[mod post] Welcome! (:
What was previously just known as the International Cassiopeian Pre-Order Project now has a name and - most importantly - a proper community! :DD *throws confetti around*
I have some really important points to make first of all so please take a look before proceeding (:
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! :D 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! ♥)
And of course, the f.a.q is required reading so you understand where your money is going (and a bunch of other stuff)! (:
Please join the community to keep updated with new and exclusive pre-orders, because advertising is rather difficult (and feels really cheap D8) so we'd like to try and cut down in the future :/ Pre-orders for Share The World/We Are! should also be starting soon (and will hopefully be more organized)! ;)
On a personal note, I am likely to be pretty busy (ok, swamped) for the next week or so, so I am pretty worried about how administration is going to go for now...but all big things have small beginnings, y/y? I really hope I`ll be able to get to know you guys much better in the future, and look forward to working with you! (: 카시오페아 파이팅! ♥

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
