I am located in Italy, and the Japanese bookstore I used to buy from stopped shipping overseas, while Japan Post raised their shipping rates, so I decided to use Amazon Japan though I'm not a fan of Amazon in general (I think we should support small businesses).The shipping was very fast (It took only 3 days from Japan to Italy), but I was shocked to find that the 3 books I bought had been shipped without much protection, so they could have been easily damaged. Usually everything I buy from Japan is super protected with cardboard and bubble-wrap... but not Amazon Japan!I was lucky that that the packet was well handled by the courier, but it was really a matter of luck. So keep it in mind if you buy delicate items...
