"Official" Peeps will be checking it out, so SOUND OFF!!
And I'll leave this thread for y'all to TALK SMACK!! Fantasize. About any other crazy ideas or demands. Like RIKA USAGI PLUSH at discount prices!! :otomerika:
Tsunku Trunks anyone? :pimp:
-
Wow amazing! How I wish this had happened several years ago when I was a big fan XD
Still, great news for all the current fans!! :w00t:
I wonder if they'll have interesting stuff of the past generations... Like cool Nacchi stuff :wub: XD
-
they only ship in the USA right? :cry:
-
Yeah, anything but photos. I want TOWELS!! tam got 1, I want 1. Like lifesize Rika 2006 tour towels so I can use on my crotch. XD
-
yea i got the same mail around 3am lolz. Im 2 lazy to repost what i said so imma just copy paste the one in my FB lol
Person1: I believe it when I see it eh.. lol means I really need to find a job now. especially since I dont have cash for my uncharted 2 preorder! :O
A_P: well they acually posted the date on the site. their already almost 2 months behind from the date they told me so they better follow through this time lol.Not like i care since im going to the h!p store in UENO tokyo
person1: Lol, that's why I will be more optimistic when it actually opens, lol but they don't seem to be to intelligent on getting the job done, if it opens oct 1st, I bet they will only have three things for sale, like they promised to sell cd's on japanfiles! I hope they will have a full catalog of stuff, it will make begging for money for Koha's stuffs better.
A_P: lol watch the only stuff they have are the items on the picture in the website lol
person2: Haha! Chances are the site is going to sell left overs Wotas don't want.
A_P: That would suck ass but it will be hella funny if it is the leftover ones
Hope they have recent stuff in the catalog and some rare stuff too.That would give them ++ points
-
Hmm, interesting news, let's see what kinda goods they'll bring.
-
Over 1,000 individual pieces are in stock for over 250 items, including photo cards, books, towels, phone straps, fans, and T-shirts. Featured artists include Morning Musume, Berryz Koubou, C-ute, Melon Kinenbi, Ongaku Gatas, Aya Matsuura, Natsumi Abe, and more. All items are in stock and ready to ship immediately. HelloStoreUSA will ship items to fans in North America, Central America, South America, Europe, and Australia. Flat rate shipping is available for all orders. The first stage of products featured in the HelloStoreUSA catalog will focus on tour goods from past and present Hello! Project and UFA artists. Additional tour items and non-tour goods are scheduled to be added in the coming months. Fans are encouraged to give feedback on what artists and items they would like to see added to the store. Contact information will be listed on the HelloStoreUSA website.

(and Daigong's response to Jeani is incorrect -- all goods in our store can be shipped to North America, Central & South America, Europe, and Australia.)
-
oh cool you ship to europe :heart:
thats great! ^^
I hope not only photos :love:
-
Sheesh, I blew my wad on Joshi Kashimashi singles, H!P All-Stars and the 2001 solo single set. What's this place got that the old store in the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center didn't have?
We'll see...
-
Effing awesome, I'm stoked! :twothumbs
-
I have to ask..are there any rare stuff that will be ordered..like special dvd's or items by graduate members and such?
-
S/MILEAGE POSTER PLEASE
hahahahahah
They'll do a major debut sooner or later!
-
Funny how at least half of the people in the Hello Store flyer has been "graduated" from H!P. Would be cool if they somehow marketed goods from generations past. Imagine: Gen 4 or Gen-5 t-shirts, circa 2001-2003.
Ten years, burning down the road...
-
Wicked~! :w00t: I'm excited for this. :heart:
-
awesome, hopefully we'll get some posters!

