cockatoo-alice asked: Do you already know more about the release date for Royal Creamy Chocolate? Do you have any spots free? C:

Hi :) You’ve probably seen by now on the website, but the release date is 9th February. I have one spot free at this point. (^_^)

Anonymous asked: Personal thoughts on Royal Creamy Chocolate after seeing the swatches?

Hmm, personal thoughts. (.﹒︣︿﹒︣.)

I like the colours. They remind me of Musee du Chocolat, very demure and chocolate-y (as you’d expect). I also like thick fabrics so that’s a point in its favour for sure. The swatches are thicker than Musee and go more towards Melty Royal Chocolate style, but with a different texture. The gold on brown looks amazing too. However, the cuts aren’t particularly interesting. It’s a shame they made only a couple of designs. I’m not taken with it personally. I would be tempted if the JSK was a different design.

Anonymous asked: Hi! Would you happen to know if Laforet have any Triple Fortune Bonnets in stock?

Sorry for the slow reply. They don’t currently have them in stock, but they can be ordered via the online kera shop and through Atelier Pierrot. :)

Triple fortune’s gorgeous new Spring line! I got this leaflet from Atelier Pierrot. These are the only bonnets available for purchase at this time according to the Tokyo stores.

This is an announcement to say the Wishlist System is temporarily closed. Unfortunately, due to an overload of requests and orders, I cannot accept anymore wishlist requests at this time. However, I am working on ways to improve my system and make it more efficient, so hopefully I will be able to accept requests again in the near future. Thank you for your understanding!

Update of Terms and Conditions

The Tokyo Pirates terms and conditions have been updated. Please be sure to read through them before making an order (sorry that it’s pretty long). The main changes are highlighted below:

• Due to an increasing number of orders (thank you everyone!) replies will be within 24-48 hours from now on. I will still aim to reply within 24, but it is not always possible during busy periods. If your email is urgent (e.g. an auction ending within 48 hours, a sudden Closet Child item appearing or anything that will sell out very soon), then please mark your subject title urgent and I will make it a priority to read and reply to it first.
• Shipping days will be every Monday (or Tuesday if it’s a national holiday/other delays). 200 yen will automatically be added onto your total for shipping in order to cover packaging and handling costs.
• The shopping service will not operate on Sundays. This will be my day off, so emails will not be replied to nor orders processed (including invoicing, notifications, packaging, shipping, etc.) until the following day. The only orders that will be considered (emphasis on considered) will be Closet Child emergency in-store requests. Releases that have been pre-booked before knowing the release date will of course be honoured should they fall on a Sunday. However, any items bought on this day will not be shipped until the Monday after next (approx. 1 week after). This is to give me a day off because I haven’t taken one since October. xD

• Commission fees remain the same and are as follows:

  2000 yen for orders under 8000 yen

  3000 yen for orders over 8000 yen

  4000 yen for orders over 35000 yen

  5000 yen for orders over 80,000 yen

  For orders above 100,000 yen, please email me for a quote at contact@tokyopirates.com

• Online fees are a flat fee of:

  500 yen for orders under 5,000 yen

  1,000 yen for orders over 5,000 yen

  2,000 yen for orders over 25,000 yen

  2,500 yen for orders over 50,000 yen

  3,000 yen for orders over 80,000 yen

• I am now able to accept orders for auctions on Yahoo!Japan and mbok. However, to start with there will be a cap of 1 customer per day. This is because auctions require a lot more care, organization, administration and correspondence. I want to keep the shopping service effective and efficient. Should I feel I can handle more it may change in future. Auction fees are the same as online order fees, but every auction will be considered a separate SS because of the increased work and time required.

  Add 500 yen to a regular online purchase for snipe bids within business hours (9am to 7pm)

  Add 800 yen for snipe bids outside of business hours (before 9 am or after 7pm)

  Flat fee of 4000 yen for snipe bids after midnight or before 6am (I will operate a 24-hour service, but each request will be subject to consideration).

That’s it for the main changes. If you have any questions you can email me at contact@tokyopirates.com

Thank you for being totally awesome and reading everything. Have a dinosaur for your trouble because…dinosaurs!
