What's the best place online to buy H!P goods? more like merchandise.
See below.
And what's a good site to buy H!P discography that will count on the Oricon sales?
-
CDJapan (site and commmunication is entirely in English)
-
HMV (most of the site and commmunication is in English)
-
Amazon JP (some of the site and commmunication is in English (the checkout pages are in English))
i bought several stuff on YesAsia.com but them i found out that it's not counted towards Oricon charts since it's base in Hong Kong. i wanna contribute to sales figure during release period.
with old stuff, i guess i can use YesAsia.com for that. YesAsia also have some H!P goods, but i bet they don't have all.
- YesAsia has CD's, DVD's, books, calendars and some magazines.
- CDJapan does not sell books and only subscriptions for some magazines. Does sell calendars.
- HMV does sell books (PB's), but no magazines. Don't know about calendars.
- Amazon JP has CD's, DVD's, books, calendars and magazines.
These shops also have different shipping options and rates, be sure to check them out and compare.
i wanna go to a english site and check out all merchandise. aka, photocards, posters, phone straps, stickers,etc. u know typical merchandise?
The official Japanese H!P on-line stores only ship to domestic Japan. There are intermediaries you could use, but I have no experience with them. The Chinese official H!P site does ship (some of the) goods internationally, but communications are entirely in Chinese.
There are plenty of unofficial resellers, check out the
JPHiP Marketplace.
Also: i dunno much about H!P official stores.
How many are there in total? in Japan? in Hawaii? anywhere else?
I heard that only FC members are able to shop there. is it true? no in-store or online sites for non-FC members or for oversea fans?
For the official stores see
Hello! Pro shopping guide for Tokyo thread. There also stores that sell H!P goods in other big cities (e.g. Osaka). Non-FC members can shop at the official shops. The official store in Hawaii closed several years ago.