Thank you very much! I'm happy to see there WILL be Nacchi items and stuff from the past generations of H!P. :heart:
Also good to see the variety of kinds of items that will be available. I'll be looking forward mainly to phone straps and t-shirts ^o^
-
Man, so many of us are going to start having REALLY lighter wallets. :lol:
-
Yay! I'm glad they're having stuff from the graduated members, too, and not just the current groups. I hope they have some Yossie stuff. :D
-
Am so tempted to just ask for 1 of each item when the store opens. :lol: But seriously... Glad this is happening and I'm beyond excited for this. October 1st can't come soon enough.
-
they only ship in the USA right? :cry:
They gave a preview to Paul thomas over @ Hello Blog and he's a brit.
http://www.helloblog.co.uk/comment.php?commentID=503&month=40 (http://www.helloblog.co.uk/comment.php?commentID=503&month=40)
on his post there were examples and prices were in dollars and in pounds.
and to quote him"As, you can probably see from the prices above (being in dollars and pounds), the really good news is that unlike the CDs and MP3 downloads these items aren't limited to just the US, they will be shipping outside of America with there shipping rates showing prices to the Australia, Canada, Europe, Mexico and the US.
EDIT: probably should have read further down to see that the question was already answered. Anyway, looking forward to doing lots of shopping on Oct.1st.
-
THEY CAN SHIP TO SOUTH AMERICA !!!!!
my gosh this is so tempting... i might be living in a park bench by the end of the year XD
-
I am going to love that store. :wub:
-
If I can get Koharu stuff from the latest Momusu concert, then I'm good.
-
^ I'll try to hook ya up :9
YO!! Wanna be heard? The more feedback, the better Japan Files Dave can process the requests. Rika is already on top of their list, I'm sure :whistle: :grin:

You can write an ass-kissing post like this :lol:
Great stuff Japan Files!! This is an exciting time for fans oversesa.
One request goods featuring graduated members, esp. Rika Ishikawa, Hitomi Yoshizawa.
There are some non-tour, FC items. Like:
http://www.up-fc.jp/m-line/174news.php (http://www.up-fc.jp/m-line/174news.php)
How far back are we talking about with tour goods.. There are some tour items that I wanted from 2006, this water bottle. Also, any FC DVDs?
Will you also be shipping to other Asian countries? Like Hong Kong or the Phillippines.
Thanks!
-
That rare shit. I doubt it, cuz I asked Fen to check it out for me: http://www.helloproject.com/museum/tour/05_morningspring (http://www.helloproject.com/museum/tour/05_morningspring)
(http://www.helloproject.com/museum/tour/05_morningspring/img/10.jpg)
WATER BOTTLE!
(http://www.helloproject.com/museum/tour/05_morningspring/img/41.jpg)

Finally! I'm going to be so broke! :nervous

-
Too bad I'm already broke :lol:
I might be buying some Berryz stuff once in a while though, if it's fair shipping costs.
So I hope they're going to offer more than the cn fc. I want to be able to buy some of the mall items as well.
And since they work with upfront they should organize some signed items like they're usually only for fc someday~
-
I pray that they will sell FC MKB Live DVD :bow:
-
Yeah. I'd toss in the obscure items. How about NatsuMilk XD
Right now most of our tour goods are from 2007-2009.
Since all of our products are new and purchased directly from UFA, we are limited to what they still have in stock.
We do not ship to Asian countries at this time.
We don't have that bottle of water in stock, but we'll look into it next time we go to Japan.
GJ JapanFiles! I like that personal service.
Odango could probably open up shop RIGHT NOW.
That's true, posters can be a pickle. I wanna send some too but I gotta buy shipping tubes. :/
We have 46 different items in stock from Summer 2009 Champloo. Fans, towels, photo sets, and the visual book. Groups like Morning Musume, C-ute, Berryz Kobo, Erina Mano, Aa!, New Mini-Moni, Zoku V-uden, ZYX-a, and BUONO!
We have 3-5 of each items in stock. If we sell out, we'll be placing re-orders to UFA right away.
GREAT!

Please keep your suggestions & requests coming!

good job JPfiles! store was laggy but it is expected as everyones checking it out! didnt find anything I like but subscribed to your newsletter for upcoming new shit! Props! :thumbsup
-
Haha yeah everyone checking it heh, a lot of timeouts.
I'll probably get some thank you very berry momo goods once they're in-stock. :ph43r:
-
Shipping cost is way too much...33$ to France :shocked
-
Not enough MKB. Most of the Sayumi stuff I would like to have is sold out.
-
Shipping cost is way too much...33$ to France :shocked
Flat Rate Shipping (5-10 days USA / 7-14 days Int'l) - $33.00
Same for me. I guess that's why it's the USA store :P
The selection is good and I guess it's more convenient than auctions and stuff, but I don't think I'll be ordering anything due to the shipping price.
edit: the shipping is the same for 1 photoset or multiple items, so I guess it comes down to ordering a lot of stuff at the same time to be more economical XD

