Korean order

[Novalon]

Hi everyone...!

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but can someone help me? I'm trying to order a couple games from Korea but I'm not really sure how...

I've heard there are services I can use...?
Does anyone know about this? Is trustworthy? Or is there a another method?

Thanks!

if all else fails, then try you local carrier. Ask them if they will import an item for you.

Give them the details of the item, pay the price of the item plus shipping rate (plus service charge, if any). And they will import it for you from the said country.

DHL does this, I don't know about other carriers. Call them up and see what item details they will need from you.

OP = spam???!

Anyways, this got me wondering. Is there any site that compares and contrasts packaging of various eroge in Korea, Taiwan, etc. vs U.S., Japan?

I know in U.S. they usually come in Amaray cases just like other DVD games. In Japan they use Super Jewel Box CD cases in foam padding inside flip-open Sierra-sized boxes. (I guess to make you feel the game's worth the $100 you paid for it).

Unfortunately, I haven't seen such a site. However, as far as I can tell, there's no consistent packaging style in Taiwan.

Future-Digi is the only eroge publisher I know of. Their Haruka ni Aogi, Uruwashi no shipped in a thick DVD keep case (maybe the thickness of two standard DVD cases stacked together - the same used for many American games now) with a thin, boxset style slipcover around it. However, Sincerely to You shipped in a heavy-duty cardboard package, roughly 10-15% longer, wider, and thicker than a DVD case. It's the "lift open" kind of box.

T-Time publishes all-ages bishoujo games. I've never purchased their software myself (StarForce!), but the two games I've seen shipped in different packaging styles. One came in a thin cardboard box with the same dimensions as the aforementioned thick keep case. The other came in a large, unwieldy box.

http://hevoluson.blog87.fc2.com/ is an interesting blog that looks at "overseas" versions of eroge, etc.
