FromJapan shopping service review

Hey all,

This will be a review on the shopping service FromJapan. They offer a wide range of options from a shopping service, real time bidding shopping, sniper bid, and a find it for me service. They ship right to your door. When it comes to payment there is the option of paying via paypal, credit card or deposit (keep in mind there is a 5% system usage fee.

Just just purchased some stickers from the web store Bside-Label and some lolita items from mbok. 

So here are the calculations:

so on the first page you can click which items you want to be sent together-AI marked all

placed order 22nd may

Overall cost for charge 1 is 15225yen

Final amount total calcuations:

(price x quantity) + commission fee - used points (if any) + system usage fee 

13100 + 1400 + 0 + 725

Once you confirm it can't be cancelled. 

After payment you are sent to the shipping option page

Select items you want to be shipped together

Keep in note there are surchages for extremely large items or an item is specified to send to a Japan local address, members are required to pay 5% of the total charges as an additional fee. Also be sure to read the fine print.,there is a 2000yen charge if you decide to repackage anything.

Choose any option as they will clarify it when in charge 2. I chose EMS just to be safe with regular packaging. I did find this a little tedious since i''d have to choose again when the items arrived. Also excess charge of 500yen if they don't have an appropriate used box? what is this.

(just a head up, you'll receive automated emails for every item you purchase. Prepare for your inbox to be flooded with notifications if you purchase a lot of items)

Updated: 21st of june, Charge 2 was required as all items have been received. For some reason one of my items took a LONG time to arrive at their place. 
On the page you have the choice on how much you want to declare.
you have the choice to have it sent via EMS, Airmail, SAL, Surface mail of FedEx.

You can also choose the option if you want it to be maked as "gift:

Overall it was 3432yen (domestic delivery charge + oversea shipping)

Now to wait~

1st of july the package is finally here :)

So it kind of took longer to receive my package but i'm just happy I received the package

Overall,

Communication:

Pros

Cons
having to go though the shipping option twice (once in charge 1 then having to choose again on charge 2)

I don't have many brown circle lenses but if you are looking for a more enlarging but natural look, i'd recommend these lenses.

Have a really nice halo effect and enlargement 

COLOUR: 

Nice shade of brown and they have a thin ring so it's not really noticable, blends in with eyes nicely. 

ENLARGEMENT: 

16.5mm.

Comfy and no need to rewet. 

Food adventures ~ Shanghai Dynasty Restaurant

Today sets another adventure, this time at

Shanghai Dynasty Restaurant 

1/206 Bourke St  Melbourne VIC 3000 Luxurious fine dining restaurant with lovely service and decor, marble all over, chandelier lights with a warm feeling sets an atmosphere if we were going back in time, classy style. Using scoopon vouchers, it was a 2 hour all you could eat yumcha.We went during lunch time and by then it was pretty packed. We were kindly escorted to our seats, asked what drinks we'd like to order (wine,beer or soft drinks were included in the deal) and as soon as we sat down the food started wheeling its way towards us. Unlimited choices of food, the table was quickly filling up. Within an hour, we were pretty much bloated, over 50 dishes, by the time the the trolleys had arrived for the third round it was enough.  I enjoyed the food. the right texture and the right taste.  Id's recommend this to others who'd like a good experience. Not the best photo of the storefront but it was quite pretty.

 In the hallway before entering the dining room. 

 Dishes slowly increasing: Shrimp dumplings and meatballs

 King prawn cheung fan

 More dishes, i'd say most are prawn filled.

 Sesame prawns on toast

 Desserts: Egg tart, mochi with peanuts and sugar inside

 Mango pudding, sesame jelly, jelly
