Yea imports in general are more then a domestic cd as always and plus it comes a long way so of course your going to have to pay a little extra for shipping but in my view it's totally worth it. Yesasia is good too but their processing time is ridiculous. I always support my favorite artists and buy their music......... most of the time o_o
Well since I collect and don't like downloading MP3's, I guess you can say I support my artists by purchasing their albums and/or CD's as well.
As for imports, yeah, I know they cost, but having them shipped from Japan can get a little too expensive. CD Japan has some nice stuff and I'll probably do some more business with them, but only If I can't find what I'm looking for locally; Which is why I got that one CD from them.
And speaking of local, I just purchase two more Weather Report (Import) CD's from CD Universe. The combined total of those two, including shipping, is only $15 dollars more than the one CD I got from CD Japan. Not bad at all :)
Ironically both of the CD's are listed on CD Japan's website as out of print. Hmmm….
