I won’t do this right now, but thanks! And will do, thank you!
I’ll do it, I found a way to drag and drop
@Megumin your purchases were a success. Now we wait for their approval or denial
sorry for the ping guys, but you are the only other people I know who might potentially use amazon.de. If you do have any purchases planned, can you please use a natively link (for example: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/香月美夜-ebook/dp/B00TKIAMYW/ref=nosim?tag=natively02-21) to start your purchase?
I currently have nothing I need to buy.
With some luck before Black Friday you get the OK
Maybe I missed it somewhere, but what makes something ‘recommended’? I see this on the providers page:
I see it’s not on providers that I think fit that criteria like Honto, audiobook.jp, and Rakuten while it is on Amazon JP which does not make it easy to buy books internationally.
Probably depends by region? For me Amazon JP is the easiest and cheapest way to buy books internationally.
This is just me marking it as such. I’m open to changing.
I will say though that my experience was similar to @Megumin … i found Amazon quite easy and intuitive as it’s Amazon.
I’d also not mark anything ‘recommended’ without a description and general buy-in from a few folks here.
Rakuten doesn’t have any notes. And Honto has notes which are negative towards international shipping. I do not have any experience with them however.
Honto used to calculate shipping costs in a separate second payment, making it less than ideal. Not sure if it changed, I haven’t used them in ages. I think now they force you through a proxy service?
Edit (yes, they do):
Yes, honto is terrible for international physical book purchases now because you end up paying both Japanese and your local sales tax, due to the proxy service. Before that it was pretty good if you didn’t mind not knowing the exact shipping costs in advance. I wouldn’t want to mark it “recommended” personally.
The single ‘recommended’ tag doesn’t have a way to distinguish “we like this seller for physical international book orders, but their ebook setup is bad” and “we like this seller for ebook orders, but don’t use them for physical book buying”, which might lead to disagreement over whether some places are good enough to recommend, I suspect.
we actually can as we list them separately
Like Amazon vs Amazon Kindle. We do have Honto & Honto eBook
Whoops, we’re good then
Anyway, I am also in the “Amazon JP was easy to buy physical books from” category – have done it multiple times for shipping to the UK with no issues. Only reason I’m tending towards cdjapan recently is that since the latter reduced their shipping fees they now come in cheaper than Amazon for delivery more often, plus Amazon’s packing is not great and occasionally books get a bit scuffed up in transit. No experience with their ebook side.
Meanwhile Amazon has shut down my account within minutes both times I tried to buy ebooks using the guides online of how to get around their region locking
I’ve only ever used Honto for ebooks - no opinion on their physical book shipping. So yes - some sites are good for one thing, but not others and it’s not really specified.
Unless I’m missing something, Amazon Kindle JP doesn’t have the ‘recommended’ tag, though – your screenshot is of the provider listing for the print books, hence the ‘print’ tag and no ‘ebook’ tag.
for ebooks, I’d recommend bookwalker over kindle any day. Their coin-back stuff and deals are OP and they don’t make you pay taxes, if you are an international customer.
The only thing that makes kindle superior, is that a.) Brandon can get some monies and b.) you can - albeit not TOS conform - liberate your books very easily.
Ah, in which case the UI needs to fix to clarify - I only went to the main Book Providers page because I saw this on a book page and was trying to determine what ‘recommended’ was and it still didn’t feel clear. If Amazon JP doesn’t say “print only” (it says print
in greyed out lettering which to me = ‘you can’t get print’) I assume it’s for ebooks.
I (hopefully) made a purchase of a couple products on Amazon de coming from an affiliate link. Let me know if they go through or not, what with Christmas coming up I’m sure I could find a couple more things.
Took me a while, but I finally made three amazon.co.uk purchases. Hope they help!
@brandon I’m guessing they didn’t approve .es affiliate status ? Black friday starts tomorrow, and while I’m trying to not spend much, maybe some purchases will be made
