New update:
I was whining with my boss on WhatsApp about Out of Stock books until he asked have I received email from Kinokuniya. He said Kinokuniya's supplier in Japan and the book publisher are two different thing it's best to wait until they sent new email to confirm my order status before buying new one.
And yeah the old man was right. Tadaaa..

I was panicking for nothing yesterday till forgot about email they just sent. 😂🤣 Kinokuniya just charged my cc today and delivery probably be done next week.
Thank God I haven't ordered from Japan e-hon yet bought from Kinokuniya jimat RM22-RM25 than buying and shipping using buyandship.com

Moral of the story,be patient when buying Out of Stock books from Kinokuniya always check for their email first. Yes update can be very slow it's almost 1 month liao.
The book is in stock now for those who are interested to collect Romantic Country series by Eriy can order here. https://malaysia.kinokuniya.com/bw/9784766128673

Phewww. My problem sudah solved feeling relieved now.
I'll leave the thread open for you guys to discuss about buyandship company or other third party forwarders for your oversea purchases.

have u tried buyee? subsidary of ebay

buy from amazonjp and ship directly will be cheaper than using buyandship

buyandship for me now not worth anymore its so expensive now compared to last time when they launched

only use it if u buy from us or uk website

btw did you check your book availability on bookdepository?

Done chat they can deliver it. But the CS also said consolidation only be done once my parcel arrived at their warehouse in Hong Kong,not in Japan.

Thank you. I will look for it later.

it ships from japan, you can use the google translate feature on the website, but to be safe, find someone to read for you

ayam once bought an item, when the item arrived, it is empty inside,

rupa rupanya the seller is selling the box only

Believe me I have checked book depository first but there's always 'Unavailable' status for many Japanese books I want there.

I've been searching on so many websites since last month from Tsutaya,HMV to Rakuten. All out of stock.

Yes buying from Amazon JP definitely way cheaper I've done that but sadly the current book I want not available to Add in Chart like this. https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Romantic-Coun...766127390&psc=1 😭
I think they really out of stock on Amazon warehouse. If buy from third party sellers you can see above pic the prices ridiculously high it's at least 5000¥ for one copy.

I could have bought 2-3 books including shipping fees for that price.

I've learned my lesson. Always always buy old books immediately especially when they're in low stock. Really regret I didn't get it early this year.

One rare Korean colouring book I managed to get it after I made special request to Korean seller on Shopee. But sadly there are no Japanese book seller on Shopee no?

have u tried cdjapan? they have proxy service

Not yet. Will check on it later thank you for suggestion.

buyandship is forwarder, they consolidate and forward all parcel sent to their warehouse in each country, as long not illegal item, they will deliver it
their main warehse is HK, warehse in other countries will send to HK, then HK will consolidate and calc the shipping fee

i've used them to get cookie from UK before

You can try wordery, betterworld books and alibris.

Standard price for shipping one book is how much? SkyNet cheapest RM52 for below 1kg weight listed on their website. If yes I would pick that.

But I'm still searching around on other bookstores now.

Found 8 stores but all Out of Stock. 😟

Tried proxy search but prices same like Amazon third party sellers. Too high.

Interestingly their new books has lower conversion rates compared to Amazon. Thanks for suggesting the website book Miki Takei are way cheaper here.

unable to tell you the price, depend on weight/size of the item
yup, skynet is cheaper between 2 options

Ok. I didn't see this page lol I'm still new to their website just clicking around. Thanks for showing.

Done searching Alibris got English version of the book wow I didn't know that. 😮 But sadly the price is out of reach $165.

Other stores all out of stock.

U can order in japan website n ship to buyandship warehouse in japan. Then they will send to hongkong, then u consolidate n make payment, n wait for parcel in msia

Yup I understand that now. So far the book only available on the Japanese e-hon website they said can ship it.

Grats enjoy the book

Remember to use bigpay or wise to pay for it. You got great rates form either of those cards.

You get free RM10, I also get RM10. Win-win situation ✌🏻

Yes very true, they removed Quantium Solution which offered the lowest rm22 per pound and i thought the move was temporary but turned out to be not. Now you have to pay rm26 per pound. The price keeps increasing after a period of time. It started off at a low rate and just goes up and up. Their credit points for fb sharing also reduced to 15 points. With the weakening ringgit, its not that cheap using this service anymore and their indonesian warehouse is not efficient at all.

I hate that they are using skynet. Quantum slow but cheap.
Any other sites that can do what buyandship at cheaper price?

if the book you are looking for is OOP i think this price is reasonable

It's solved thanks for all your replies. Kinokuniya just sent email yesterday I didn't check first but straight cried bising2 here damn paiseh. 🤣😂😝
They charged my cc today so probably will sent my book next week. But I'm glad I haven't placed order at J. e-hon last night just registered the account.
I've updated the first post.
