You're right about Anime-Export. I've had great luck with them for retail releases, but it looks for webshop they can't always secure enough copies to meet demand. I noticed they haven't even put up listings for CJ-Extreme or Live

When I asked Hobby-Genki about their warehouse time limits, they said the only restriction is size ( 1 cubic meter ) I'm inferring this to mean how much shelf space your orders are taking up in their warehouse

Zenmarket I also like to use but only if two or more items are released in the same month. Their warehouse limit is only 45 days, but their fees are very, very reasonable (300 yen commission fee + shipping fee to their warehouse ) When I ordered Build Genius and Demons with Zenmarket, they were able to group order those two together from PB and was charged 600yen for both to ship to their warehouse.

Comparing Hobby-Genki's markup to the listings on PB (tax included), Hobby's is very comparable to the fees you would get from Zenmarket if not a little less (~500/700 from Hobby & ~900 from from Zen)
