iruiru.com vs tt-japan.net

All,

I ordered from iruiru.com all the time.  They are reliable.  So, have anyone from the US ordered anything from http://tt-japan.net?  If you did, please let me know how they are compare to iruiru.com, thanks!

I recommend Iruru for their great service and the ability to talk with them in english, also their new english site.. slight problem is with the time it take for them to respond, 1-2 days but that is very normal with all sites.

Thanks for your comments guys.  Anyone else?

I always buy from iruiru. They respond to my questions quick.

I order from tt-japan.net all the time. Many many transactions. They are great. Of course I like iruiru too.

tt-japan.net uses paypal, and their website converts the currency in real time. So you know exactly how much you are paying when you check out. That's why I like them better than iruiru. iruiru has more stuff but they only use CC, so that means the currency is not converted right away (not until its processed through the CC company which could be weeks), so it might end up costing more than you thought originally, and on top of that, usually the CC company will charge a fee/percentage for converting the currency.

Also, while both use EMS for shipping and have similar shipping prices, tt-japan's website does a better job at telling you how much your package weighs... And it usually comes out to be a slightly cheaper than iruiru's shipping for similar items. (But both are relatively expensive to ship.)

I like both sites and both are very friendly and professional. Both sites respond to my simple email questions promptly. I recommend both, but tt-japan wins because of paypal.

Just for those who wonder why iruiru has delayed in communication.

Besides, at both of these stores, in the shopping cart area you can make a note of which weight you prefer ("please choose a blade that is 85g") and they will contact you if they don't have that weight.

Thanks for more responses.  I have been dealing with iruiru.com, and it has been very good.  Usually, you stick with the same vendor if they are good.  However, I think I will give tt-japan.net a chance.  I just want to see if there is anything difference or not.  So, I will place another with tt-japan later on tonight.

Again, thank you all for your help.

I've used iruiru many times. Great site.

Bought Nittaku Miyabi and Telion on 05/10/2010 from iruiru.

I used both. IruIru used to be my favorite shop in Japan. But, now it is tt-japan.net. It has better (faster) service and shipping, imo.

so, it's not just me then 

somebody at my club ordered T05 FX from tt-japan.net with success (4800 yen a piece).
as with iruiru, one needs to order enough to justify high shipping cost that is the same up to a certain weight.

tt-japan.  3 days shipping.  paypal.  no foreign currency fees.
