The film version of “THE FIRST SLAM DUNK” of “A Man in a Bottle” will be screened in Hong Kong today. With the previous promotion, Hong Kong has sparked another wave of “slam dunk” craze. However, a series of high-quality goods sold in Hong Kong, especially dolls, are not cheap. Some people on the Internet have calculated that they are much more expensive than Japan. In fact, these boutiques are available on the official website in Japan, and now the service of shipping goods from Japan to Hong Kong is convenient, and the delivery only needs to wait for a week at most, which can be another good choice. The following will introduce the operation method of the Japanese official website and how to fill in the form and ship it back to Hong Kong correctly.
Method 1: Fly to Japan to buy locally (nonsense)
The best way to buy the high-quality goods of “A Man in a Bottle” is of course to buy it locally in Japan (nonsense). My colleague went to Japan earlier and bought a set at the original price. See how arrogant he is!
Method 2: Online shopping in Japan
First of all, let’s take a look at the price difference between Japan’s official website and Hong Kong. For example, the most popular SLAM DUNK FIGURE COLLECTION -Shohoku set- doll series, the original official price of the full set is 24,200 yen (regarding HK$1,437), But look at the official price in Hong Kong is HK$2,280. Although buying in Japan needs to be consolidated and shipped in Japan, and you may have to pay an additional 200 to 300 yuan for shipping, some netizens still think that buying on the Japanese official website will be more affordable.

▲If you simply compare the prices of boutiques in Hong Kong and Japan, you may think that online shopping in Japan is more suitable. The picture shows the order form on the Hong Kong official website
In fact, the advantage of buying in Hong Kong is that you can complete the payment procedures in Hong Kong, and you can even buy it on the spot if it is in stock. In addition, it can be seen that some items on the Japanese official website have been sold out, such as bath towels, sports towels, some T-Shirt styles, etc. If you find these in the official Hong Kong store, it may be better than online shopping in Japan. If you go to the Japanese official website to buy, you need to pay for the shopping expenses with a credit card, as well as the transportation expenses and handling fees during the consolidation. After the goods arrive in Japan, you have to do the consolidation yourself. Therefore, the following introduction is for reference only. Readers need to judge all factors by themselves, make the final decision and assume all responsibilities by themselves. Another important thing:
Note: Products with different release dates cannot be paid together (that is, they may need to be shipped separately)
＊Note: Pre-order products with different release dates cannot be placed in the same order, which means that the orders may need to be sent separately. You need to pay attention to the possible increase in your shipping costs, including storage fees, handling fees for re-packaging of goods, etc.
