[Rockn]

what is the website for celga?

[tangerine]

I use bid-service, Juno has been very reliable.

I have been told that Celga is a little cheaper, but takes a lot longer.

Uh, Rockn, have you tried http://www.celga.com?

I just ordered from celga. Seems like it's gonna take quite a while before i get my jeans, but it would have costed me about 20$ more with bid pay.

You have to wait about 2 weeks before you can fill out the shipping form, which i think is too long. Next time, i will order thru djrajio.

As for djrajio, I would have saved about 10$, but unfortunately he replied about 2 hours after i ordered at celga.

[Joe E Taleo]

I second djrajio. Quick and professional.

[Guest Airjamie]

So whats a pretty much flat rate i can expect to pay for say.....a $200 pair of jeans? shipping included. I'm guessing around $30?

[antihelt]

On celga, an estimate of cost would be:

Item: $200

Bank fee: $ 2

JP shipping: $ 10

Their fee: $ 30

-----------------

Subtotal: $242

EMS shipping:$ 25

Total estimate: $267

Their current exchange rate is $1 = 112 yen.

problem is shipping. people will ship with EMS cause it's really fast and you get a tracking # and insurance but it's insanely expensive. shipping alone would cost 25-30$ depending where you live (n. america or europe). bid-service charge 10% i think with a minimum of 10 or 15$, i don't remember.

anyway, i also live in tokyo and i wouldn't mind helping someone out if needed (I'm on holiday from school and a bit bored...).

[antihelt]

I guess your a Dane Kasper, am i right?

If so, when will you return to Denmark, and would you be able to bring along a pair of jeans?

[Kasper]

i'm sorry dude, i'm french canadian... the name comes from Casper from the movie kids, when the movie came out, everyone started using casper as their tagname. always really liked the name but i didn't wanted to end up with the same name as everyone so i changed mine a bit (have to admit i got the inspiration from pro skater josh kasper). it sticked till now. but i i've lived in norway and have many scandinavian friends before so i try to visit scandinavia once a year, i'll let you know if i go over there this summer.

Okay, i just quess because Kasper (with K) is a very used Danish name. For an example, my name is Kasper.

Well, actually it doesn't matter if it is Denmark or France, as long as it is inside EU. I have to pay danish taxes for everything i recieve from outside EU. But Canada is no good, unfortunately.

Just ordered a pair of Evisu for 270$, shipping and fees total, it is 338$

When the item is sent from outside EU, i have to pay:

12% tax of the item price+shipping and fees: 338x1.12 = 378.5

Then 25% of total: 378,5 x 1,25 = 472,2$

And that's quit a lot, in my opinion!

[horriblyjollyjinx]

I ordered through djrajio and asked him to write value 5000JPY, that way I didn't have to pay tax. I'm in Sweden btw.

dontcaretoomuchforcrap CANT SKATE!!

[antihelt]

Nice trick. I'll ask Celga to do the same.
