Cosmo Valdemar Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) Anyone have any experience of this? Any risks? I don't know why there should be but alarm bells always start ringing, hazy memories of warnings never to purchase from sellers in the East or something daft.

Subbeh Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 As long as this seller is reputable and you've factored in the VAT charges I don't think there's much to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colgraff Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 As a rule, I would be happy ordering from Japan as the country is pretty well-behaved and well-regulated. China or Hong Kong would be another matter, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I've bought 3 basses from Japan, no particular problems. One seller used Parcelforce as the partner at this end, 3 days from Tokyo to Coventry then 2 weeks Coventry to my local depot, from where I had to collect it. The other seller sent it DHL and it was 2 days door to door, Tokyo to Benfleet. Cost a little bit more but very much worth it. And I think the under-calculated the duty etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
