably be back this month. Hopefully before Super Comi.
So we're out really (I refuse to buy anything from miharu_hana since that fee is way too damn high).
This really sucks. It's either wait out on Mitarashi or a group order if you want the bang out of your buck.

But fff doujinshi's too addictive.
From what I've seen, miharu_hana looks cheaper than MitaDango, actually. For a single doujin, she's cheaper than FJ too... But maybe it's just because none of my friends have ever had a good experience with MitaDango.

I will say that it's not normal for Mitarashi to act slow like that. I used her 5 times, but the last one her partner was really unusually slow. But I'm willing to let go because the first four times the service was really good, and they did compensate me for the wait.

And I can vouch for what tsuki's saying re; Mitarashi being slow being an unusual thing for them. It's kind of obvious that something or other was up that pushed them to hiatus, after all, and I've always had great luck with them.

I should probably start getting quotes both from her and from FJ on the one I want, but... =n= I wonder how far FJ's rule goes. K-Books doujin don't come sealed, so if the cover doesn't say R-18, are they going to look through it for any chance to take the book away?
I know from experience that there can be tons of material that's not worksafe in books that have no age warning...

Last time I check, miharu_hana charges (price of book in yen) x .0021, it's not bad for a cheap book but you're basically paying 2x for the book alone before shipping fees. Seriously, only shipping fees should be affected but a lot of proxy services like to charge more on more expensive stuff simply because, weight will not matter unless it's shipping, and that's why you have to watch out for people like that.

I guess the best thing to do is count up the order, then choose how to buy it later...
