Same here from CDJapan, it notified "In shipping process" since few days before year end and requested for the revised shipping cost up 1100yen (yes, I did paid). Upto now there is no update still.
Recon, Do you mean the Import duty? In Singapore?
I thought it was free import duty in Singapore. So I have planned to order and ship this YF-19 to my friend in Singapore to avoid the taxes. May be I should hold this idea a bit.
