    Gargamel Bank Transfers
    Hey there,

    Just wanted some quick information regarding Gargamel purchases.

    I bought my first bit from them yesterday and from what I can gather with crappy translation websites is that I have to bank transfer the amount to them and then they'll send the piece after. Is this correct?

    Im in Australia and it costs my about $20 to do an international bank transfer which takes my $60 purchase up to $80. Do they accept any other forms of payment that won't cost me an additional $20 ?

    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks board,

    D

    Honestly it's probably cheaper for you to pay a middleman company to buy stuff off their website- or just buy it from someone in the U.S. as suggested above. Even if you can do a bank transfer, you are then looking at about $40 in addition to the item price (w/ EMS shipping).

    If you can convince them to accept Paypal, that would be interesting.

    In japan it is quite regular to pay by "furikome" (bank transfer) for domestic only. I highly doubt this is for international ordering.

    Hmmmmm, maybe I am wrong afterall. If it works out that is great! Gargamel is worth the time spent getting it that's for sure. :)

    Gargamel Online does not accept international orders. That's why the site is only in Japanese. For regular releases, you'll have to go through Super7 and Super7 distro shops. For questions, contact english info: english_info@gargamel.jp

    there are third party sites out there that will charge you extra but buy from almost any Japan site and then have it shipped to thier warehouse. Then the warehouse will ship it to you. So if you reallllly wanted something you can go that route.
