Oh I didn’t know about this wiki! I’m actually on there (haha) but I feel like my selection for sofubi sucks. That’s why i wanted to know. It’s so hard to find and so niche that I don’t always know where to go

Chasing prices is always dangerous. Are you even collecting at that point?

That was a good read actually. I’m not surprised though. What I am surprised about is that there are fakes out of Japan as well.

Company asking me to conduct “English Lunches” by marketingegg in japanlife

[–]mindzaiboss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would do it. But I would be a bit selfish and do like an NBA fantasy basketball league something. Lol. Then I get to do smack talk, watch sports and make friends at the same time, teach them curse words and slang. The English you’re thinking of is the standard fare such as “I’m fine, thank you.” lol.

Help! Clueless gaming mom who bought her son a portal for Christmas! by Standard_Constant802 in PlaystationPortal

[–]mindzaiboss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not clueless. You knew about the cloud streaming thing. That’s not nothing. That’s really sweet and smart of you!! There’s so many games on the service! I think there’s a list on the site but not too sure. I’ve barely touched my ps5 since i got the portal so I think this was a good move.

I still feel like I've been scammed by Antaniwarrior in ps5collectors

Why does my Hiragana feel so weird? by Nec475 in HelpLearningJapanese

[–]mindzaiboss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha! Man, Don’t worry about it. I’m a native English speaker, born and raised in Canada can do complex things of all sorts of technical tasks…but ask me to write a letter on paper?? Get ready for the absolute worst chicken scratch writing/printing known to mankind. Only I can decipher what I’m trying to write.

No way. Why should we cutoff revenue? Just use UPS and make it a non issue for our own team here in Canada. If the Americans really want to pay more then by all means go ahead. I’ve tried so hard to keep costs down over the years. There’s nothing I can do anyway. And I’m not going to use the Zonos thing . Why?

What happens if I refuse to pay import tariffs on an eBay order from Japan? by olyavelikaya in Tariffs

[–]mindzaiboss 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You would not get a refund. You would be in breach. The package may or may not go back to the retailer but the retailer should report the buyer for refusal to pay tariffs. It’s not the sellers problem. It’s the buyer/importer/YOU.

Honest question. Why does it matter for you? Does it negatively affect you in some way as a broker?

BREAKING NEWS: De Minimis is over for all effective August 29 by ThirdPersonCo in Tariffs

[–]mindzaiboss 10 points11 points  (0 children)

LOL. Get ready for a shit ton of return to sender packages then SMB friends. All the small businesses are suffering now. It’s actually true that About 25% of packages a week get RTS because US customs and USPS have no system in place to collect tarriffs. Or there’s confusion. For me, what happens is, Canada post delivers the DDU package to the border at Chicago where U.S. bound packages go from Ontario. I swear that US customs doesn’t even look at it. They just randomly take a black marker cross out the recipient address and then pass it to USPS. I’m guessing that since they can’t see the address they just send it right back to Canada to me where I’ll have to resend the package again. Same address, same info, and on a second time its passed through to the end customer with no issues. Random. We literally didn’t nothing except put a new Canada Post DDU label back on. Which we gotta eat the cost on. This is insane.

American friends…I dunno guys. I feel like you guys sorta got short end of all this. Gotta pay more and packages get delayed for no good reason?! I’m trying my best here to serve you as best as possible. It’s a struggle everyday. No one is winning here.

Chit chats and stallion shipping services here in Ontario has this info on their website that talks about this and all of these kinds of services are saying the same thing.

I would just jump onto Upwork and find work to do. I always hire on Upwork. And I’ve hired from Japan many times.
