I want to buy a book that is about $58 new on Amazon.com, $50ish through used sellers. The price on Amazon.jp is about $56 for used copies, much more for new copies. I found the book only at a very inflated price at Whatthebook.com in Korea (about $100). Will there be a huge difference in shipping to Korea between Japan and the US? I have an Amazon gift certificate for $100 that I'd like to use. (One problem with the Japanese site is that the section of it I want to use- ordering from used sellers- doesn't seem to have an English option).
Thanks! |

| I don't know about Amazon.jp, but I ordered a few books from Amazon.com and had a mixed experience. When I initially ordered I decided to just do the basic shipping (I'm cheap), this was a huge mistake. Basically they never came and it took me like 3 months to get it straightened out. When I eventually got the refund Amazon just told me to order again with the upgraded shipping (which they paid for) and my books came in like a week. A guy in Korea even called me to confirm my location, he spoke great English. Good luck. |

sometimes Amazon.jp wont ship outside Japan.
If not, your stuff should arrive within a day or two.
Edit: you could try this website if they don't ship directly to Korea
