Having done some research, I think I can do something with relative cheapness for my person and still have it not be complete shit. This should go reasonably!

Damn I had no idea Brazil was so strict.  Is it because of all the drugs coming from surrounding countries?
What? Drugs don't go through customs in any country :V
The system is strict because the government is retarded, all there's to it

I notice for 3 years in a row I got only US citizens. ARE YOU TELLING ME subconsciously to get a US green card or something lol.  (because I much rather be British)
Or that there's way more Americans in this than anyone else ever in this :derp:

I have a question.  I've never ordered from Amiami.com before and I plan on ordering some stuff for my partner and myself.  I noticed it said they only take payments of JPY and that any other currency will be rejected.  I can pay either Paypal or a credit card. However, do I need to do anything else to make sure it's paying in JPY?

Paypal will convert it for you (at a pretty bad rate :V)

Pay directly with the card, credit card companies usually keep a pretty decent conversion rate.

e: Also no you don't have to do anything, if your card is international(is any card -not- international these days?) it'll do everything for you

Visa Electron and MC Electron are not international to be fair, they work for all machines, but not international by definition, consult your local bank before spending. The Electron/Visa Wave, MC Touch or whatever it is that used (with 'for electronic use only' on the card edge)  in East Asian countries tend to get rejected fairly often. It is a random thing as our systems tend to register Electron cards / WAVE cards as bankcards, which are local ATM machine cards. You will also get a notification of proceed, which will slow your order down by about 1 week.

(trust me, I work in a hotel, we have plenty of frustrated Europeans and their fancy new cards being stuck)

AFAIK we have none of those cards in America, guess we're still the best :smug:

Sounds good.  It looks like Discover is going to be more likely to work than Visa.  Thanks for the advice guys.

err... what I am saying is Visa (standard bank issue bank cards) will work more than those fancy smancy *tap and spend* things you see people carry around. those are the Visa Electron and MC Touch. in essence, any Visa (platinum, silver, standard, gold, or plastic will work as long as it is Visa. AFAIK I also recall AmiAmi does not support Unionpay or Diners Club)

Order placed...now here's hoping it gets there in time or at least close to it...  (It's a very long trip for the item, so I'm not sure.  It was listed as having a max delivery date of the 28th which is kinda worrying, but I couldn't find tiem to order til now.)

Well, you're supposed to pick a gift, buy it, and ship it to the person assigned to you :derp:

From the sound of it, people are just ordering things and having them shipped directly to the person they're getting a gift for. Honestly, I don't see how that's a huge issue beyond the fact that it might be less clear to the receiver that this random package from a store is their present.

But that's... pretty much it, really. Or sending from their own places if they wish to. NegaZero apparently fucked that up somehow, though :V

In my defense, I ordered the gifts through multiple sites.

So rather than sending them in multiple packages, I'd rather send it in one. Plus I can't write a nice letter or anything if I don't send it myself.

So yeah, an "error" that would've happened anyway.
