Daisojapan

Almost everything at Daiso is $2.80, which is extremely cheap compared to other stores that sells similar things. They are mostly focused on home objects, but include some beauty as well. Quality is usually great for such cheap pricing.

Daiso used to be a proper 100 yen shop, but now a lot of items cost 200 or 300 or 500 or whatever yen. Still, it is a decent place to get cheap (although crappy) stuff for things where cheap and crappy is good enough. I went to their website because I wanted to order a large number of something that I saw in a large store, but didn't have in the stores near me. Their website is like something an intern put together using templates and it doesn't run well, look good, or behave properly. I don't know if it's a stock issue or other limitation, but it only let me order 11 (of 20) of the thing I wanted to order. There is also no after service. I mistakenly set the delivery time to a week later than I wanted (partly because of the site's bad interface) and there is no way to change it. I even emailed them and asked, and they confirmed that there is no way they can change the delivery date that is still one week in the future. And you have to spend 11,000 yen before shipping is free...but that's really hard when the things are so cheap and they won't even let you order the quantity you want. Basically a crappy for for a crappy store that sells crappy stuff, but sometimes it's still better than the alternatives.
