New shipping rules from Japan to US (Nov.17th)

So does this mean shipping costs go up and delivery time is longer?

From what's being said it seems all is back to normal.

In other words, yeah, it will cost more and take longer.

This is going to shut their doors

How did you know?
Rising Stuff is closing!
-Not sure if it had to do with the temporary rules applied to shipping weight......But I just looked for some games on their website and it says they (RisingStuff Store) are closing the store at end of January . That sucks! I never had a chance to order from them . Actually... some of the games look like they are marked down and actually almost a fair price if you order before end of January.

Just figured it would. But with the ban lifted they are still shutting down looks like.

They shut down cause they didn't have the time to run the store.

I haven't noticed an issue with Japan post yet. It's the UK that's gotten hit hard by delays for me.

Japan shipping is back to normal now 1/20/2011. It was a temporary thing that was delaying and restricting things for about a month or so around Christmas time.
