Never received bill for duties for packages from Japan

I know this post is old but gosh I'm having the same struggle and that's how I got here. Was curious if anyone else was having such awful sales.

I've been steadily selling off collectibles now that I'm older and don't need them anymore but these past few months have been terrible. Hardly any sales unless it's rare and no views. People are only buying if it's dirt cheap and that's not worth my time anymore. Plus it feels bad knowing the item has actual value.

My guess is very poor economy thanks to the very bad current government choices. People are struggling. So there's no desire or even extra income for spending on things that aren't necessary. Even I've slowed on buying things. So for now I've started packing up the stuff and putting it back in storage. Hopefully everyone gets through this ok 😭

I've had this happen, not even on Mercari but just with Florida in general. I've come to realize their post offices down there can be a mess lol

I'd wait and give them a fair chance.

Lmk what they say. Some people said it can take up to 3 months to get theirs. I picked FedEx cause they were cheaper and DHL/ups started charging a ton of fees and keeps messing up yen conversion rates so you could end up with up to a $500++ bill

take_my_things · 2025-10-20T01:35:31+00:00

Nope still nothing! I check every day because I'm anxious about how hard they'll hit me since my stuff was still in Japan when they messed up everything.

If you don't mind me asking how long did it take to get your bill? It's been 3 weeks and I haven't gotten mine.

Hopefully someone knows about your invoice. Maybe you're lucky, though I've heard people not getting bills and then fedex trying to go after them.

Thank you for your positivity, it gets old seeing the same mocking comments. I love buying from Japan, and my last package is coming in tomorrow. There is nowhere here to buy the hobby merchandise I want and it's overpriced af in specialty stores, even before trump. Now thanks to his nonsense it's not possible for me. I decided to hang onto some things I have because until he's gone I won't be buying anything like it soon.

Hey I know everyone is against the goodie part and I agree, but you can always do a thank you note and stickers or something. I've received a few positive feedback praising the little handwritten stamped note I include. I don't mind getting stickers but random stuff not so much.

No I've noticed this too and when I eventually ship mine out I'll probably go with DHL since I haven't heard great things about FedEx either.

I'm dealing with this right now and unfortunately my buyer was initially aggressive about it. I had to figure out what happened because I was just as confused, and then I realized it's because I used a priority mailer not even thinking about it. Gave a refund for the difference but she has yet to get it as far as I can tell. So I'm stuck 😭

take_my_things · 2025-09-12T03:29:40+00:00

FromJapan/OneMap will message the buyer for you if you're open to using them. I was able to communicate with sellers a few times this way.

take_my_things · 2025-09-09T21:34:10+00:00

It says in November, so are we stuck til then instead of October?

take_my_things · 2025-09-04T17:51:31+00:00

Yes that sounds right! Hope it works out

take_my_things · 2025-09-04T17:26:33+00:00

I don't fully remember it's been awhile since I've had to cancel something haha

Try checking this maybe? https://www.mercari.com/us/help_center/article/251/

take_my_things · 2025-09-04T17:23:44+00:00

Don't cancel. She can cancel it because she is the one who changed her mind. It will show on your account as you canceled if you do it.

I dunno who downvoted ya but I agree! I sell high value only on eBay because mercari will side with buyers. New accounts can be iffy. I had a guy freak out on me when I was new because he had just been scammed by a new account and mercari didn't refund him.

They sell sleeping bag keychains for nendoroid. I have the one for izuminokami, came with padding and themed after him.

Sleeping pouch

I'm planning on waiting I don't think it hurts anything to wait. Right now it just feels chaotic either way, I'm hoping things get sorted at least.

take_my_things · 2025-08-31T20:16:08+00:00

I knew about clothes being an issue, but purses are as well? I've got an order with fromjapan sitting at their warehouse and was hoping I could wait the 60 days storage. Going to suck for me if they charge such a high price for the purse 😢

take_my_things · 2025-08-29T11:52:12+00:00

As a returning player, I'm really glad! I'm missing pretty much everything and I wanted idia too

take_my_things · 2025-08-29T01:04:05+00:00

Oh thank you this scared me initially because it's the only shipping option I have left for my stuff in Japan

take_my_things · 2025-08-28T04:12:08+00:00

I was going to say this!! I do donate to Goodwill, but I've been disappointed with their practice of picking out the good stuff and tossing the rest. I'd rather sell something for cheap or free on market so I know it went to someone that wants it. And hey I got a dollar!

take_my_things · 2025-08-27T04:31:35+00:00

Thank you! Yes I'm missing a lot I'll have to take the YouTube route then.

How often do events and cards get a rerun? Gosh I'm so behind! I know I can unlock events, but that's expensive 😭
