Hello, David. Sorry for disturbance, but what’s about washizu mahjong set? I didn’t receive any messages from you about it since I asked. Is it still possible to purchase it?
Hi Nikolay,
Sorry about that!
I just sent you an email. I do sell Washizu mahjong sets, when I find them at a reasonable price, but I don’t feature them on this website because the quality of the finish is not so great.
Best wishes,
David Hurley
Hi Nikolay,
Oh yes, I’m sorry about that. I checked my suppliers here in Hiroshima and no Washitsu sets are available at present. I’ve also tried my contacts elsewhere in Japan but I haven’t been able to find a source for Washitsu sets anywhere.
David
Hi David.
Thanks a lot for your time devoted to my question. If you accidentally find one of these sets, let me know about this, as I don’t think I’ll be able to purchase it from other sellers.
Best regards,
Nikolay
Hi Nikolay,
If I find a Washizu mahjong set I’ll let you know!
David

hey, I was just wondering if chinese majiang and japanese mahjong have the same tiles and gameplay, because I play chinese majiang and was thinking of geting a set.
Hi, was just wondering if all the sets had blank Hakus.
Hello, David. Sorry for disturbance,but can you explain me where i need to write my address to you , when i will buy one of mahjong sets? i must register anywhere and write it there? or you will use address from paypal? please help me with that if it is not too much trouble for you.
Hello!
When you purchase something from this website Paypal will send me your address with the order. You don’t need to send me your address.
Best wishes,
David
Hello, David.
I found one of washizu mahjong sets in stock on mahjonmart.com. I’d like to purchase it, but I still hope to buy it from you. Would you please check your suppliers once again? It will be much appreciated.
Best wishes,
Nikolay.
How much would the S&H be for the junk mat combi set when shipped to finland?
and any photos on the Wind Tessera and Scoring Tallies,
as the pic enlargement button wont work i cant see much.
Hi Kakko,
Shipping and handling to Finland for the Combi set is $95 by Express Mail Service.
Here’s a link to a bigger photo of the Wind Tessera and Scoring Tallies. It’s a photo of the green-tile set, but the Wind Tessera and Scoring Tallies are exactly the same as for the Combi Set.
Hi,
I’m really interested in the differents sets. This kind of set can’t be found here (in France). The problem is the shipping cost is very high (It basically doubles the price of the cheapest sets). Is it possible to use something cheaper than EXPRESS MAIL SERVICE?
Thank you
Hi Vadim,
Sorry, I only use Express Mail Service to ship mahjong sets.
It’s true that the shipping cost is expensive. On the other hand, EMS is fast and reliable. It also comes with tracking and insurance. Actually, airmail without tracking is just as expensive, but has NO tracking and NO insurance. Surface mail is a bit cheaper, but takes several weeks, comes with NO tracking and NO insurance and is not always reliable.
Best wishes,
David
Hey Man
I am looking to buy a Green Mahjong Set that you got displaying at the top of the page and one of the mat that comes with the Combi. How much would that cost in total after including tax and shipping & handling?
Hi Frank,
If you want to buy them as separate items, the total for everything, including tax and shipping & handling is $230. If you want to buy the items as a “Combi” set the total would be $185. NOTE: the green tiles are heavier than the standard tiles, so the shipping is a little higher. If you want to go for the Combi option, send me a message via the online form and I’ll send you a Paypal payment request.

Hey David
How much is the Green Mahjong Set just by itself after including shipping and tax?
$140 – You can find the total price of any item by clicking the Paypal button and checking your cart.
Hey David
Can you explain why the S&M fee for the $25 mat cost $60 while the S&M of the $45 mat cost $45? To me I thought the S&M for the $25 one would be $25….
Hey David
How does the weight and the size of the “White Tiger” tiles compare to those of “Green” tiles?
Hi Frank,
The cheaper mat costs more to ship because it is heavier.
DH
Hi Frank,
The White Tiger tiles are about 1mm bigger across the face, and a bit flatter and thinner than standard and green-backed tiles. The White Tiger set weighs 2.2kg; I don’t have a green-backed set to hand, but I think it is a similar weight.
DH
Hi David,
I’m looking for a set with traditional design (green sou/hatsu tiles). Do you have any?
I don’t have any of those sets at the moment. You may need to order a custom-made mahjong set to meet your requirements. Please note that custom-made sets are quite expensive!
Hi, how much is the cheapest shipping cost, with tracking number, to Argentina for a Standard Japanese Mahjong Set (the 55u$s one).
Thanks
