Mandarake Stores Group Order + Toranoana and K-books Direct Order

[rubicons_closet]

Mandarake Group Order InformationI normally order from Nakano first and Ikebukuro/Shibuya second. Fukuoka and Akihabara Complex are possibilities if there is enough interest or if interested parties do not mind splitting the stores' handling fees if any (¥500 for every order under ¥5,000). Orders placed first with deposits take priority in case of

Hi, I'd prefer if you could send money ahead of time (or at least a deposit for confidence sake) as it helps me to process an order more quickly. I won't be submitting until April so you have time. :)

I just wanted to give a long enough heads up just in case there were questions and to give people time to figure out if there was anything they wanted.

I hope that helps!

I think I could do a deposit, that doesn't sound too bad. But I just looked and both of the things I want are only at the ueda shop D:

Did you mean Umeda? Also, what are you looking at specifically? Is it a doll or a book?

Shipping to California.

Hi, thank you. :)
You can choose to send payment as a personal payment to avoid the Paypal fee if you like. In that case, just make sure no fees get forwarded my way. I don't know the shipping for Part 2 yet, but the shipping from me to you will be $5.40 flat rate or $3 media mail (Part 3).

Total of the books: 4204 yen
Total of fees: 400 yen
Total of Paypal fee: 184 yen
Total of Part 1: 4788 yen

Just let me know what you would like to do. I can invoice you if you'd like, in which case I would need your Paypal information and the Paypal fees would be included.

Please check it to make sure everything looks all right.

Hi, are you still doing orders for Mandarake? :) I have two books I'd like to order from there and would like to know an estimate of how much I must pay total via concealed cash. :)

Hi, I am. I might be doing an order from Ikebukuro in the future i you wanted to wait and split with me. I'm going to be ordering enough that there won't be a service fee from Mandarake and shipping per book will most likely be about ¥250. Otherwise... There are no page counts for those 2 books so I will give you an estimate based on a medium page count with shipping to a US zipcode. Please let me know if you are not in the US or an APO/FPO. IF it ends up being less I'll mail back the difference with the books. :)

2 Books (including ¥500 store fee)
¥3,200 (shipped to me) = $35.20 + $4.50 = $39.70 Total

2 Books (split with group order)
¥2,000 (shipped to me) = $22.00 + $4.50 = $28.50 Total

[thatdistantstar]

Hmm... wait, so the books including shipping to you is 2000? And how long would I have to wait? :)

The pages are: 86 and 36, I think- it's somewhere around there, since I checked with Tora some time ago. :) And zipcode is 91709, CA. :D

Actually, I'd like to get rid of Quintet!!! and replace it with http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-226432.html if it's not too costy for me. How much would it be now?

[rubicons_closet]

Yup. To get the US dollar amount, divide the yen price by 90. That's the current commercial exchange rate. I was thinking of doing an Ikebukuro order at the end of this month or the beginning of March. I just did a big one so I'm recovering before doing my next shop, lol.

Okay Justice is a really thick book (over 125 pages) and I think both books are B5 so I'll give you a shipping estimate based on that. If Justice turns out to be an A5 shipping will be a couple hundred yen less. Since the total order is under ¥5,000 there will still be a ¥500 shop fee from Mandarake + shipping. I'll give you the flat rate cost from me to you since they should be over 13oz. If you add a couple books more the shipping from me to you won't go up. :)

2 Books (including ¥500 store fee)
¥5,700 (shipped to me) = $63.33 + $ 5.95 = $69.28 Total

2 Books (split with group order)
¥4,200 (shipped to me) = $46.67 + $5.95 = $52.62 Total

Hello, there. I was wondering if I could get a quote on some items for a direct order from Toranoana?
I'd like to get two copies of http://www.toranoana.jp/mailorder/article/04/0030/12/57/040030125706.html shipped to Florida.

I'd be paying through Paypal, so please quote whichever currency you'd like to be paid in.

[rubicons_closet]

Hi there! The cost of the books from the store including all taxes is looking to be about $26. These are the totals including shipping options to Florida. Actual shipping may be different.

EMS: $45 ($46.75 incl. PP fee)
Airmail: $40 ($41.55 incl. PP fee)
SAL: $35 ($36.50 incl. PP fee)

EMS is tracked and insured, the other 2 may be sent Registered for about $4 extra but otherwise have no tracking or insurance. EMS will take about a week, Airmail will most likely take about 2 weeks and SAL will take a little longer. Actual shipping times may vary.

Please let me know how you would like to proceed and thank you!

[iori_sempai]

Thank you very much. I'll send you an email in a bit!

Question about Mandarake Store

[casinelli]

Hello,

I saw that you take orders from only stores listed, but I thought I'd asked anyway. Is it possible to make order from Nagoya Store?

Thanks in advance for your reply~

Re: Question about Mandarake Store

[rubicons_closet]

Hi, I can only order from the Nagoya store online. It's a 2 hour train ride to Nagoya so it's not possible unfortunately.

Most of the items that are available in store are not shown online so if you want you can send me the titles, artists, covers that you are interested in and we can see if we can find them for you.
