Not to buy a game's merchandise from the other side of the world (shipping price was around the same price if not more expensive than the product itself)

All my friends know: The moment I get a zombie apocalypse or similar confirmed, I'm ransacking and then burning down the customs building. They're criminals and I want them to die first with the fall of society

I was in vacation in Japan. We ended our trip in Tokyo because my partner and I are into gaming and I knew we'd buy stuff. One thing we bought was bigger and a bit of a hassle to pack. I wondered how much it would have been if I had bought it online and shipped it. Turns out I lot of the newer stuff we bought we could have bought from Amazon Japan and shipped directly home for a reasonable rate (probably less than the cost of the overpriced duffle bag we bought).
