Posted by McFly @ 21:07 CDT, 14 August 2014 - iMsg

Anyone from NA/EU ordered directly from Artisan in Japan lately?

How did it go? Did you have to pay customs fee / taxes when it arrived? How long before it arrived?

Last time I ordered there, I never received anything. Had to go through a lengthy dispute @ Paypal to get my money back. (this was several years ago)

Now you only can pay with credit card (means I'm fucked if I don't get my mouse pads)

Why not order them from Amazon? You can order some there.

Because it will end up being much more expensive having to get it from a reseller in the US.
About 3 x the price, roughly. (with taxes)

I bought a pad from them in 2012 and had no problems.

Likely going to get another more colourful one soon :]

It took about 1 week from Japan to france. No taxes, directly from artisan-jp.com
I also ordered a pad through Amazon. Again, no taxes and 15 mins after the transaction, they sent me a mail providing the tracking number.

i just checked it again, and they stated the total value to be 2800yen, which is about 21�, and so 1� less after i have to pay import taxes(19%). :|

So you did pay taxes, or?

<< Comment #12 @ 06:39 CDT, 27 August 2014 >>

thuNDa - Reply to #11

no, because it only had a total value of 21� stated on the parcel.
it's tax free up to 22� here. :P

Tell me about it...

I bet you aren't getting called up for $20k owed in retail taxes when you've never sold a retail item in your life.
I bet your money comes back at you in some form :p
