Arashi Chairty Event and Concert Goods Pre-Order
****CLOSED**** (will re-open for Kokuritsu soon!)
ON-HAND EXTRA GOODS CAN BE FOUND HERE
I, being very naive, thought that there would be no goods for the charity event. How wrong I was! Goods for both the concert and special charity event only items will be sold, and thus I will be taking pre-orders! The deadline for this will be soon as the event starts on Friday. The payment/order deadline will be June 24th (Japan time). However, I may also take the day off work and go to buy goods early on Thursday so it would be best if you could order and send payment by June 22nd if possible. Since goods will start selling on Wednesday, I fear that if I wait until Saturday to buy them, things will be sold out! So please place your order as soon as possible, even if you have to wait until the 24th to send payment. Previews will be available starting Wednesday June 21st.
If you want concert goods, I will be running other pre-orders for later concert dates, but the charity event limited items must be ordered and paid for before June 24th.
UPDATE 6/18: I have gotten a lot of orders. Thanks everyone! Please note that I am working on quotes as fast as I can. Please give me at least 48 hours before contacting me again or checking to see if I got your order/placing your order a second time. I have had a few people do this and it makes it harder for me to keep track of how many quotes I have left to get done. I am also traveling in Tokyo right now, so my internet time is limited. I will be able to deal with things faster once I am back home on Monday.
UPDATE 6/22: Won't have time to post previews today as I spent 5 hours in the goods line and didn't even mange to get half the goods I will need to cover all current orders. I was only planning on going Thursday, but am glad I decided to go today as well. I will get in line again tomorrow at 5am to try for round two! Spending so much time in line is making it super hard for me to respond to orders and provide quotes. I have gotten a lot more orders than I expected and I'm not quite sure how to deal with it. Just know that if you leave a comment, I do get and read all of them (via my cellphone) and will probably pick up your goods but may run out of time to quote and send invoices to everyone because I actually need to be at my comupter to do that. I'll try my best though.
UPDATE 6/23: Hello all! I just got done with round 2 of the goods line and have a nice hefty stack of stuff that I am taking home as I type this. I will work on putting up previews of the goods this evening while tackling the long list of comments I've received while waiting in line the past 2 days. A few important points:
1. The Crayon set is not a set of crayons. Sorry! It is a set of Markers. I have corrected this below, but if you were only interested in getting crayons and don't want the markers let me know. Personally, i am getting one for the box!
2. I AM STILL ACCEPTING ORDERS! The 22nd was for goods purchased on the 22nd/23rd. I will go again the 25th/26th but there will probably be a higher change of a sold out situation on those days. I will accept accept orders until June 24th at midnight (Japan time). Once the pre-order is closed, you will see a big red ****CLOSED**** at the top of the post. I am usually pretty flexible though.
3. I may have to close orders for some goods early. In particular, the charity charm. I got 20 of them over the past 2 days and it is still not enough to cover all of the paid orders much less yet to be invoiced orders.
4. Starting on the 24th, if you place an order, you must list the shipping type you want. I will not have time to quote you, confirm, and then invoice. I will simply send your invoice. NO CHANGES ALLOWED as I wont have time to make any changes to your order so be sure of what you want! (you may change the type of shipping but you need to let me know asap as I ship pretty quickly after I return from goods buying). You can also just pay for the goods and I can work out the shipping costs at a later date. Simply say you want to pay for the goods now but shipping later and I will send you an invoice for just the cost of the goods!
5.If you cannot pay by the deadline on the 24th, it's okay! Just say so when placing your order. Know that your order should be final and if you change your mind and don't send payment I will be hesitant to accept orders from you in the future.
UPDATE 6/24: I NO LONGER HAVE TIME TO PROVIDE SHIPPING QUOTES. They are taking me way to long to do and I still have at least 10-20 orders that I have not yet processed. If you want me to get you goods, I will have you send payment for just the goods/paypal fee and can quote you for shipping once I return from Tokyo. This is not normally how I do things, but then I don't normally have to deal with 40+ orders in less than 48 hours. To those who are new to my sales journal, know that this is not the typical experience. If you do not want to place an order before knowing the shipping cost, then you are welcome to wait until my next Arashi Beautiful World Concert pre-order. I will do a pre-order for Kokuritsu for sure and also probably 1 other venue (Osaka, Hokkaido, or Nagoya). They only things that must be ordered now are the charity event only goods.
UPDATE 6/24: I have finally finished responding to order requests! If you have not received a response from me regarding your order, please let me know asap, but at this point, everyone should have heard from me. I will still be taking order for the next 2 hours or so (currently about 10:30pm in Japan) and will pretty much be at my computer until I head to bed working on shipping quotes.
UPDATE 6/26: After over 20 hours in line over the past 4 days, I'm done! Yay! I have everyone's goods on-hand and will ship out things over the next week. For those still waiting on a shipping quote, I will start sending them out this evening/tomorrow morning! Thanks for being patient! I also have some extra goods if there is anyone out there who missed th pre-order and will still like goods, however, I will not post what I have until I have finished shipping out all the pre-orders.
UPDATE 7/2: All order have either been shipped or will ship on Monday excluding order that shipping payment has not yet been receive and orders that have specifically been placed on hold! I have made a post of the on-hand goods I have here. Please check them out if you did not manage to order the goods you wanted before the deadline!
