If u can find one in Japan, air ticket and transport no need money??? Hotel?? If u happen to travel there ok la but every time someone comment like that 😅

Well Imo yes its shitty that have to bundle in that 1-2 switch but the end price isn't that big of a difference u save when u can pick it up from a place locally like impulse, check it on the spot if there is any problem. Even postage impulse often have few days 1-1 exchange policy.

Much easier than going back to a ship it from Japan through a middle man, might end up with problem. Talk back to the middleman and they blame it on the shipping courier for damage. Been burnt once like that and I just think for an item that isn't terribly difficult to acquire locally there isn't too much of a need to go through all the hoops and its not like they r charging absurd amount over the top.
