Joko Re-Introduction, YAJ/Akiba Shopping Service Offer (CLOSED as of 8/21/23)

[Joko3]

Control panel x2 ready for a cruise to the land down under. Fair winds and following seas!

Handles removed and placed inside the panels. Air cushions inserted followed by cardboard on bottom, then bubble wrapped. Sides reinforced with extra bubbles and cardboard.

Apologies to all those who have asked, but I can’t/won’t ship 100 yen coins. I can get in trouble for it.

I didn’t even know there was a law against that.

Dang, great work on this one! Is this the biggest thing you've shipped through your service so far?

 

[Joko3]

^ Yep. Slowly but surely moving up to being able to ship even bigger stuff ; )

The hardest part about this one was meeting the maximum allowed dimensions for sea shipping to Australia. I wanted to save this guy money by avoiding two packages, but also wanted to have it well protected.

 

[GeeDee]

Dang, that's a crazy amount of work man. I thought you went above and beyond for me (and you did) but getting two of those packed like that is a hell of a feat. Killer job

First thing on the prohibited items list.

Trying to dig around, but can you send it through registered mail or something?

^ I’ve looked here as well, but it just sends you in one big loop and doesn’t give you the actual information you need. It just says “it depends on each country’s rules” without telling you what each country’s rules are. For now I’m going to say no on this one.

 

[thomas3184]

Haha safe bet.

I asked Japan Post about currency, and after the staff looked up a code book and talked to a manager, the conclusion was a "no." They suggested I take it with me in my luggage on the next trip to the U.S.

 

[Joko3]

^ I can imagine this very scenario happening at my post office.

 

[ekorz]

The good news is that I’ve now got pretty good at explaining our hobby in short and precise Japanese .

爆弾ではない

 

[Joko3]

^ You trying to get me interviewed by the local boys in blue?

 

[Darksoft]

I just got 2 boxes from @Joko3 and I have a hard time deciding which one is packed better Really fantastic job!

Thanks!

 

[tacobell]

Really great packaging. Like super OCD amounts of packing, which is HIGHLY appreciated considering the high ticket items he ships. @Joko3 packs like if it was shipped to him. PERFECT

 

[GeeDee]

posting again since we/I finally got to put it into action: Massive thank you to Joko for not only helping bid on and packing the hell out of this new board, but also going the extra mile to test it out before shipping to set my mind at ease after being burned on two other CPS3 sets when I wasn't going through Joko. Finally got the VS all set up and put my local scene back into action!

(ignore the pandora, its the stores, not mine lmao)

Sadly my axun jamma extractor didn't quite cut the mustard- I got one of the early run models and the video is WAY too washed out to use for tournament, so we weren't able to stream our first session. Looks like im catching the Splitfires at a bad time too. I'll probably make a seperate WTB incase someone has a spare, tho if anyone sees this and happens to have one, please reach out!

 

[Joko3]

CPS2 I/O ready to go to America. Everything individually wrapped and double boxed.

 

[Joko3]

Neo Geo CD shell ready for a boat ride. This was a free item I gave away, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want it to arrive safe and sound : )

 

[Joko3]

Neo CD drive ready to go down under.

 

[reclaimer]

Beautiful.

For the yen coins, I loaded up on a trip to Japan. I wish there was a currency exchange to get them in the US!
