Dear TK,

Here is a detailed example of what I'm talking
about:

Purchasing directly through Anime World Star

Cel cost                            26000 yen
Shipping                             2000 yen
20% of the ENTIRE total              5200 yen
--------------------------------------------------

Total cost                          33200 yen



Purchasing through a deputy service

Cel cost                            26000 yen
Bank fee ~                            400 yen
Shipping from AWS to deputy service ~ 800 yen  ?
Shipping from deputy service to you  2000 yen
Commission by the deputy service     3000 yen
Japanese sales tax at 5% (of cel)    1350 yen
--------------------------------------------------

Total cost                          33550 yen

so in this instance, you save ~350 yen   $8.25 for
the IPMO and global priority mail envelope (and
this does NOT account for the increase in COD fees
or shipping fees within Japan and such which I
cannot figure out!!).

So, I can FINALLY say, you still save a bit of
money if you go directly to Anime World Star to
order =) IF you don't decide to combine it with
your deputy service accout ;).


Sincerely,

Sonia who loves using Celga ;)!
