I don't have this problem as I couldn't afford the set, but I don't see why people who own a valid code shouldn't get the earrings seeing as they paid the same as anyone else - it's not as if there's any delivery costs involved in sending a digital item "overseas".

To the devs: I import a lot of guide books, soundtracks, merchandise, etc - and I'd be far more likely to import FFXIV-related stuff if I knew I wasn't going to run into this sort of problem in the future. "But why not wait for it to come out on your local Square-Enix webstore?" - because a) They'll never be selling the Japanese guides/manga/novels, etc on there and b) I had Before Meteor preordered and paid for on a reliable import site before English players even had vague confirmation on the forums that they would eventually be able to buy it through official channels.
