Oh noooo

amazon.jp has switched from DHL to Fedex.

amazon's 3000 yen shipping charges + amazon's 300 per item handling charge + Fedex's $30 paperwork handling charge + laughable GST (eg $1.50 on a $25 order) = too damned expensive to order from Japan any more.

Oh well. It was fun while it lasted, but fun never lasts.

IIRC Bk1 ships through the States and then over the border by courier, entailing precisely the same problems with paperwork.
