Are our Prices the Cheapest?

We believe in offering Fair Prices that can sustain a Responsible Business. We believe our prices are not the highest, and probably not the lowest.

But, should price be your only concern?

Is the seller a responsible business you can trust? Are the products genuine with warranty? Did the seller opened up the product, played with it, re-packed, and sold to you as new? Can you trust them with your payment? Will they pack properly and send your parcel with the correct documentation? Do they have stock? How fast can they send out? How are the delivery and payment options? Will they help you with warranty repair?

How much time have you spent shopping? How much is an hour of your time? If you believe our prices are fair and you feel you can trust us, is it not wiser to buy from us now :) ?

Why do our Prices go Up and Down?

• Price adjustments
• Your currency's exchange rate to Japanese Yen

Like most stores, prices are sometimes adjusted up when a product becomes limited in supply, or adjusted down as cost prices fall.

But, the main reason is your currency exchange rate to Yen.

Bluetin.com Japan buys from Japanese distributors in Yen. When there is a change in your currency's exchange rate to Yen, we will update our prices. This can be good or bad for you, depending if your currency became stronger or weaker against Yen. There is no fix time when the update is made. We monitor the currencies market closely, and will update when necessary.

The exchange rate we use is slightly in our favor, ie. lower, than a Japanese bank's buying rate. This is in case your currency weaken further during the sales process, before we have a chance to exchange it into Yen.

The better (higher) rate you see on your local paper or TV may be either selling rate, or an average of buy and sell rate. Those do not apply in our case, as only our Japanese bank's buying rate matters. Buying rate is how much a bank will offer in order to buy 1 unit of your currency. Confused?
