Can t be trusted and charge whatever they want after initial payment
I ve been using Cd Japan for years and never had an issue until last week I placed an order for 2 items a model and some decals total including shipping 5600 2 days later I m told the decals aren t being sold anymore this is fine except a week later they re still selling them which is odd 4 days later I get an email saying the item is too heavy to send via my chosen shipping method Registered sal and it would have to be sent EMS for an extra 7000 and that I should reply and let them know how I wanted to proceed I immediately thought that this was odd due to other sizes all offer my chosen shipping method Registered SAL as it s under the size and weight required for cdjs A3 box with this shipping method After double checking with 2 other large model exporters it seemed there was an issue and I contactred them stating the size weight was within their limits for registered sal and that other sites offered this option and it in fact wasn t over weight as stated by Japan post site They immideitly tried to charge me for EMS shipping within an hour of replying with my issue luckily I use a 2nd account for ordering and only keep the amount needed in credit for security reasons and their attempt was declined I then contacted them again stating my issue and the fact they hadn t done as asked and that I didn t authorise the purchase with their amendments I was then contacted back 2 days later and they d checked and seen it was indeed fine to be shipped registered sal and here is where the issue lies They then decided to charge me nearly 1000 more than the shipping was originally when I ordered 2 items and upon checking a newly placed order would of been even cheaper they never stated this they just went ahead and charged the amount without confirming anything and my complaints are going in answered This is nothing short of fraud theft and anti consumer I ve contacted a Japanese watchdog agency to report them and supplied evidence and I ll be contacting my bank to have a charge back issued I ve had nothing but good things to say about this company over the years but this particular incident has rubbed me the wrong way as I feel like they re just taking advantage of overseas customers
