Best place to buy Sugar Cane online?

[Guest Raul]

Hi,

according to your experience, what is the best place (for prices and reliability of the seller) to buy Sugar Cane jeans online from Japan? I am from Europe.

Thanks

or pretty much any rakuten shop that ships to the US (makes no difference).

i take back what i said, this site is an even bigger ripoff than caliroots, a mere 300% mark-up from japanese retail...

is not that caliroots is not a good site, it's just that the price they charge is outrageous. the charge 3 times as much as it would cost you to order from rakuten or 2000db for a pair of 47, which i think is pretty much theft.

[dancancer]

Caliroots is in fact overpriced, before they dropped the price you would be paying almost triple that of a japanese store's price.

All the below mentioned places are good, you can also check out Blue in Green

In my experience 2000DB, Mil-mil (for Sugar Cane ) and Blue in Greene are all superb !

For anything other than Sugar Cane 2000DB is probably lowest cost, biggest range ( as he can get pretty well anything ) and brilliant service, BIG are fantastic service and if you're unsure of size you can exchange, and believe me I know from experience how much that's worth !

[justiz2]

I would recommend going through 2000DB to be honest. Unless you've got someone to buy and bring it back to you from Japan directly, I think that would be the cheapest option.

[Pauken4]

The "do-it-yourself" directly from Rakuten is easily the least expensive.

There is no doubt that 2000dB is offering a great service. But for easily to ordered and readily available items such as Canes, you can do it yourself without much trouble.

There are no middle man fees. Only price, VISA conversion charge ( 2%) and shipping.

The pair I ordered from Earthmarket, all told, chain stitched to exact length, was less than $150.

I got a pair of SC 1966 No Wash in the mail today from Earth Market. Total shipping time was two days so I was really shocked when they came already.

I have a feeling I got too small of a size so these might be up in the supermarket soon.

I've used Hinoya a few times. Just ask them to mark the price down to about 3000 yen to beat custom taxes.

[indii]

Wow, two days? Mind me asking where you live?

I live in Hawaii so I guess the jeans only have to travel half of the Pacific Ocean.

[coleslawyum]

I gotta vouch for Earthmarket. They are fast and have great service. For the US, there is no better store than Blue In Green. Incredible customer service, run by guys who love denim.

[Snacks]

I ordered a pair of SugarCane Jeans from mil-mil.net.

The service was excellent and very friendly, and the jeans arrived in just a few days.

I am from Europe also.

togged.com have quite a few models if you are based in the uk. obviously not the cheapest price you will find, but it cuts out some of the long distance shopping anxiety.

[LeicaLad]

So, I have a dumb question. If you buy items in the UK, for example, that are shipped out, you are not liable for VAT. If you buy direct from the Japan mail-order house, do you pay the sales tax or not?

I presume that any buyer (2000db, for example) would have to pay the tax, but I was unclear if mail-order purchases are charged the tax or not.

Thanks.

[percy]

i am guessing that if you buy an item in any country that is to be sent to a different country, that you are not liable for the origin countries sales tax (or you can claim it back). however, you may be liable for the destinations countries taxes.

Did those who ordered from Hinoya directly do so using a Rakuten ID or by other means?
