Serivce update: almost over... last call.

[xcoldricex]

I posted this in the supermarket thread also- but I figured I'd post it here if people don't check supermarket.

------

ok, so i'm going to take a short trip to taiwan from the 11th-16th. i am leaving japan on the 18th to go to shanghai for a few days, then i'm heading back to the states for good.

SO this means you need to get in your last orders ASAP. i will be back in osaka for the 16th and 17th- i will probably only take orders for things i can readily get here (not pure blue japan or eternals- i'll have to see. i can get SDA, 45rpm, warehouse, denime, sugar cane, evisu, full count, etc. pretty easily). and I don't really want to spend my last day buying stuff for other people. So it would be good if you got your order in before July 8th. I will continue accepting orders at my discretion after that.

Please email me your orders, I reply to PM's much slower. Thank you.

[greentea]

it was fun while it lasted. thanks for my sammurai belt and jeans. btw.

[sneakeraddict]

Who else on here lives in a major Japan city.

I demand they take over this service provision.

Never got round to getting my SCs and Samurais I wanted cos I was relying on selling shit on ebay and using that cash for the jeans

That's what I did, but it worked for me (Thanks, Zvezdochka). And just in the nick of time!

[greentea]

yeah, i say get it now, then sell your stuff later. use the card

[artificialsky]

hopefully djrajio steps back up to the plate.

else we're fucked!

[xcoldricex]

it's a lot more work than you'd imagine. rajiv has a real job to deal with, haha.

[tweeds]

i think he mentioned once not to use his real name on the boards...

[mizanation]

nice run, coldrice. who will be next to carry the torch?

well, blue in green in new york ships everywhere (and also handles exchanges, i think) so maybe they can take things over.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

true.

privacy, he said.

[tweeds]

djrajio will suffice, i reckon. i actually PMed him once recently but he said to look up coldrice instead. maybe he's busy? either way, someone on the other side would be good. there's all that markup when you deal with a store.

there's red in okinawa, i just realised!

[mizanation]

okinawa is another world (literally) compared to tokyo. whoever does this next must be in tokyo, no doubt about it. also, like coldrice said, it's not an easy job.

[tweeds]

well he does have a sugarcane store near him, so it's not entirely a bare rock. admittedly, though, someone in the metropolitan areas (tokyo, osaka) would be better placed to provide a similar coldrice-esque service.

[mizanation]

haha, ironically, the u.s. military's pet name for okinawa is "the rock". if you go there, you will understand, it's a mostly rural tropical island with a lot of u.s. armed forces. red might be a good source for sugarcane because he can use military shipping.

[tweeds]

no, red is a good source for sugarcane only because he's real fertile and good for cropping. and then there's the military shipping.

so anyway we need to set up a proper tokyo branch of superfuture!

[mizanation]

lol. nice one, TIP.

[greentea]

haha tweedles you took the icon?

[tweeds]

tweeds came, tweeds saw, tweeds saved-cropped-uploaded.

yeah, i think i did.

[sneakeraddict]

What about Ryu?

LOL!

Bullying people into providing a service even if they got jobs!

[PG2G]

well, I'm sure red could handle internet orders (like celga or juno) if he was so inclined. Outside of some of the harder to find stuff, most things people want are available on rakuten.

[dismalfuture]

Thinking about moving to Japan. Still a few months away though, or more. Not sure if I'd have tons of time to be a personal shopper for denimheads either, but always a possibility.

[sneakeraddict]

Just out of interest, how does someone come to "think about moving to Japan" !!!

(Not that that is a bad thing at all)

Just I am presuming you are European or American citizen, so in my mind that would be a HUGE change of life!

[PG2G]

Yeah, especially a few months away

i did the opposite.

[xcoldricex]

so i need money to finance more personal purchases so im going to extend my services- i am still gone the 11-16th and leaving the 19th. but i can still take orders over that time and get them out to you when i get back on the 16th. because im running low on my personal money- i need money to get into my account prior to getting back- so it:d be good if you could put in your last order on the 13-14th or so. this is the LAST CALL.

[2000dB]

I am moving to Japan (if everything goes as planned) in September or October.

That would give you just enough time to save up your money

But seriously, when I get there I wouldn't mind doing the same thing xcoldricex did.

I could also set up a Yahoo japan account for those that want stuff there.

What part of Japan are you staying and for how long?

[2000dB]

What part of Japan are you staying and for how long?

My plan is to stay in Tokyo and I'll stay as long as I can afford it.

[mizanation]

Tokyo is a tough place to try to just wing it. You will invariably run out of money a lot quicker than you expect.

On the other hand, if you know your stuff, it can be surprisingly easy to live cheaply in Tokyo, especially now.

You have a good network of resources here, so, if you do your homework, I think you'll be OK.
