Vpost id and Home location

Hi,

For people using vpost as forwarder for purchase at japan play store, do i need to put the VP id in the shipping address?

And when setting up Google wallet, under home location i should put vpost address and then tick use this address as shipping address?

Thanks in advance.

so what it means ?? the account that u used to buy stuffs overseas cannot be used in singapore ah ??
So to change back, just use the default account we normally use ?

its just slight inconvenience when buying some local apps that doesn't let u install unless u are SG account.. anyway I'm enjoying my Music All Access

Apparently they will lock you to a specific country play store. Let's say if you buy a n4 from the US play store, they will lock your account to the american store and you won't be able to download apps that is region locked to SG only.

what if you root and put a custom rom?
will that reset whatever restrictions they had in place?

why every1 worry about account being locked?

already mention earlier on that to create a jap google account to buy n5 can liao ma...

my n4 use another account buy but login using my sg google account works fine for the past 11 mths....

i think only those who used their sg google account to buy the n5 will be affected...

So I placed an order with Tenso using the buying service on Nov 2, Saturday. Since then I hadn't heard any updates so I sent an email to their support yesterday Nov 5.

This is the reply I got:

Hi,

Thank you for your e-mail.

Your item has been successfully purchased and shipped out
already. However, this item was shipped from Hong Kong,
so, we assume that it will take a couple of days to get
Tenso warehouse.(Your package currently has entered in Japan)

We hope that this helps answer your question, and please let us know if there is anything else that we can do for you.

Sincerely,

i have had 2 accounts closed because google couldn't recognize the address I was sending it to (tenso). Cannot log in using my own personal email even using VPN as it directs me to singapore playstore every time. getting really frustrated what I'm doing wrong and why every one else seems to be able to order successfully.

my main account became US.. and then cannot install SG apps like this.. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sg.gov.lta.mytransport

sianz

delete your google wallet US address and change to singapore address.

Guys, please stop confusing us.

If you buy the phone from Google Play Japan using a Japan Google Account, everything is alright as long as when you sign in on the phone you use your Singapore Google Account.

You are supposed to see the store in Japanese, 'cos you are "virtually" in Japan remember?
