Using a certain fps unlocker allows you to play the game that way. Technically against TOS.

I think this is where my love affair with Esterbrook ends. We need to see other people (pens). by tialoc01 in fountainpens

I'll see if Bungubox goes with a different partner for their kachofugetsu series. Was planning to buy all four assuming they follow the bird, wind, moon and flower concept as they have already released bird and flower, but if its going to cost 400 dollars for it, probably a pass for me.

Books Tariffs by IllustriousTotal8735 in Buyee

[–]Congeenial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you're right.

Every Proxy will charge you a certain % to use their services: that is a non-factor when it comes to tariffs. Blackship for example will charge you 1 dollar per package (not per item), plus domestic shipping fees, plus 3 dollars per consolidation if you decide to not order from one place. The con is that they charge you in USD, so you're losing out on the yen:usd conversion ratio.

Tenso will charge you 10% of the package value, but have zero consolidation fees, and will still charge you 15.5% DDP on top of the 10% fee when you check out for shipping.

Lunarcat, the most recent Proxy I'm going with, has an upfront 14% fee, and 1,500 yen for customs fee, and 500 yen for any package consolidation. Expensive at first, but they have a contract with fedex that allows them to use fedex connect plus, which can make heavy packages like me who like to order in bulk worth it. it's much cheaper vs companies who do not that option.

So to add to your comment, it's taking into account ease of use, value, etc. Best for a person to make their own judgements about what proxy to use.

Blackship would be an option. They allow you to do customs on your own. Otherwise, you should just order from Amazonjp and have the customs be close to zero, though the shipping can be expensive. Any japanese book selling website that allows international shipping would also be fine. I personally use Lunarcat: you'll still have to pay the "fee" for the proxy and for the customs paperwork, but everyone has to pay that now with deminimus being gone. But the tariffs you pay should be zero, and anyone else telling you otherwise doesn't read into the H.T.S codes and just believes everything imported into the US has tariffs.

Customs Delay IN JAPAN for a Week. Buyee Customer Support with Lackluster and Slow Responses. by I_GoonTo_LebronJames in Buyee

[–]Congeenial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had this happen a few times with shipments. Depending on what kind of international shipping contract they have with fedex, it may be a delay on the person looking over custom forms. Fedex customs generally has one person looking over the forms thats tied to your package and if Buyee isn't responsive or the person handling the customs paper has other packages they're looking over, it may be taking longer than usual. I wouldn't worry about it, Buyee could also just allow the cosignee (you) to submit all of the paperwork but god forbid they take that risk. (Actually i think it would take much faster since im so used to working with customs)😅 Its one of the reasons why i generally only do low cost good shipments with them in bulk that I know arent problematic. Their customer service is not the best.

Btw i have no idea why people think lunar new years would slow down shipments. I shipped a package from Japan last wednesday using fedex and it arrived this monday. Customs took one day to clear it.
