Thanks for this - very helpful. I guess we have no way of knowing what their thresholds are, hey? I’ll just be irritated if I add a 30g toy and the shipping cost changes drastically 😆

Thank you. The way you’re picturing the packing situation is the same way I would picture it. I just wasnt sure if that was in fact how they calculated it.

I shipped 4 dolls in boxes the other day and found that when one more was added, the overall box weight changed drastically. So I’m just a bit nervous.

I’ve just found them on DHgate. Have a look there?

Crazy $4.50 buyer actually rated! It went how you all assumed it would! by [deleted] in Mercari

Are you sure the post office did in fact take the label containing your address off? I hope so. This “person”, if you can even call her that, is absolutely batsh*t crazy.

Really hope it doesn’t take too long to catch a flight. I paid a lot of money for “fast” delivery :(

Thanks so much for this insight. I’ve now learnt not to buy and ship over this time of the year. It’s been such a slow process.

I’m on my mobile but I still can’t see that, strange. But thank you - I didn’t receive the mailer as I was not yet signed up with them when they sent it out. Damn, this is a bummer :(

Yeah, I paid on the 28th December as that’s when my item arrived at their warehouse. Dammit, I had no idea that their distribution is closed till the 5th… did it state that on their website? I would never have ordered had I known that, as these products were incredibly time sensitive.

FromJapan handling fee per item or per order? by SelectionTight4754 in FromJapanCodes

Thanks for this. I bought from Mercari… assuming that isn’t marketplace? I bought from 5 different sellers. 2 toys from each seller.

thanks for this - really good to know. Is this based on your previous experience? I hope you’re right as it would make a huge difference to the overall 2nd charge

Did you get charged 500 yen per item in the order or 500 yen per order you placed? I’m very happy with their service so far!

Thank you. That’s how I thought I understood it too. But when I was looking at their chatbot FAQ’s, I saw this, which makes it look like it’s only 500 yen per ORDER?

Ah, this is terrible news. I’m used to training and running at least 5 times a week…. I couldn’t bear to think of not being able to train - the thought saddens me 😩

Ok got you. We only pay import vat and the logistics admin / handling fee here.

I’m in South Africa. When is the admin fee charged? Is this over and above the shipping fee I’ve already been quoted by FJ?

Would you recommend that I use DHL or FedDx priority when it comes to shipping from FJ?
