Ordering from Angelic Pretty Japanese Webshop with Japonica
This was my first time ordering anything from Japonica, but because it was requested, here is a quick 'how I ordered' guide (it's actually pretty simple :3 )
I'm putting it in a journal entry and not a comment so it will get snapped up by google for anyone else that is ever wondering.
Step one: Go to the Angelic Pretty Japanese Webshop: http://www.angelicpretty.com/shopping/
Step two: find items you like, and add them to your cart. If you don't read japanese, try out the google chrome browser, it will do on-page translations. Sometimes it fritzes out though and doesn't translate a page when it says it. right-click and choose 'translate to english' if that happens. also, don't set it to auto-translate, it gets confused much more often doing that.
As you find items you like, you want to keep one tab with your cart open (leave them in the cart, even though you won't BUY them on the webshop site) and one tab with the item listing open.
Step three: Once you have everything you want together, open your e-mail in another tab, or your e-mail program. Start a new e-mail to the japonica e-mail. At the time of posting, it is: order@japonicamarket.com but check here: http://www.japonicamarket.com/order-form.htm
They have an auction order form there, but I used a modified version of it for the webshop.
I wrote an intro paragraph explaining where I wanted to buy from, and then:
[ Shopping Order Form ]
Seller ID : Angelic Pretty Japanese Webshop - http://www.angelicpretty.com
Item Name : (Copy and paste the japanese name here. you can translate the page, find where it is, then revert it back to japanese and copy-paste)
Item Name English: (Copy this from a translated version of the shopping cart page so it has the color!)
Item Number: (copy this from the shopping cart page, because it has the color)
Item URL : (the URL of the page that has the item)
Price : (I listed the one that showed in the shopping cart)
Color: (I copied the color from the japanese version AND the english version.)
I posted a block of the information, seller and all, for each item I wanted.
Example:
Seller ID : Angelic Pretty Japanese Webshop - http://www.angelicpretty.com
Item Name : おめかしジャボジャンパースカート
Item Name English: [SALE] Jabojanpasukato dressed (Lavender × White)
Item Number: 102J7-2538-lv
Item URL : http://www.angelicpretty.com/shopping/item/sale/item/jsk/102j7-2538/sale_102j7-2538.htm
Price : 11,400 yen
Color: ☆ラベンダー×シロ (☆ × white lavender)
After all your items add this form:
Payment : ( Credit Card/Bank through PayPal ) / ( Funds in PayPal Balance )
Shipping Options : EMS / Registered Airmail
PayPal Account :
PayPal Confirmed Shipping Name and Address :
Send the e-mail, and you will get a reply
Note: if you have money in your paypal account, and pay with it, it's MUCH cheaper than paying by creditcard through paypal, but it takes days to add from your bank account to paypal, so it pretty much has to be there already, because japonica won't buy until you pay them.
