Constellation161 Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 I'm looking to buy a record from Soundfinder in Japan, anyone had any dealings from them or any others dealers over there.
Steve Foran Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Yes I bought a big want from Japan. Record in perfect order. AND it only took 3 working days to get here. Incredible!
Homage Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 I buy from Japanese dealers on the usual selling sites, and also from a couple of the shops every couple of months. To date always smooth transactions, and the records are always exactly as described condition wise. Mark
Paul Quinn Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 I have bought from Japan had no problem at all , think my record arrived within a week ?
Windlesoul Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Flynny (Anorak Corner) provides an excellent service from Tokyo, and the courier service he uses is phenomenal.
Billy Jo Jim Bob Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Had lots off eBay from Japan and sold to Japan as well. Never a problem.
Tailormade Gaz B Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Flynny (Anorak Corner) provides an excellent service from Tokyo, and the courier service he uses is phenomenal. Agreed- I got a record from him last Xmas and it arrived within a week.
Spacehopper Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 yep again from flynny more than once and always less than week....and less than some royal mail!
Garswood Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 I've had records and DVDs from Japan and always been excellent service, great communication and usually arrived within a week. Some U.S./UK sellers could learn a thing or two from them.
Jordirip Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 I can only echoe what's been said. Always great condition,, fast postal service and always excellent packaging.
Mal C Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Ive also bought tons from Japan, I have to say they are all great guys over there, and when it comes to condition, every 45 I've ever bought has been very minty... fast quality service...is std in Japan pretty much I think.. m:_))
Guest Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Good evening from Tokyo! Can only echo what has been said above...the chances of being ripped off by someone based here is low...it is simply not within the culture to do something so low! EMS couriers is an exclusive Japan Post service...never a problem. Just one thing to note - the Soundfinder site lists stock from other shops...and not all the actual shops can communicate clearly in English or may not even send abroad due to communication and/or preferred payment options.
Jerry Hipkiss Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) Never had a problem with Anoraks Corner - he brings the records round personally every Christmas...only trouble is he takes them back with him after a cuppa! Evening Son! Edited May 20, 2015 by Jerry Hipkiss
Constellation161 Posted May 21, 2015 Author Posted May 21, 2015 Thanks everyone for your comments (all positive) record ordered, 2090 yen sounds a lot works out to £11 some odd, well pleased. Mick Perrins.
Carty Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Just had a rocksteady 45 arrive this morning from Japan , have had several over time , all been fine , usually take about a week to arrive , postage usually between 6 - 7 quid , can recommend Ninja Records for 60,s and 70s blubeat , ska, early reggae etc .
Soulcarp Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 I can only say from experience,buy records from Japan is the most satisfying experience I've ever incounted in all the years I've been collecting,that's grading and speed of delivery,that puts how're postal service to shame. Johno
Benji Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Soulcarp, spot on. Condition of the record, service, packing, delivery. Everything top!

Whiskyagogo Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 I bought from Japan off Flynny postage to Aussie [not far I know]all good!
Guest Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Record arrived today in excellent condition, took only 7 days from ordering to receiving. Fantastic service. 7 days...that's terrible...should've been 4 or less!
Jason S Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) Just bought from Japan an hour ago. I'm half expecting the record to arrive yesterday. Edited May 28, 2015 by Jason S 1
Constellation161 Posted May 28, 2015 Author Posted May 28, 2015 7 days...that's terrible...should've been 4 or less! Included the weekend. Mick Perrins
Weego Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 With Japan sellers expect to receive the best service possible: speedy delivery & very accurate record grading. As a mint crazy collector I've never been deceived when buying from japanese guys. 1
Guest irishpip Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Have to echo earlier comments, have bought from Flynny - excellent service and very fast shipping.
