✰ a ridiculously large Neokyo haul ✰ pt 1: unpacking 70 orders (mostly Seventeen)

[@indri7539]

I was watching ur old vids cause I miss u ava:(( but it's funny how u accidentally said hoshi instead of minghao at 53:20 when ure actually showing minghao's photocards hahaha

[@17carrotsforlyf]

I know it’s quite late tosay this but i just want to let the viewers know that the reason why there’s artsy pics included in the director’s cut post cards is coz those were taken by the8😆

[@carateume]

ahh good to know! that's so sweet. I figured there was some good reason ^^

[@mimil87]

Hoshi is so expensive sometimes! I wish I could collect all of his cards but it's simply impossible for me :(

[@janelygonzalez3075]

ugh same with the8 for me

[@kristopherandres4454]

InstaBlaster...

[@myahiatt]

Did you get the option to select a toploader for your cards, or did they already include a top loader? I've heard that Neokyo got rid of the option for customers to select if they want a toploader or not, so come cards may not come as protected.

[@carateume]

no i didn't. some sellers use toploaders, some don't, and some offer the option at an additional price (usually 50-100 yen). unfortunately, neokyo doesn't allow you to opt in for that though. most of my cards come with some type of reinforcement (ex. cardboard), but i've certainly had some packages arrive without any protection at all lol

[@myahiatt]

@@carateume Thanks for the help! I plan on doing a somewhat large order in the future and I just wanted to be sure~

[@emifox6616]

How much was shipping for the neokyo package?

[@carateume]

around 39 USD! and that includes the handling fee (500 yen). neokyo has different options based on your location, weight + dimensions of your package, and shipping option (fedex vs. ems vs. seamail, etc.). my order was pretty heavy, so it ended up being a bit pricey 😞

[@zhouwie]

@@carateume tbh 39 is REALLY CHEAP!!! for international shipping i think i may have to check them out i just started ordering albums (svt's ; and twice eyes open) but i dont think i will be collecting though unless i find some really special cards

[@zhouwie]

im curious though, how much did this end up costing total? haha

[@carateume]

@@zhouwie too much LOL. it's not bad considering how much i got and how much these cards normally cost from US sellers/instagram, but still a lot 😔

[@hestiaa3624]

dang!! that box cost $39??? Now I'm envisioning what my box looks like because mine was $134 for Fedex :' ) (i obv didn't pay that much, i did surface but holy cow its probs huge lmao)

[@ruhee1216]

@Lyric Augustus it’s a bot-

[@yeajuprk]

hello! could i ask what the difference between first press and second is for the henggarae albums?

[@carateume]

of course! second press albums have photobooks with ot13. first press albums have photobooks with only certain members, i.e. hana + dul have unit specific photobooks (vocal, performance, hip hop) and set + net have photobooks with half the members

[@yeajuprk]

@@carateume ohh okay thank you so much!!

[@Snbaragiissonly]

Did you get hit by custom? I have a lot in my warehouse rn and im scared for my life with the amount of items I bought 😂

[@carateume]

the usa doesn't have customs (as long as you're not spending over 1600)! one of the few good things I guess lol

[@olivia492]

hi! could you explain shipping to me? does it depend on weight or how big your items are?

[@carateume]

It depends on which mail courier you use (which in turn depends on where you live)! I’m using FEDEX right now, which is based on volume.

[@strayteez]

who do you collect? ot13?

[@carateume]

I collect all of Hoshi and select ot13 sets!

[@luvrsjjk]

Then i guess Neokyo is better than buyee right? Buyee's fees are very expensive, might as well buy from Instagram if it's not limited. Is it possible to write a note to them such as "please send this as a gift" or "please write that I spent €20" to avoid customs? Customers to Sweden is very expensive, it doesn't matter if you spend 10 dollars or 500 dollars :< great video !

[@carateume]

when you package your items for shipment, you can actually undervalue/reduce the listed price of your items by 70% (I've also heard that now they let you do it by 90%) in order to avoid customs fees!
