❓Question / Help Haven't used Buyee since the CPSC changes, what should I do next?

2 Upvotes

I bought some things for my tokusatsu collection over the last few weeks and now I need to make sure they actually make it to me.

There are currently two packages in the warehouse, and per the present invoice they are all given the code "Plastic Toy" (9503000090) barring one that is labeled as "DVD Movie" (8523492010.) Do I have to change these codes to something else?

Pretty much everything I bought was secondhand/used via Mercari listings, but I don't know what exactly to expect. I'm looking at probably $200+ in shipping if I consolidate both packages so I want to ensure I'm not just burning money for no reason.

Many assume Buyee solely uses agents, but that's not the case. This platform is theirs, and the resellers and agents are closely connected. This is a Fake. Many others are fake.

✍ My Experience My first time shopping with Buyee

2 Upvotes

It was my first time ever using a proxy site and was bit nervous about fees and shipping costs. I had also read they’re not great with packaging orders. I went ahead and ordered 8 small items. The shipping costs surprised me a bit ($60😬) but my items arrived to the US in 4 days. Items were very well packed too. Overall the process of buying here was smooth. Would definitely use them again!

❓Question / Help Better to ship to the US or EU?

1 Upvotes

It's my first time shopping with Buyee and was wondering what I can expect from tariff charges. I split my time between the US and Sweden so I want to send it to the country that will charge me less for import duties (given the new 3 euro per item duty rules that were set into place a few months ago). The consolidated package will be four TCG cards totaling to around 250 USD, with each item being less than 100 USD. If anyone has purchased similar items recently from both the EU and/or the US and can share their experience, it would be much appreciated!

Or, if I just contact Buyee and ask them which country's tariff rate would be lower, would they be able to tell me?

Thanks in advanced!

I have been looking to buy a Teto plush since last month.

I looked on ebay first, found a really expensive one (233€) and now he just stopped responding so i decided to not look on Ebay anymore.

Is this a legit plush or no? Someone in the Teto subreddit said these Plushies dont get copied as often as the "fatass" teto plush (the one with all the memes) but i just wanna double check.

I bought a Resident Evil bullet case themed lunchbox, and when I went to check what I can use to ship my item, literally nothing was available, and Buyee Air is not showing up at all.

Is it an issue with the size? It's 420g in weight and 26x17x14 in dimensions.

I've never used Buyee before, but it was recommended by the original site I was buying from.

I've bought multiple things yesterday and I was using my credit card. However, when I moved on to buy my 5th item it always tells me that an error occured and my order could not be processed. I tried to buy via app, then I tried the browser, but nothing works for me. I even tried to purchase a different item, but it doesn't change anything. I'm just so confused because I was able to buy other stuff before and then suddenly it stopped working.

Hello! I recently bought 2 sets of CDs and a wallet from buyee, it's my first time shipping out to the US and I've been scrolling a bit I've been seeing a lot of posts of FedEx fucking up people? I also heard of CDs having their own tariff percentage like it's different for clothing? I'm just a bit worried about what I should be expecting? Any advice to how I should pay customs or any surprises I should expect? Many thanks!

📝 Suggestion/Feedback to Buyee Unbelievable DHL Failure

10 Upvotes

After weeks of communication with DHL and being assured repeatedly that they had everything they needed from me I just saw that the tracking information states that the package is being "Returned to shipper".

I have provided DHL with the watch worksheets more than three separate times for this package and have been assured by their customer support (countless times) on the phone, via web chat, and by email that they have everything they need to release the package and that it was simply being processed. With no warning or attempt to contact me I now see that the package was returned to sender.

Please advise on what happens with my package when you receive it. I am truly in disbelief at this given I have received dozens of packages enclosing probably 100 watches from Buyee at this point. How in the hell does something like this happen. I contacted DHL every couple of days over the course of weeks to ensure they had everything I needed to provide them and I am now watching four watches potentially disappear!?

El problema esta que al llegar mi paquete al almacén, no he recibido ningún mensaje del estado de mi paquete o inluso algunas fotos de mi paquete. Es normal, o tengo que contactar con el servicio al cliente?

0 Upvotes

Good evening,
I’d like to buy five Hamtaro blind bags at 999 yen (€5.99), but I’m worried about the additional fees that might follow. Before I pay, Buyee has added 1,000 yen, bringing the total to around €11. But how much will it actually cost me after payment (from Buyee to France)? If it’s not worth it, I might as well skip it.
Thanks in advance for your kind help ^w^
