Title: Tenso 3000yen shipping discount - $250 USD SHIPPED for NEW HHKB Type-S!

Just in case you all have not seen this yet, Tenso is offering a 3000 yen discount on international shipping for orders of 100 dollars or more on Rakuten (which is more than enough to cover EMS shipping to the US on most items).

One other thing to consider: the Japanese yen is currently at a VERY favorable exchange rate to the US dollar.

I managed to snag an HHKB Type-S directly from PFU from their Rakuten storefront for $247. With the Tenso handling fee, my grand total for the Type-S shipped (around 250 dollars USD) is lower than EliteKeyboards charges for the non-Type-S HHKB. Preposterous, I say!

(Edit: cancelled my order because of unexpected car troubles this month, but the deal is still good through the 13th I believe)

This is the perfect time to buy that HHKB or other Japanese keyboard (or anything at all from Japan) that you've been lusting after!

Really nice deal for a Type S. Also looks like the RF numpads can be had pretty cheap. Thanks for sharing.
