    Ordering from overseas?

    Can anyone tell me about an average time to get orders placed with overseas companies? Japan to be specific.

    I've ordered a couple times. Shipping was about like domestic. I know I have waited a long time for stuff off certain eBay sellers sites. But they say how long it will take. I really think it makes a difference who you're ordering from.

    If you order from Japan lure shop then it's about the same time or faster than it would take if you order from the states. I usually get my order from Japan lure shop under 5 days, my last order was about a week ago and from the time I placed the order to the time I received it was 4 days.

    Typically I receive orders in less than a week. My current order is extended due to Japan being on a national holiday

    4-5 days through EMS, but just plain postage can take a few weeks.

    Japan lure shop always gives a nice little gift with purchase. You do have to sign for the package

    If you order from Digitaka , you get free shipping and generally their prices are cheaper than other jdm sites.
    You pay what you see on the site , no hidden fees.

    last year a guy i worked with ordered a set of small spoons for trout fishing from wish.com (china) if im not mistaken he kept telling me he got the best deal and the whole set was only 5.00 shipped out. It was literally 4 months before they arrived to him lol! he had forgotten he even ordered them.

    I have literally received an order within days from Japan without upgraded shipping etc. Some dealers have crazy fast shipping. They are great at updates too.

    I know literally emailed me every step of the shipment and threw in a jackhammer chatterbait! I thought it would be a cheap bait or something so that was awesome
