Questions about ordering from Ikebe

1) I can't read japanese
2) I need to know what im buying from and feel safe spending a shitload of cash (see #1)
3) How is the service with Ikebe? Cna you haggle with them? How does the Shipping look? How are the import fees?

thx

They have an English e-mail address for foreign orders. I've never bought from them before so you'd need someone who has to give you their e-mail address or to find it yourself.

I've heard that the service is very good and everyone I know who has purchased from them has been satisfied. No, you can't haggle with them. This is Japan. You'd have more luck walking in to Best Buy or Media Play and seeing the new Unearth CD for $12.99 and saying to the guy at the register, "I'll give you $8 for it. That's my final offer." Ikebe isn't a Zimbabwe or Thai street vendor whose family is starving. They're doing you a favor by sending their guitars all the way to Canada or Europe or whatever. If you aren't happy with their prices, they'll sell the guitar to a Japanese (much less trouble for them) or to a foreigner who wants to pay the listed price.

Shipping is a tad expensive. Roughly US $100. Import fees depend on how much the guitar/product costs. The more expensive the guitar, the more expensive the fees.
