Buying A Cartridge Direct From Japan


Seems like there can be some decent savings when buying certain cartridges directly from Japan, vs buying from here in the US. Since I'm just learning about cartridges, would there be any kind of difference between a Japan model and a US model, maybe electrically or something, that would prevent using a Japan model here in the US? I would think they would be exactly the same, but I want to be sure before I maybe do anything. Thanks.

Really........Schubert "For any American kettle to call any others countries pot black is the very acme of hubris." Hubris I like that.

Hubris: In ancient Greek, hubris referred to actions that shamed and humiliated the victim for the pleasure or gratification of the abuser. The term had a strong sexual connotation. In Greek literature, hubris usually refers to infractions by mortals against other mortals. Therefore, it is now generally agreed that the Greeks did not generally think of hubris as a religious matter, still less that it was normally punished by the gods.

As a direct nemesis and in a very Japanese way of thinking I say shame, shame, shame on you Japan.
Hello Brf,

And so because Van Del Hull doesn't want to be bothered with answering questions pertaining to 'his' business, we the buying public have to pay someone else to do it for him. Why Should it not be him that pays for the privilege of not being bothered!

Griffithds, it’s the business model that vdh selected, they are a wholesaler and rely on their distribution channels to deal with the end user.

Sure vdh could bring the customer service in-house to answer general inquiries, sales fulfillment etc, but his prices would need to be increased to cover off additional staff and over head.
Brf,

I guess i missed the boat on that one. I should have been charging people who had to deal with my secretary in my behalf (because I didn't want to be bothered)!
Griffihds, I assume your fees structure incorporates some level of customer interaction. When you get your car serviced do you take it direct to the manufacture or one of their authorized dealerships?
