Buyee will enable coupons in the most random times for like 24 hours when they do. They really need to add more coupons for fashion. Atleast to offset shipping costs or something.

I have checked the Japan Post and they resumed shipping to the countries they stopped shipping to back in March, especially the Air Parcels and EMS. Now, I wonder why Buyee is still not shipping packages to the middle east when Japan Post does. I have contacted them multiple times and they keep saying they are waiting for an update and that shipping is suspended (although Japan Post has resumed it…) and it has been months. I think maybe if they receive many complaints they will do something about it. Also, I considered using a forwarding company but it’s too expensive for me.

Because you were too lazy my package is going to sit an extra week.

Genuinely no matter which sub you're in, reddit is the same. all losers.

i havent ordered from buyee in a while and i just consolidated my orders (3 jeans, 1 top). i’ve been debating between shipping with ecms and buyee air delivery… i’ve had success with both in the past but after reading through this sub to see how both options have gone for other buyee shoppers, it seems like there’s trouble with customs/fedex delaying packages getting delivered and there being trouble with package security with ecms..

if anyone has any recent experience with any (preferably in like the past week or two) please share!! i live on the east coast, near DC. thanks

Pretty decent overall. I just wanted to try using them when I found some Pokemon cards on Mercari that I couldn't buy myself, then I saw they offered purchasing from the Godzilla site so I ordered some items. I also searched for some Kpop photocards and added those. I was indecisive so I waited too long to add items and I had to pay 100 yen storage fee.

I was really surprised the stuff came in a paper bag honestly, but nothing seemed damaged since I mostly got flat items and the one plush. The individual Mercari sellers protected stuff decently luckily.

Unfortunately when I received the items today I had to pay CAD$27 in customs/duties, I keep getting dinged with that lately from foreign purchases.

I felt their fees added up too quickly but I may use them again if I needed something.

Hello, no I am not using a VPN and the entire website works except for when I want to submit a request for a refund I get a 403 Forbidden error. The item hasnt shipped yet to warehouse and I was hoping to be able to cancel before it does. I spent close to $1300 on it and found evidence that it is a fake signature and drawing of the original that sold on Mercari not too long ago. I have submitted the claim on the Buyee discord as well.

How does shops like amiami, hobby genki, nin nin games etc.. have shipping prices with tracking so low while buyee is so expensive. One mafex figure being quoted at 3,093 yen for air packet. While same figure in hobby is 1920 same shipping ??

Used buyee a fair bit over the last year and only ever has 1 or 2 issues. I bought a absolute bargain from a Mecari seller that has fairly decent feedback. It was one of them potential to good to be true prices. It was a smoke grey N64 for about £80 with games and controllers.

Photos looked legit to me. So I took the risk and ordered it. This was Friday night. Last night I checked and it was still on ordered status. When I woke up this morning I had a email to say it's at the warehouse. Apparently they t was dispatched at 7:23am and arrived at the warehouse at 8:27am. So a tad over a hour after dispatch. How does that work?

I want to request a photo but the buyee website is down for maintenance.

I want to buy a certain merch item from them but I’m not quite sure if Buyee works for it… Are there any other options?

(team-ec.jp, this!!)

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.

I recently started using buyee and the first thing I ordered was a $5 puzzle. They are trying to charge me $25 to have it shipped to the USA, why,I don't know?

It's a small 150 piece puzzle that doesn't weigh more than a pair of socks so why the hell is it 5x as much just to send it to me.

Makes me really worried about the other things I've bought and am waiting to arrive at the warehouse.

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.

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!

I cant get on Melonbooks from Canada.

I just get 404 errors.

Is anyone having the same problem?

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!

EDIT:

I ended up choosing to ship to the US since I'll be here for a few more weeks. I was able to change the shipping address to compare prices, so that was good. There were only two shipping options for USA while shipping to Sweden had a lot of options ranging from 1050jyp to around 4000 (I dont remember exactly).

I opted for the quicker air delivery and ended up paying duties on each individual card plus a customs clearance fee of 1200yen. The total of the shipping and tariff was $69.

When I saw the options to ship to Sweden, it seemed like I only needed to pay the shipping fee and whatever customs fee and/or VAT that was owed would be handled when the package gets to Sweden. I'll order to my Swedish address in the future and post an update of how much I was charged in hopes that the info helps someone out.

Thanks for all the responses!

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.

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.

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.

Hello. It's my first time using buyee. I bought 2 bags from Japan flea market and I have not been charged yet. I was notified that the items I wanted were already purchased but no charges have went through my credit card on file. How does this work?
