This special event is allowed by CDFreaks management
We know that Blu-ray disc player and burner prices have dropped but the blank media price is still relatively high. CDFreaks understands that in order for Blu-ray format to be accepted, there is no other alternative but to lower its price. CDFreaks have formulated a special package just for our members.
If you’re not a member yet, sign up for free here: http://www.cdfreaks.com/signup/
The Background
We have been in contact with one of our member from Japan, ‘nikoneko’, who is willing to help us getting the best Blu-ray media price, up to 20% off his media shop or about 80% MSRP. You can check ‘nikoneko Ya’ store profile here http://myworld.ebay.com/nikonekobaby/ or here.
The Discount
The discount will be simple, if total order for each media type (BD- R, BD-R DL, BD-RE, BD-RE DL) reaches 100 pieces or more (e.q. total order exceeds twenty 5 packs for each type), then we will apply the cheapest price to everyone which is up to 20% off ‘nikoneko ya’ store price. In order to get the special discount, we are currently offering several types of disc in the largest pack size available (in other words the cheapest).
Since the main discount will only apply to a few types of discs and surely some will want other brands, pack sizes, etc. we will also give a 5% discount on anything outside the list to add to your order.
The LIST of the Discounted Items and Prices
We currently offer the most popular brands in Japan: Sony and TDK. Sorry no Verbatim as of now. Again if you see something you want outside this list, take a look at the store profile and include in your order.

[/ul]The Order Process[ol]
[li]This special event will run for approximately two weeks. We will stop taking orders on January 30, 2009 11:59 PM Eastern Time.
[/li][li]You must post your order in this thread!
[/li][li]To help us keep track of your order, please include your username, order quantity, disc type, total weight and shipping option/price in your post.
[/li][li]If you want to change your order during the duration of this special event, please quote your original post and post the changes.
[/li][li]If you want something else outside the list above, take a look at nikoneko store profile and include in your post with all the details.
[/li][li]Again, you must post your order in this thread!
[/li][/ol]When the time is up and order duration have closed, the discount will be finalized and we will send a message to each participating member asking for their paypal address and what type of shipping they prefer (more on this next), and then send each a paypal invoice with the discounted price requesting payment.
Payment
Payment will be by paypal only. It will be direct by paypal invoice from the store account (no ebay or other involved). When an item is paid for it will go into the store system like any other order and processed and dealt with as soon as possible.
Shipping
Shipping price is always a problem when buying an item from Japan or another country outside your own. We will give you as many options as possible to keep that cost as low as possible. First all shipping prices will be based on your order’s total weight. Second we will offer the 3 different common shipping options available to us from the Japan Post. They are:
[ul]
[li]SAL: Surface mail in Japan and your country, airmail in between. This is the slowest method and it will take between 1 to 4 weeks. Generally this is just as reliable and almost as fast as regular airmail but sometimes it does hit that 4 week (or more) time frame and can be a bit of a gamble. It is available on orders up to 2 kg.
[/li][li]Airmail: Air in both countries. Our most common method to ship by far. Cheaper than EMS Express and pretty fast. Airmail usually takes about 5 to 10 days. It is available on orders up to 2 kg.
[/li][li]EMS Express: The best. Safest and fastest. Usually takes about 2 to 5 days. Available on all orders.
[/li][li]EMS Express is fully insured and trackable. For SAL and Airmail, insurance and tracking is available by making it a registered delivery for $4 more.
[/li][/ul]Orders over 2 kg must be shipped EMS. It is also HIGHLY recommended to choose EMS if your order will be over $200 in value.
The Shipping Prices
Shipping price will be based on weight, use the info below to estimate your order total shipping price. Final shipping price will be given at invoice time. Read above for descriptions of the different shipping types.
First how much each type of pack weighs:
[ul]
[li]1 Single disc in a 10mm jewel: 90 g
[/li][li]3 disc pack in 10mm jewels: 270 g
[/li][li]5 disc pack in 5mm jewels: 275 g
[/li][li]10 disc pack in 5mm jewels: 550 g
[/li][li]20 disc pack in 5mm jewels: 1100 g
[/li][li]20 discs in a cake box (spindle): 425 g
[/li][/ul]And then the shipping prices:
