Buying A Cartridge Direct From Japan

I would say the Japanese are more trustworthy than most the people on audiogon. A lot of Japanese companies will not take your US credit card and/or ship to a US address. Shipping is cheap and quick though. I just got a huge box sent here for $25 in 5 days. It would have cost me more than that within the US!

2juki is reputable even if he is in China. I will never buy direct from there again though after recently being ripped off.

I don't care from which country the cart that I am looking
for is posted. My own listings are always worldwide. I am
cheated 'only' twice by sellers from Germany. They don't
like paypal ( fees?) so one need to pay via bank-transfer.
But there is no protection by bank-transfer. Many Germans
however limit their shipping to Germany believing that
only the Germans are trustworthy. Those are prejudices
based on assumptions or some bad experience with some
sellers from some countries. Well in 'contradiction' to
my own experience the most items I have bought in Germany.
The same prejudice I see regular by the British and American
sellers on ebay. Are all Americans with God knows which origin
trustworhty and all other 'countries' untrustworthy?

I've used 2juki (ebay) for a new cartridge. Very happy with my purchase. He offered a week or two return option then, but not sure if he still does now.

Have bought from 2Juki several times- have never been disappointed.

Good Listening
