Same here. I'm a fiddler.

Until you try to deal with a Japanese company on your own, you have no idea how good we have it with IH International. I have sent the same email for 5 days in a row, and yesterday received….
Hi Gavin,
It became late.sorry about that.
Please wait for a two minute.
It sends a reply, immediately after understanding.
I'm really glad.See you soon.
And since…....nothing. I have even emailed in Japanese.
Is this standard? I wouldn't mind, but I'm only trying to buy a shirt.

I love the haiku-like nature of auto translated Japanese.
Recently, I was looking at the shipping options for a shirt and the drop down box contained the following 3 options:
1. It hopes of suddenness
2. It hopes of the following days
3. There is no hope -
Th really odd thing, is that when I first asked about the shirt I got an email back almost immediately, in quite plain English, simply stating.
Please send us your address and phone number, and we will advise a total cost including shipping, and Paypal payment.
I have sent them this information every day, including my order information (again) for the last 5 days
It's like they don't want to sell me the shirt, but are just enjoying winding me up.

That probably would be kinda fun.:)
"Hey, has that English dude flipped out yet?"
"Nope, still sending that same email."
"Send him some crazy response that doesn't make any sense and see what he does."
"Yeah, I'll send some poetry, but I'll run it through Google Translate and go from Japanese to Basque to Urdu to Arabic to English first…" -
Yeah, I really dig the Sartre-ness of it. If I ever buy from that store, I'm totally going with that shipping choice.
