ikebe gakki?

[trianglebiscuit]

is there anyway i can place and order with them and ship it back?

i remember a thread back then which stated how ikebe doesnt entertain int. orders, but the HC boards claim otherwise.

any experiences? they seem to be only shop that stocks what i want.

Is it using V-post ( can't remember the name )

Where you sign up and get a japanese address, ikebe will send to that

local address and that address will ship it for you.

They do ship international. I just emailed them few days back..
but they dont accept credit card or paypal. Only bank transfer. Their price is slight cheaper compare to ishibashi IMHO..

they do not accept credit cards? r u sure?

 

[trianglebiscuit]

ive heard that too, only bank transfer or something.

they seem cheaper, but after international charges are factored in its about the same as ishibashi
