Where can I get Japanese magazines subscriptions at a cheaper price?
I want subscriptions to Vivi, Non-no, Seventeen (Japan), Kera, Fruits, and CanCam. Through CdJapan and Magazinecafestore these subscriptions are expensive, mainly just because of the shipping. How or where can I get these cheaper? Yes i’ve already check out myjpop.com I don’t like it.
Thanks!
Your question was missing a lot of important information.
I’m going to make the assumption that you are talking about subscribing from overseas. You mentioned shipping, but this did not clearly describe whether this is international or Japanese-domestic.
If that is the case (overseas), you will generally find the most economical way to subscribe to a Japanese magazine is through a local Japanese grocery store. They ship each week’s magazines as a single batch in a crate, and thus shipping costs are greatly reduced. Anyone who is Japanese-literate in your local community should know about this. I recommend just talking to Japanese-literate people in your local area, and they likely can point out who is doing this in your area. Alternatively, just phone the nearest Japanese grocery or book stores.
