The latter days are here

[flemmings]

So yesterday, see, I come home to find an utterly unexpected package from kinokuniya in my front door, as described here. And I open it all happily and blah blah. Seems I could have lost a hand or something so what a good thing I didn't read The Star before opening my kinokuniya package.

Equally, amazon.jp books arrive today. $16 of GST on five volumes whose combined price is about $30. GST is 6%. How did they arrive at this figure? I shall squint at the numbers but I bet it was by adding in amazon's shipping costs. OTOH Fedex only charged me $7 handling. OTOOH this is still being screwed right, left and centre and I say the hell with it.

Oh, those covers make my tummy churn. :(

Those import costs are ridiculous. I know that Amazon US is starting to list Japanese books, can you try putting the isbn numbers into Amazon.ca to see if they'd get them or would they still charge you the import fees?

oh dear. I wonder if this is why post takes so long these days to your parts ...they're being sniffer dogged.

Thank you for sharing the scans! I wonder if my Ward has been reserved for me. Is there an ep. of Mr Morning in it? Must go check! ^__^...

Thank you for the heads up and the scans!

Is that third Gaiden the last book? :(

(Saiyuki is now how many books total...17? Not counting Gaiden?)
