CD Japan

[bebopbob]

Has anyone experienced delays from shipping from Japan? 
 

I ordered some CDs from CD Japan three weeks ago with no indication they have been shipped to US via FedEx. I emailed them twice for status of order with no response.

Has anyone experienced the same from CD Japan?

 

thanks 

Bob

I can’t speak for CD Japan specifically but, generally speaking, there have been tariff changes that may be at work. The “de minimus exemption that allowed packages worth less than $800 to enter the U.S. duty-free” [USA Today] has been ended by the administration. Sites like Bandcamp and EBay now have notices that some items may involve new fees or may not be shipping to the U.S. There may also be lengthy delays at customs because no one really knows how to handle any of this. I have a job that is directly affected by these delays. For me personally. purchasing anything outside the U.S. is now off limits (probably the point).

+1 (of many, I'm sure)

Although I've made some import preorders from Dusty Groove, one of which has arrived and another is en route.

That'll be my import source until the tariff thing clarifies. Not holding my breath.

I definitely will limit my overseas orders, though I confess I ordered from cdjapan today . . . I could not resist the new Miles Davis 1964 SACD. There was an additional "fees/charge" of 13 dollars. . . I swallowed it as I had some cash from an audio sale.
