Danny250183 23 Posted January 15, 2013 Hi all, I'm am a UK user with a problem that I hope someone in the USA may be able to help me with. I am trying to get hold of - Saki-Hikari Basic Diet Saki-Hikari Extreme Color Enhancing Diet My problem is I can not get it in the UK, what I was hoping is some very nice person will try to see if they can get me a 100g packet of the Saki-Hikari Extreme Color Enhancing and a 200g packet of the Saki-Hikari Basic Diet. I would pay upfront the cost for the food and shipping. If anyone can help that would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danny250183 23 Posted January 15, 2013 Update, I've found a japaness site that will ship to the UK, it's Rakuten. Has anyone ordered from there before? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucerne 218 Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) Are you talking about the Rakuten marketplace? (http://global.rakuten.com/en/) If so, I have not used that site yet myself, but I believe it is the same Rakuten company that recently took over Play.com and I have not had a problem with ordering things from Play since the takeover at all, so id also assume that the Rakuten marketplace site is safe to purchase from. Theyre a very large online company so Id hope it was well organised (though the translations on products are a still bit weird).

Narny105 1,992 Posted January 16, 2013 I just bought some saki hikari from the US having it arrive successfully It's also not commercially available here, but it shouldn't have issues shipping. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wteoh1 22 Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) You found a Saki-Hikari Extreme Color Enhancing Diet in stock? They're extremely rare to find I tried looking at various websites myself, its very hard to find one. 200g will last you a long time, I use the purple bag and its only half full since November 2011... The Rakuten global site does not have any hikari products except only one... Update: So I found it http://item.rakuten.co.jp/chanet/19753/ They charge for international shipping?
