for volunteering to organize this thread!! This thread is moving soooo fast! I was here last night & was on pg 1999 of the old thread, but this morning I'm on page 8 of the new thread? That's like ...*counting*... 10 pages in half a day!! Woohoo!! I'm so excited about this new thread.
Okay, second thing..
What was previously just known as the International Cassiopeian Pre-Order Project now has a name and - most importantly - a proper community! D *throws confetti around*
Since we're just getting started, it will take us a while to get up on our feet and REALLY make things cheaper for you guys. Right now we're offering prices that are not as cheap as I'd like them to be, but they're still cheaper than CDJapan/HMV/Amazon and - most importantly -
all our sales count to the Oricon chart.We won't just be limiting ourselves to CDs, however - we're also going to start pre-orders for
limited tour goods soon! You won't be able to find these ANYWHERE but at the concert venues themselves, so you'll definitely want to keep your eyes out for those
I should probably stress here though that tour goods aside, this is a strictly
NON-PROFIT PROJECT! Yup yup, must stress that. Cassiopride is dubbed an
international support project because that is precisely what we aim to do - support TVXQ in the most concrete way possible, i.e. buying their releases and making sure they count for something. So yes, you're paying a bit more than you would to YesAsia, but here are the important points for you to remember...
a ) YesAsia does not care whether DBSK's Oricon sales suck or rock and could not be bothered that they will probably lose out to KAT-TUN this coming March 9 >:|
b ) YesAsia's free shipping sucks. I mean SUCKS. Every single thing I have ordered from them has been damaged. idk it could be my retarded postal service but CDJapan was always fine
c ) ...YesAsia is an evil multinational corporation. We are innocent Cassiopeians making an honest effort to help out here ;_;...okok *shot*. Basically, I want to say that while mass orders (and therefore more price-cutting) is currently only available in Malaysia and Singapore, it shouldn't be long before it's available in other parts of the world as well, but the only way we can do that is if you guys let us know how badly mass ordering is needed by, well, placing your orders with us. My aim is to make Cassiopride a real family where we really can be proud of our love for the boys - by working together and volunteering, exchanging opinions, helping each other out, all to help other Cassiopeians support our favourite boys. Please do check out the
commlove post which was created for this purpose. (And we really need volunteers to help us cut costs even more! Join the family! ♥)

EDIT: GREAT NEWS GUYS. I`ve just done some recon and I believe we`ll be able to get DBSK`s upcoming Japanese single,
Share The World/We Are! to you for
even cheaper than YesAsia! I guess they`re feeling the recession after all. ;p
Orders close on Monday, March 9, 2009!To all Cassiopeians, please support this project & TVXQ!
