Can someone remind me how to navigate Kapital’s insane website? What option from the menu do I choose to see products separated by category instead of the slowest look book ever?

I've found that fashionship dot jp has some of the best Kapital prices online and a much more easy to navigate website. Also they'll ship outside of Japan which I don't think Kaptial's webshop will do (but then again I can't read Japanese, so maybe it does).

Is that site legit? I can't put my finger on it but it looks kind of suspect.

Just in case not a good idea to buy from Japan right now. Since there are few flights after the large ban list (which caused me to basically lose my job!) Packages are gonna take several months if they aren't just envelopes.

I think they have to do like UPS or FedEx which pumps up the shipping cost considerably over EMS and it might still take a long ass time.

Well I have an incoming order so I'll let you know. Did a little looking into it and it seems like it's a new storefront for Japeral which had a good reputation for selling Bape.

I've had a number of Japanese orders from eBay canceled for this exact reason. EMS is essentially stopped and airfreight costs have sky rocketed.

I ordered two pairs of jeans from Okayama on Wednesday and they are being delivered today (Friday) so DHL two-day is still shipping and Okayama has free shipping so it came in faster than stuff I ordered from California.

Yeah carriers like DHL/FedEx/UPS will probably be fine but I'm surprised that prices for those services aren't increasing in price. I wonder if proxy services are moving as normal.

So my fashionship order was delayed a bit but then they had a message out saying they got a contract out with DHL and that things would be getting out starting May 7th. Then my order went out via DHL from Tokyo on the 7th and should be here monday, which is pretty quick given all that's going on. We'll see how long it actually takes to show up.

Just an update on my fashionship fashionshipment -- came in today and seems legit to my untrained eye (can't tell the difference between tags, etc, and all my other kapital):
