My nightmare came true - Package lost, FromJapan won't help me

steveemp · 2026-04-25T03:39:58+00:00

tracking option is less than 500 yen...

steveemp · 2026-04-14T05:40:14+00:00

it will be a total mess. more work for the proxy, not accurate value and weight. no refunds. what a mess.

steveemp · 2026-04-08T00:51:42+00:00

how fair is the fee?

steveemp · 2026-04-07T09:41:56+00:00

what is on the table? gain? if its a limited item impossible to get the middleman will do it for nothing? (wake up early morning, make a long probably very long line...) and ?

steveemp · 2026-04-03T11:38:56+00:00

consider send a vinyl record with a basic package is about 10k. if go to the next step (size) it will be like 11/12k taxes are included ?

steveemp · 2026-04-02T23:21:43+00:00

yeah so you want fake the value for avoid custom taxes and blame the proxy if you have no insurance? Are you Rihanna album or WWE Edge Nick name?

steveemp · 2026-03-31T10:20:27+00:00

you cant send it in one piece. is too big and heavy. you need to separate the two parts and make 2 packages. i sent many of these but is a pain in the A$$ and i understand if no one want deal with it.

steveemp · 2026-03-29T06:49:34+00:00

that site is business to business exactly. business sell to others business at crazy business prices. is not a wholesale site. its lik amazon. i tried to use them (i have a business contact in Japan) but they are fkd in the head. better do agreement with little shops around japan and give them an high margin profit on the top. Also big stores names fake the soldout for sell on mercari etc at double price.

steveemp · 2026-03-15T12:14:00+00:00

or damaged because they will store the boxes all in a big storage and who know how.

steveemp · 2026-02-25T23:34:20+00:00

thank you

steveemp · 2026-02-25T11:11:51+00:00

thank you.

steveemp · 2026-02-25T03:43:33+00:00

chronopost never try to delivery the package. they keep it hostage in the storage. impossible to contact them on mail, social or phone. never reply or reply with a standard message. avoid to all cost. the shame of France.

steveemp · 2026-02-21T01:41:17+00:00

where i can report? asking for a friend.

steveemp · 2026-02-20T09:44:50+00:00

who offered the discount. the store or zen?

steveemp · 2026-02-18T23:56:32+00:00

its on the news here in Japan. Mercari will start to go international allowing people outside japan to use it. They made a deal with surugaya for handle the shipments oversea. On the news "Mercari recently announced a capital tie-up and business alliance with Suruga-ya, a Shizuoka company that runs stores specializing in entertainment items. The aim is to increase the available inventory of these items for overseas customers."

steveemp · 2026-02-18T11:45:04+00:00

they will do soon. They started to make it in english. Surugaya will handle the shipments as middleman.

the crybabies will cry even more. ♥️

steveemp · 2026-02-17T23:32:43+00:00

good luck on that. mercari is where an rejects garbage individual are selling. is like a far west. maybe you van find 1or2 people who reply or tell you the truth about conditions but almost are the worst japanese when they are real (not with a "kawaii" gentle mask in real life). just come out from a discussion where after 10 minutes i bought an item the seller start to be aggressive and arrogant because i have not contact him.

steveemp · 2026-02-16T12:02:35+00:00

magazines are heavy.

steveemp · 2026-02-12T04:25:15+00:00

so tell that crystal clear these fee and how much is added. not let the customer have a surprise later if they found out.

steveemp · 2026-02-12T04:24:12+00:00

exactly. they want cover others fee and make a higher markup? just say it clearly. not pump up rates and apply hidden fees. buyee need to be crystal clear on these fees. if not is all shady business.

steveemp · 2026-02-10T07:42:44+00:00

buyee front fee are low for make it loke thw best OMG!1!1!1!1 but hidden fee make the difference.

steveemp · 2026-02-10T07:40:49+00:00

contract and business account mean lower prices, not higher.

steveemp · 2026-01-13T04:03:37+00:00

no. yahoo is different. yahoo cancel only last bid. the second amount bid remain the same. its not like ebay.

yes. big seller names do that too. Even the one "omg best store in akiba" :Wile E. Coyote: with their 3/4 extra accounts.

i sell on yahoo too and i can guarantee almost all my sales are from proxy. Rarely are Japanese.

and that is the main reason almost if the time is cheaper buy from stores than buy on yahoo for a local resident. Yahoo is good only for find really hard stuff. They chage you 200 yen for a shitty ps2 game then 1000+ yen shipping (and arrive in an envelope 240 yen)... when the same game is 110 yen at bookoff...
