It's so weird how electronics are so much more expensive in Japan. Crazy how a laptop or something was made in Japan, shipped to America, bought by me, and shipped all the way back to Japan...all at a cheaper price that me just buying it here in Japan. I had my friend bring a laptop for me from the USA, that way I didn't have to pay for the return to Japan shipping.
Yeah, and if the electronics cost over a certain amount it will get taxed quite a lot. To the point where if you want to build a new good gaming/streaming pc it might be cheaper to pay for airfare, go to the states, buy the parts, put it together and fly back to Japan.
Really helpful, thanks!
