[Review] Tenso package with nano goods and Animate order



Hi! My first Tenso package with nano goods and Animate posters came!!!
Tenso is a forwarding service. It's different from a buying service. A forwarding service is a lot cheaper than a buying service because you're the one buying the items. Tenso only forwards the package to you. So if you have any problems with the seller, you're the one responsible to solve it.

How it works on Tenso: (For more detailed instructions, please refer to Tenso.com)

- You sign up on Tenso
- They give you their warehouse address along with your identification code
- You go on the website you want to purchase your stuff
- Add to cart your stuff
- When you'll check out, put the address Tenso provided to you along with your identification code in the address line
- Pay with your own credit card (Most shops accept major bank cards like VISA, Mastercard, etc.)
- Wait it get shipped to the warehouse

- Tenso gets the package and tells you to pay for the service fee and the international shipping fee
- Tenso ships the package as soon as they get your payment
- ?
- Enjoy!






The service is awesome, awesome, AWESOME! 

It's very easy to use and Tenso's service is impeccable. The only thing I didn't like is their packaging. I mean, I thought they would use a tube to ship my posters and just put the nano goods in it. Instead, they used a HUGE BOX. So yeah, but the posters were in a perfect condition.
When I opened the package, it seemed like I only bought those bubble cushions because posters, well, are flat and the nano goods were really small. lol

Tenso also includes the receipts from the shops I bought. One from Animate and the other from nano.

Aomine!! >>>>> 









So yeah, here are the posters I bought. There are 4. The other one is a group poster.
I present Aomine, Kuroko and Kise!!!!! :D I'm missing Kagami and Midorima, but I don't like them as much as I like this trio. They come wrapped in a plastic bag. The posters are light and made with high quality PP plastic. The colours are superb. -thumbs up- (Each poster costed 473 yen for a total of 1829 yen for 4 posters + 500yen domestic shipping in Japan) Produced by Movic.



Next are the nano goods! I was literally squealing when I saw them!!!!
Though, it smelled a bit of strong plastic, the goods are so cute! (Well...cute, lol)
I'll treasure them for the rest of my life!
So far, I have a button pin of an acoustic guitar nano from the No Pain, No Game first press CD, the first nano good (a phonestrap) included in the nanoir CD first press and what you see below! Since I don't live in Japan, it's hard for me to acquire the whole collection of the button pins and those calendars. There was this collab with a cafe in Japan that featured nano drinks for about 500 yen. I was soooooo envious!!!
Hmmmmm.....one day, for sure, I'll go to Japan!



Here's the fourth poster of KuroBasu!!!!
Look at the bishies. ;D
Kuroko kinda has the position to sit between/next to/on the legs of those 4 guys,
LOL. KUROKO UKE. wwww.



My next post will be on the Remember your Color live CD of nano which will be out on June 6th, but I'll get it near the end of the month along with the Murasakibara/Akashi collection glass.

So, yep yep, see you at the end of the month of June!

Please look forward to my next post!

[Review] Packages from entertainment-japan

Hi! Nagisa here (again)!
I haven't posted anything lately (except the KuroBaso 211 tiny summary) since I've been very busy with finals and stuff. I still have 6 weeks of school before finishing. ughas;fda;lsa finals...
So yep, I ordered a poster of Murasakibara and Akashi from entertainment-japan and I'm here to review about their service. (or actually his service since it's one person) Okitacchi also ordered a [K] Project artbook from entertainment-japan. 

First of all, here are the pictures of my package!

                             

The poster was packaged safely in a tube. The tube itself was very solid and taped securely. The shipping was faster than I expected. It arrived in 8 days when it said 10-14 days! (I live in Canada, btw.) The poster wasn't damaged, the seller put it in a bigger plastic bag despite already having one! So, basically, two plastic bags to protect the...plastic poster. Yes, it is made of high quality PP and the colours are fabulous.

Animate's details:
Price: 473 yen
Dimensions: 11.7 x 16.5 inches // A3
Material: high quality PP, full coloured
Produced by Movic
Featuring Murasakibara Atsushi and Akashi Seijuurou

Personal experience: The seller, Nakagawa-san, has probably the best online service. I've been shopping on the net since 2009, done over 120 transactions and really, I believe he is the most dedicated. He answered to my questions fully and very quickly and made sure I got my package. Really, excellent service. He is also very polite and humble. I recommend him.
This is his eBay profile: http://myworld.ebay.ca/entertainment-japan?ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:CA:1181

Oh, btw, I got the poster for 12$USD. It was an auction.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are the pictures of the item from Okitacchi's order from entertainment-japan!
Okitacchi ordered the [K] Project animation book from episode 1 to 6.
Again, it was Nakagawa-san that took care of his package. The parcel was solid. When he opened it, newspaper, bubble wrap, plastic bags was all in there to protect the artbook! Nakagawa-san also took some time to write a letter and included teabags to try out!





 Overall, the book is very interesting with over 250 pages of animation sheets used to make 6 episodes. The only down is the book is fragile. The cover is really thin. It's the same thickness as the pages. The pages are glossed matte and are the perfect thickness. Just the cover...just the cover... XD
But then again, despite that, this book is worth your money, especially if you're of fan of this anime/manga!



Animate's details:
Price: 2940 yen
Dimensions: 8.3 x 11.17 inches // A4
300 pages

---------------------------------------------------

A big thanks to the seller, Nakagawa-san of entertainment-japan for his awesome service!
