As already seen in http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/84605 Rakuten is sort of like an Amazon store for Japan, they have all sorts of things. Most products are shipped to Japan only but forwarding service to overseas is available. The forwarding service is now offered at 1000yen. Unlike the last promotion, this offer can be used for any products.

        Yes. The infection innocently starts with a camera. Next you'll start buying lenses, flashes, modifiers, tripods, monopods, triggers, umbrellas, stands, then more lenses. Then you'll upgrade your body.

        This is only the beginning!

    • deepdag on 25/03/2013 - 08:51

      topbuy.com.au has better deals on Cameras than this site. Plus their warranty is cheaper & local compared to Kogan. BTW, I've not used them but looking to buy one from 'Topbuy.com.au' If someone could give feedback that positive or negative that would be much help.

      I'm also confused.

      • KingBoo on 24/03/2013 - 14:44

        depends on the reseller I think.
        Some charge domestic shipping to get the stuff to Tenso.
        Then Tenso would charge on top of that.

      • joshk on 25/03/2013 - 00:19

          +2

          No, you don't need to make a second purchase. You don't use the coupon when you purchase the item; you use it when you pay for Tenso's mail forwarding service.
          So you buy something on Rakuten, using your Tenso address as the delivery address. You have to pay for the item(s) and shipping within Japan, which may be free depending on the store.
          The seller on Rakuten will send the package to Tenso. Then Tenso will charge you a fee for handling and international shipping to send the item to you in Australia. That's what you use the coupon for.
          So it doesn't matter that the coupon arrives after the purchase. You will get the coupon before your package arrives at Tenso, so it will be ready to use by the time you have to pay for international shipping.

    • WHL on 25/03/2013 - 14:53

      I ordered and got a reply email already. The shop (collect for the Jap Gov) will charge you 5% sales tax. And that shop doesn't accept credit card, therefore you have to do a overseas bank TT. The shop charges you an overseas bank transfer fee of about A$70…. too much cost and hassle. I just canceled my order.

  • cantstanzya on 25/03/2013 - 21:19

    This is confusing as hell.
    It seems as if I have to purchase something from Rakuten before I find out how much I will be charged by Tenso.
    Is this the case?
    I don't want to buy something only to find my saving have been sucked up by Tenso or to find there is a problem with the deal and have my product be used as ransom due to already laying down the money for it on Rakuten.

    • Elliot on 25/03/2013 - 23:28

      You can see all of Tenso's fees on their website. If it's just a single package, you can use the 'calculation tool' at the bottom of the Tenso homepage to work out the shipping and handling fee (not including the coupon). If you get multiple packages then there's a consolidation fee as well, which you can find on their website. The coupon reduces the shipping component to ￥1000, with a maximum discount of ￥4000.
      The only uncertainty is the weight of the package. Sometimes it can be hard to predict if something is going to be, say, just under 3kg or just over. Not much you can do about that.

      But it's a valid point about what happens if something goes wrong with the deal. You've already bought the goods, so you're basically stuck paying whatever Tenso asks.
      They're a reputable company, so I'm sure they're not going to try and scam people out of a few thousand yen. But obviously you should be careful that you don't leave your purchase too late and miss the deadline or something like that.

      • cantstanzya on 26/03/2013 - 22:38

        Hey thanks for replying Elliot and making some sense out of it all.
        Confidence level is greater today.

        I thought I would take the gamble and place an order last night with a shop on Rakuten. Somehow Tenso have been notified and sent the coupon code to my email today. It is valid for a couple of week I believe.

        This has all happened with no money down. The shop on Rakuten is yet to contact me for confirmation and payment.

        So it's a strange system, but I thought I would let others know how the precess has worked out for me so far.

  • obses2ion on 10/04/2013 - 23:24

    Hey there, any chance yasui (or anyone else) can confirm where the above 'campaign details' came from - an e-mail perhaps? Fingers crossed, as Tenso and the website have both told me that the campaign finished at 9:50 AM Japan time, not PM. Screwed me over a bit, I reckon.
