Hi! I preorder from the Sony Music Japan store. 1) JYP Japan store also lets you order and I think offers a shipping service as well (I have recipes for Shopee). I got myself Dwekki from there (4months for having it shipped) and imo a lot of extra costs but not too terrible. 2)Since I no longer live in Japan, I have it shipped to my friend who ships it to me. I am still a member of the fan club so I get prior notice of new stuff but the preorders happen at the same time to all customers so you don't really need to be a member for that. If you still want to get pre-ordered stuff you can go to Amazon Japan or Rakuten, there are people who bulk buy and sit on it. I got a Levantier limited edition last year for a reasonable-ish price. You can also use shopping-services who buy stuff for you from Mercari (kind of like eBay?). Japanese editions have lottery tickets inside, which I remove before my unboxings, for fan calls, fan meets or signed pictures. That means Japanese fans buy a lot for a chance to win. It's easy to get the albums after. I guess it wouldn't work with the "Your name on the box" but yeah, there's definitely a secondary market, if you don't want to order from the known kpop stores in the west who want an arm and a leg for it
Thank you for sharing! :)
How were you able to preorder and have it sent to you?
