That box was so bundled up that whoever sent it was going to make damn sure that arrived in one piece.

Buyee has always ultra bubble wrapped my orders, especially when I order huge lots $2000+ in value it’s still 1500yen for the bubble wrapping and it’s very worth it.

Most banks do have conversion fees with foreign currencies, so that's probably why the converted price is a little more. Each bank can charge different amounts. As for Shipping, damn, you got screwed over. My roommate and I have been using Buyee for a couple years and usually pay about 10-15 dollars on average for shipping. We usually get things off Yahoo Auction though, since the App is good at giving notifications and the auctions end up ending at much lower prices that equivalent products on Mercari.

Question dear sir? have you tried the lite plan fee? if so, can you share your experience between the standard and lite plan fees....P.S jst curious.

@@ratumosesebokia5151 I've only bought a pokewalker with the lite plan but I'd say it was fine. It came in a bubble mailer and there was not damage. Can't say what it would be like for a combined order though

hey hey! just a small thing (and for anyone else whos reading), i noticed you complain about the different qualities in wrapping. the proxy service themselves doesn't package the items that way, the seller does it, and japanese sellers make sure their stuff is SECURE. i order can badges a lot, and its not uncommon to see the badges in their plastic protectors, then bubbled wrapped individually, then bubble wrapped around the entirety. it all depends on how the original seller ships it, which is why in one package you saw the games just loose, but in another the games were individually bubble wrapped. hope this clears that :)

Eh I’ve used Buyee before, they were fine. I remember they will generally pack orders as they get them, unless you tell them specifically through email to get rid of the packaging it came in to consolidate further

It feels like Buyee is doing the same as what PayPal is doing. If you pay in your currency (let's just say USD) for an item that you're paying a different currency for (like JPY), Paypal is going to give you its own exchange rate, which is 5-10% worse than paying with your bank's own exchange rate. I did the math a lot of times with a lot of currencies and I had 5-10% better payments without using PayPal's own currency exchange rate. That is the default and when you're trying to change that, Paypal is trying to freak you out, but at least for me, it was better for me every single time. Buyee probably has the same exchange rate conversion method. I used Sendico many times now and I only had issues with items that can not be exported from Japan, so that is not even their fault.

Tip if you wanna see how much the mainland shipping is you should be able to go to the official listing and itll be somewhere in the infocard. Buyee has links to the official listing and i would assume sendico has them too

300 yen is very low for a service fee which is currently £1.49 ($1.90 US). I've never paid more than 800 yen in total for the service fee, inspection and insurance. I've ordered from Buyee quite a few times now and I have to say they're very good when it comes to making sure everything is well protected and they'll even re-package anything if needed (I've never had anything arrive damaged so far). I also tend to buy items where the seller pays for the domestic shipping within Japan to the warehouse and then Buyee will send me a choice of postage options when they have the package... So far the prices from Japan to the UK have been pretty fair and I always get a better deal compared to using eBay for imported games and consoles from Japan. I'm happy to continue using them.

I used Sendico to buy four older Aibos (two 111s, a 210, a 311) and was told not to trust Buyee to handle Aibos properly. Sendico did a fantastic job with all four, they each were well packaged and shipped without issues.

Jake Simmons: "Weight is the single most important factor when it comes to shipping prices." Not necessarily, but this may depend on carrier. The size of the package (not just the weight) can heavily influence the price of shipping, as a larger package obviously takes up more space. The size of the package also obviously includes height, width, length. I recently sent a hefty AVR, and the price for shipping was influenced by both weight AND the size of the box.

@JakeSimmons 12 күн бұрын

Size of the package is important yes, but it really only affects the price when it’s oddly shaped or extra large. Weight is still the most important factor when it comes to price. I never said it was the only factor.

I don't like Buyee, they make packages heavier to charge you much more. they added random cardboard pieces without any sense to my package just to charge me more. Like seriously ?? the fees are way to high too. Never buying stuff from Buyee again.
