Shopping mall japan closing down....

[penrhos]

Thought something was wrong when the bidding system went offline on xmas-eve.

Now if you try and bid on anything you get a message informing you to pay for and ship all items ASAP.

I've just shipped my last batch of pcb's and a pce duo-r back. They have £100 deposit so I hope that'll be refunded shortly.

Some people are already getting deposit refunds so looks like SMJ is going for good.

Thanks for the heads up, I've asked them to refund my deposit. I haven't used them in years anyway.

Just setup an account with FromJapan hopefully I can keep my YAJ addiction going...

They must have so much money in deposits. I’ve had $90 I’ve left there and I’ve not used them in years.

I have used from Japan just once so far but all went well, and you can pay with paypal so no need to leave a deposit

Just got my deposit refunded in full.

All items are showing "Shipped", they used SAL for the last two PCB's I had in SMJ-storage and they turned up today.

Just have one package outstanding but was surface mailed to the UK so won't arrive for at least another 3 weeks - was shipped before the issues over Xmas and tracking works so I'm good.

Still not managed to win any auctions with "FromJapan" so can't say if they're any good.