@nachdenki
Haha yeah everyone checking it heh, a lot of timeouts.
Thanks to everyone who came to the website to check out our opening day. At 12:01 AM we were slammed, and the site took on a lot of traffic. Many of you stuck it out, and we really appreciate your patience.
@frantzdream
Shipping cost is way too much...33$ to France
@BarrieV
Flat Rate Shipping (5-10 days USA / 7-14 days Int'l) - $33.00
Flat rate shipping to France is only $14.00 if your order contains unlimited amounts of photo cards, mini-towels, phone straps, or T-shirts.
Any oversize items require us to place your whole order into a larger box (or boxes), so only in that case would your shipping cost raise to $33.00.
@A1
Not enough MKB.
UFA produces limited amounts of MKB merchandise, so past goods are hard to come by. When they announce new goods we'll be sure to stock up on as many as possible.
Please feel free to ask us more questions at the JapanFiles forum.

wonder if they'll be more Elder Club stuff coming in the next few days?(Nacchi, Yuko, etc)
-
14$ to Europe is a fair price after all it's just about 10€ for a package from America. I hope the store won't ever have something that requires large package shipping that I want to buy though :lol:
Would be nice if the store can get some older DVD Magazines in the future, I know they also sell older ones at concerts in Japan officially so maybe they can get them for the shop as well. In particular I'm missing the Berryz ones past vol. 12 but I can't afford to buy much at the moment anyway so I don't need them soon.
Also needs more L-size photo sets~
Good (or bad? :lol:) to see a couple of stuff sold out already, maybe they've got some money to stock more now
-
It's a good start. I hope they start selling some DVDs too. :drool:
-
they got a poll question..if we keep getting people to vote on it, then they'll put it out
-
lol checked it out when i woke up this morning and like 80% of the shit was sold out already, you assholes staying up until 1201! its cool, ill get ap to get me stuff when he goes in dec
-
looks like I'll have to order that Rika shirt..and MAYBE that red Miki shirt as well :)
-
$40 for a Koharu towel? And that's without shipping yet. Still a bit too pricey for me :/ And the only Momusu shirt on their is sold out, oh well.
-
We just sent out our newsletter announcing the day/time that the Nine Smile goods go on sale!

Holiday Pre-Order Update: After LOTS of problems with US Customs, the goods from Japan arrived at our warehouse yesterday. (12/16).
More updates:
http://hellostoreusa.livejournal.com/ (http://hellostoreusa.livejournal.com/)
http://www.twitter/com/hellostoreusa (http://www.twitter/com/hellostoreusa)
We sent out a newsletter to our customers yesterday with more info.
The contents are reprinted below.
* * * * *
Dear HelloStoreUSA Customer:
Many of our customers are experiencing delays in receiving their holiday pre-orders.
We are very sorry for the inconvenience.
U.S Customs delayed processing these goods from Japan for over 2 weeks, and we have been unable to get confirmation of delivery until today.
We want to assure you that this delay was completely beyond the control of HelloStoreUSA and Up Front International. Many explanations have been provided by U.S. Customs officials including Christmas-time increases in overseas shipments, two separate computer outages, and lost paperwork. It was also pointed out to us that our first two shipments were only 10-12 boxes each, and this shipment was 49 boxes so it was subject to extra scrutiny which further increased the delays.
The goods have arrived in our warehouse today, and our staff is working late hours the rest of this week to try to make up for lost time.
If you have placed an order for goods during our Holiday pre-order sale, please check your HelloStoreUSA account in the next few days for updates on the shipping status of your order.
We sincerely apologize for the delay as we know this has affected the holiday plans of many of our customers.
Thank you for supporting H!P artists at HelloStoreUSA!
-
No worries Japanfiles! I can't imagine the swarm of orders y'all must be getting during the holidays.
*sighs in relief* I have that problem too! I thought it was just me. :lol:
I want my T-shirt and pics!!!
I want my Rika pics, Ongaku Gatas PB, and lunch boxes!!
-
Great! Got my shit yesterday. in nice big ass box shipping. Thanks for the effort guys :thumbsup

They finally are selling photobooks, but I was wondering how bad are the shipping and shipping costs?
