Japonica Review ^^

My other recent purchase was also a first for me...My friend & I bid on something on MBOK using Japonica as the service.  I've never done it before, but my friend had...& she understands Japanese A LOT more than me...so, she sent me a copy of the order form & told me where to put my name, paypal & address...& I emailed them right away.

They invoiced me, I paid the deposit & then, within the next 2 days (around halloween), I got an email saying WE WON THE BID ^_^ 

I then got an email from Japonica saying they'll send the final invoice after the item arrives at their office, which was Nov 4th...but...i actually didn't get invoiced until the 6th...which according to my friend was not usual...She said they're usually on top of things...but I just figured they were busy with orders (there's a sale of 50% off commissions going on) ^^

The order was shipped out on the 8th & technically arrived on the 10th, saturday...but then...Monday was a holiday, so the package came today ^_^

Anyways, the whole experience was pretty interesting...&...I don't think I could place a bid myself, but everything worked out in the end & our order arrived in perfect condition XD

 Nice, big, secure box ^^
 They even taped a cardboard piece to make sure things don't move around ;)
 & our items were completely wrapped in bubble wrap, for extra protection ^^
 Even the little hat arrived in tact ^^
 My friends purchase: AATP Lock the Pandora's Memories JSK & matching hat ^^
 My purchase: AATP Twilight Circus skirt in ivory
 I've been eyeing out twilight circus for a while now & it's on my Lolita wishlist, so when my friend wanted someone to join in her order, I jumped at the chance ^^  Plus, she's also getting the skirt in another transaction, so now we can twin ^_^
And, I have to admit, I was REALLY worried about the fit, but Lo & Behold! IT ACTUALLY FIT ME...like, I could zip it up & everything ^_^  It is rather tight though, so I could probably lose a little more weight ;P

And now I want to find a lovely brown blouse to wear with it ^_^
