You also need to confirm with the seller when they will actually ship the goods. I order very often from Amazon, and most of the time, its delivered in 2-3days using Takyubin, which is the norm. However there are some shops that even though they have stock, it took them 5 days. Most recent order I made was Sunday evening, and I got it on Tuesday morning.

Hmm 2-5 days. Allowing for *problems* to arise, like I said before, maybe I'm better off heading to Yodo Hakata when I get there.

Looking at the site, prices seem good vs what we get locally (plus the current below 3 exchange rate which is a good bonus) and the range is extensive.

... except for the fact that they don't seem to keep stock of the Zipshot any more. They do have a cheaper clone on sale (and in stock) though, let's see if it's good enough.

Oh, and anybody know if any Uniqlo stores in Japan actually stock "plus" sizes? I know the website does, but that's about it. Googling is giving me mixed answers, mostly saying no. Keeping my hopes up though - have to get me some heattech goodness before going up to Hokkaido later.

On another note, today go JTB get JRPass. Hopefully they updated the price according to the current exchange already, and can get it a bit cheaper.

As far as I know Uniqlo in Ginza have plus size. Not sure about others though.

2. As for Yen I went to Bank Negara to change, because we needed to change a 5-figure sum. If it's a smaller sum, then Pyramid's money exchange rate is quite good.

I called to Bank Negara and they mention that they do not exchange to public and advise me to go to money changer. Wonder how you manage to change it at Bank Negara, please do share. Thanks.
