Digitaka rod shipping expense

[Hogsticker2]

Never ordered form these folks. Web site states 1 piece rods ship for 3,000 yen (25 bucks). Is this accurate, and can I assume I won't have to bend over and grab my ankles after I click submit?

[IAY]

Yup they are very good with their shipping cost.

You are safe. Those guys are great.

[jpmoney]

Yes 3000 JPY is accurate. Digitaka is excellent to deal with!

[Cracker]

This is an unbelievable price!
Try to ship 1 piece rod opposite direction. You will be amazed how expensive international shipping from US!

You are safe. Those guys are great.

Thanks guys. I just find it a bit odd shipping for both a 1 piece and 2 piece are 25 bucks, but if you say it's all good I believe you.

They do a nice job packaging and protecting rods as well.

Well I'm sure they get a discount through which ever carrier they use to be able to ship it at that price. As for the rest of us shipping a rod international it's over $100.

Also look on there page there is a link to a YouTube clip of

You're not gonna get free shipping on a 1-piece rod from Japan unless you get it on eBay (and usually shipping is baked in the price).

$25 is decent, not great but not terrible either.

I don't recall asking for free shipping. Perfectly content paying 25 dollars. 1 piece shipping usually runs in the neighborhood of 60 bucks, thus the reason for my original question.

Ok, I thought from your original post that you were insinuating that you were getting ripped off by accepting this shipping cost; I must have misread (wouldn't be the first time and certainly won't be the last ).

No biggie, we both agree that $25 is a decent price.

$25 is a great price IMHO. BassJP is 10,000yen, around $85 for 1 rod or 2.

Yeah, I decided to go the custom route again. Nothing beats a custom imo. Sometimes I get drawn into the glam and bling of many JDM rods, but I eventually shake it off . Not really in the mood to roll the dice with customs fees either. Thanks for the responses fellas. Digitaka or anyone for that matter never seem to have but a few of the Daiwa Black Label rods in stock, and that's what I was after.
