Hi guys, The famous Mr. Camel who is very popular across Asia for selling original JP Yonex and Mizuno stuff in Taobao has finally open his very own JP sports equipment physical shop in Beijing itself! Me and 2 of my baddy friends are lucky enough to pay him a visit today, one day ahead of his shop's grand opening. For those Beijingers or those who wish to visit his shop, it is very easy. Take the subway Line 10, and exit at Mu Dan Yuan station, Exit B (see photo below). Then turn towards right at Exit B and walk about 10 steps, and look up, his shop is at Block A, Level 7, unit 719. (again, see photo) So whats in the shop? As the name suggest, all the JP Yonex and Mizuno rackets (he sells SP version as well at slightly cheaper price than BBE Sports), JP yonex bags (MANY!!!), JP clothing, JP shoes, and other JP Yonex misc items. In short, a heaven for JP Yonex and Mizuno lovers Enough said. Let the photos do the talking. Photo 1 - Exit B, Mu Dan Yuan Station, Subway Line 10 Photo 2 - His shop at Block A, Level 7, Unit 719. Photo 3 - Some of the rackets on display Photo 4 - The JP Arc Z Slash Photo 5 - Yonex JP Bags ! and some JP clothings (Many more in his store) Photo 6 - His own JP BAG951W for us to admire Photo 7 - The JP SHB-101LTD i ended up buying on the spot Photo 8 - The JP original SS series clothing (Taufik's black one) Photo 9 - Some other JP misc items on sale Photo 10- Some of his private collection on display (Not for sale) Photo 11- Lastly, his name card for those of you interested His shop is open everyday, including sat. sun. Only set backs are his shop currently don't do stringing (machine not arrive yet) and he does not accept credit card at his sop purchase. His taobao web service is still available and working.
I think this will be my new 'go to' place for JP stuff . Hopes he do online business. He has a nice collection of YY wooden racquets. Very impressive!
This is a most recommended shop for those of you that wanna buy JP Items. The range of items is complete, the price is reasonable for JP stuffs... For those BCers, just be sure to pay this shop a visit, if you happen to come to Beijing.. He has a number of collection of so called, RARE rackets.. Hopefully he has the one that you are looking for..
Errr his RARE rackets are not for sale. But he does has quite complete racket, shoe, bags, shirt range of JP Yonex and Mizuno. And for those interested, please call, QQ, MSN, email him directly (photo 11 , his name card is already up there). tckang and licin are just his customer, not agent or sales rep, just to clarify. And you may have to speak very basic English, and slowly with him, if you don't speak Mandarin.
Don't knock it, Alom - last time I went in they had a new brand of badminton rackets and equipment. I think it was called "YONEX", or something...
hahaha I apologise Mark (didn't know you held shares in JJB ) Yeah I saw the same collection of 'YONEX', must be a new clone/budget racket manufacturer They were also selling Yonex Aerosensa 10 at £21.99!!!!
I wish Mr Camel opens an online shop for us, but there is already a shop that sells a complete line of JP stuff which is Shuttle-house from Japan, their price is reasonable and cheaper than Camel since Mr Camel's stocks is imported from Japan which cost him shipping. AND, the EMS international shipping from China is cost A LOT($35USD a kg). So Mr Camel's shop is only for local people.>.<
For 35 bucks you could ship almost a hundred rackets......so it just means you'd have to order big to make it worthwhile!
Actually Mr. Camel's price BEFORE shipment is CHEAPER than Shuttle-house price BEFORE shipment. (Prices in shuttle-house BEFORE shipment is already Taxed by Japan local government, hence the difference) And If any of you are willing to pick up a phone to call Camel and speak slow, basic English, you may stike a deal with him. Shipment and payment that is. Price wise, BEFORE shipment, Camel price is CONFIRM cheaper than Shuttle-house. Just to clarify
But Shuttle house gives 21% discount to orders that over 10,000YEN which is just half of a racket's price. I am going to order some JP stuff so I have done a bit of research. Mr. Camel: SHB-65CF > 690RMB = 101USD 1022R > 590RMB = 84USD Shuttle-house's price after around 20% discount: SHB-65CF > 8400YEN = 92USD 1022R > 6888YEN = 75USD EMS shipping from Japan is also cheaper.
Like i said, Price BEFORE shipment. Discounts are not counted yet of course. Well well, In China discount is not a FIXED word if you know what i mean. Hint hint. Anyway i believe your price is a good enough price and i have to admit, Camel's mostly concentrate on China, Japan, Korea and rarely South East Asia business mostly.
spotted at800s, 1st gen ti-10, old color ns8000 and at700 in the 'not for sale' display shelf. just wondering why is the arc-z there?
Haha means Mr. Camel himself likes the Arc Z and decided to "induct" it into his Not for Sale private collection. Actually his not for sale collection got more than those .... Should confiscate them together eh ?
ROFL!!!!!! Rackets are not life forms!!! ---------------------- Mr Camel seems to have a certain variety of JP stuff when I had a browse around the site. It's not the full line as I browsed around and couldn't find certain items which I have that they do not have. They probably can be obtainable or per request.
