Holy moly, really only four left? I still wait for 240. Me and a friend of mine have the same problem with orders from CDJapan. We both live in Germany, his order (which was shipped four days after mine) is currently at the airport waiting to be checked and mine probably too. It's been on the way for four weeks now!

wow only 4 preorders left for seb 241 on cdjapan? crazy if so since it's a month til it gets released, and I guess we don't have an official tracklist yet either?

Gotta show the love! Now, If only they would report the pre-order sales data back to Avex, and where the order is being shipped to.

Don't choose the most expensive shipment method and first of all mark a package as "Gift" while ordering. Then you will skip customs controls very faster.

Since I was charged once the tax, because seller wrote in the customs declaration the real big price and used for 1 CD a big cardboard box (what for?), he had to refund me 20 $ and I remind everybody "Mark the letter as a gift and don't write more than 10-15 $."

Sorry, but that's a very bad trick! D:

Marking the order as a gift is exactly what I did a few years ago to avoid additionel fees. However, each package needs to have a price tag. I had to send my order confirmation and the PayPal bill to the post office so they could check if it's really that specific package.
The total bill was 19% of the order + 0,50 Euros per day they had my package there.

Some shops only write "21 Euro" as price on their package, no matter what's the real worth of it. All orders up to 22 Euros are free of charge, that's why. CDJapan doesn't do this, thats why I tried that gift trick.


Also, I currently choose Air Mail as shipment of choice. I used SAL for five years because it was cheap and two years ago, it was really fast! But later the shipment time became longer and I switched to Air Mail because - and I don't know why - the package doesn't get checked at custom controls. I didn't pay a single fee cent for orders over 60 Euros!
It's the first time it lasts that long.
My friend chose Registered Air Mail, so he could tell me that his order (and mine probably too) still is at the custom office.

You're from Germany, I'm from Poland, 7 days is the standard time almost never exceeded, no matter how we count, when was shipped, from weekend or from the middle of a week.

To each private seller you can send a message and make sure he won't expose you to the costs.

His fault - refund the tax.

All kind of parcels are by airmail. Japan Post decides when it leaves the country, no whether it has SAL or another designation, registered tracking number as well. EMS should be for a rule faster, but I also got that type of packs once after 7 days. The reason was too long customs check and maybe minutes, single hours between next post sorting centres. The way of letters, packages is complicated, Poland as Germany have big area.

Confirmed for 241. :)

2 pre-orders left, let me one the time i get my school aid
(tomorrow or 29th)

If there's still a copy left until 30th September it's mine. But I waited so long for 240, it would maybe make no difference at all. D:

Heh. I might bite But I need my "monthly paycheck" to come around before I order anything. I absolutely hate CDJapan's billing system. It's the only thing bad abount it.

Kaioh and Silvio Rondelli worked last days on new Go Go's production, so highly probable that Leo River is continued. Today was vocal session of this "speed" track. Photos from Ritmo & Blu Studio on Facebook.

Futura also boasted with headphones about recording some Eurobeat news.

They all have enough time for SEB 241 or everything for next time?

According to SCP's Facebook, Seastar is in studio recording another track!

More than likely, it will be SEB 242...in Feb 2017...I'm sure 241 is already wrapped up, but you never know!

I say skip those dumb end of year albums and keep on with regular albums. Once they went to one cd for end of the year it didn't feel worth it to buy them anymore.

I don't know why they haven't double packaged these yearly Best Of's...They've double released volumes in the past with a non-stop mix (175, 182, 185, etc.) I would rather pay the $10 extra for a Double release than wait 4 months.

Also, if the yearly Best Of's are going to be like 2015...then ya, don't bother. But if they're going to be like 240, then keep em' coming!
