In all seriousness, I'm glad that you're super transparent about this~ thank you for this video

[@spacehyun]

I'm from canada and I love buyee. I have to say the fee is a bit much but they almost always have coupon that reduce the fees a lot.

[@0221diary]

Spacehyun true

[@fatherandie]

how did you find the customs prices? were they a lot?

[@TeeFannie]

oh i bought from buyee back in the end of november! it took till january for my package to get to me cuz i chose the cheapest shipping option. the next one above it was already $20 USD which was too much imo. toploaders arent popular in korea or japan! ive never ordered pcs from korea but in japan the postal service is very good at being respectful and careful with mail so i've never gotten anything bent before. most sellers just put cards in a penny sleeve and tape it to cardboard or just put in a bubble envelope (from my experience at least).

[@0221diary]

yeah usually with japonica, i have to pay extra for a toploader so they definitely value them haha

ah yes i love watching my favorite youtube whilst doing stuff for uni

ah, you’re back, i missed your videos sm !! sadly now that the coronavirus has put korea in suspension, all packages to specific countries have been cancelled :(

[@koo2720]

I’ve had bad experiences with buyee tbh. the stuff is super expensive with all those extra fees. And sometimes when I’ve ordered something it wasn’t dispatched to the warehouse for weeks, and I never received emails why, when I finally reached out to them they told me the seller cancelled the orders, but buyee didn’t inform me and kept my money all that time. Having said that I did manage to buy a super limited edition blackpink photobook for £5 and £3 for delivery with a coupon so there’s that!

[@Americangirlkarmen]

you probably know this but you HAVE to scan the qr code’s on the back of victons pcs 🥰 it’s so cute

[@afrncscm]

hi eva! i was just wondering how they declare the package? was it the same with neokyo that they also include other fees (payment and service fees) or it’s really just the value of the item like what is listed in mercari?

[@rembbokie]

This seems like a really interesting concept, I’m looking forward to your tutorial video! I’m located in the US so I think I will be ordering from this website :D

Did you end up doing it? How were the customs fees?

Ive actually also recently brought from buyee and luckily because im from singapore i didnt really have to pay any customs fee only problem u bave with mercari is that the shipping is kinda ridiculous for a couple of photocards like i got about 10 PCs and the shipping was like around $20 ish usd i would say and i think japanese sellers have a thing with large envelopes cus i got like one seller which put one photocard into an A4 sized envelope and im like was there really a need for this

How is the shipping costs in general? Im in the US and i bought something from buyee but Im not sure how much shipping from their warehouse. I want to buy one other thing but i'm scared of buying something and not knowing how much the shipping would cost.

[@sy_lv]

What was written on the invoice? "Commercial value" or "other"?

[@maylinerosario3885]

I'm the biggest Buyee fan. I'm pretty biased XD

[@tusuelixir]

hi eva! this one's very insightful on buyee, thanks for the heads up. i had planned on trying them out this month but i guess i gotta weight my options bec customs taxes here in Philippines are just the WORST. just wondering if you've tried hoyoyo and zenmarket? i've used hoyoyo 3-4x while zenmarket just once 😅 hoyoyo only charges ¥300 per listing and their repackaging charge fluctuates around $3-5 only, while my usual shipping fee is around $15-25 that's up to 2kg in weight (with the repackaging charge already added!). they also buy your items pretty fast (2 days? max). don't know if that's considered cheap on your end but yeah. just thought i'd share :) looking forward to your next vid!

[@0221diary]

Jyra Lingao Lingao that’s super interesting thank you for telling me!!

[@daniellejontilano6368]

Hello i am also from the Philippines and i just want to ask if your orders from hoyoyo and zenmarket was hold in customs or how much you have paid for the shipping fee. Your response will be greatly appreciated ☺️☺️☺️

[@tusuelixir]

@@daniellejontilano6368 hey! no, they were not held in customs bec my address is a provincial one. even with my other purchases from different jp/kr sites, whenever i choose them to get directly delivered to me, they never take long in customs for inspection and it's either they pass it on to my city's post office or straight to our door. though i still have to pay the standard $2.19 claiming/delivery fee.

Hi Jyra. What province are you from?

eeee ive actually have been debating on using a proxy to find a few of the last items i need for certain collections but it’s super hard for me to decide if i want to use buyee or japonica but we’ll see !!

i think neokyo has pretty good prices ?

[@finding13emo]

I've had such terrible experiences with buyee. But somehow I ended up paying for SAL and managed to escape customs even tho the UK loves slapping customs on everything. I won't be using it again tho bc honestly they screwed me over so many times. I made a whole thread on why I dislike buyee 😂

[@finding13emo]

@@sammiearkley1033 hey so I ordered way over the threshold on buyee and managed to avoid customs. I did this 2 ways, you cant change the invoice value on buyee but you can change the item so put book or photos or something instead of photocard. I think you might be able to label it as a gift too, if so definitely do that! I also used the cheapest shipping (which unfortunately probably isnt available rn) in the hopes that bc it was sent so slow that they'd ignore it. Which they did lol. Good luck, hopefully you should be fine!

oh gosh, i’m from the uk as well. i wish i read this beforehand; i’ve just ordered something. do you use/recommend any other proxy sites?

TaeKLynn V yeah exactly

[@madlad847]

what did you expect lol

[@lalalitaaa]

i ordered from buyee before, and they do have an option when you select shipping methods to put your package as a gift! I've ordered through them two times already and the packages both got through my country's multiple custom regulations, maybe you just didn't select that option?

[@0221diary]

i did actually, but my country doesn’t care about the description, just the value

[@lalalitaaa]

@@0221diary ohhh that's why then, you can't change the value yeah :/

[@turnkit]

Buyee is TERRIBLE. They charge you initially a fee and you think you've paid all your fees... then when you purchase the item and it shows up at BUYEE... it's extortion time! You then have to pay like 10x the amount for the item to BUYEE to ship the item... or you can pay them to throw away the item. Awful experience.

[@todayyesterday]

do i put my real birthday? I am filling out the address part because I am buying shoes at buyee for the first time.

[@mandu6059]

Hey Eva, I missed you. It’s sad that you have to paid custom fees for every order you did :( Also my mercari buyee package is coming, too and I can’t wait

[@0221diary]

eeek how exciting!

[@Ari-cc6cr]

tradepetals sorry for bothering but can you enlighten me more how in your country they calculated the fees? In my country anything that is above 21€ will be stuck and I will have to pay customs! But do they do the calculations with every product together ou separately? Imagine that I buy two photocards and one cd and I consolidate it all and everything is shipped together... do I pay customs for each product separately + shipping or do I pay the calculated total price of all the goods +shipping? Sorry for the confusion btw :// and thank you!

[@0221diary]

Ariana Coelho no they put the value of all products together on the box, so if you buy stuff of idk 600, 700 and 800 yen they’ll put 2100 on the box

Buyee are scamming customers on their "protective packaging" service. They will charge you the fee but not doing anything. This has happened many times to me. I requested a set of photos before adding protective packaging, and another set of photos after adding. They are exactly the same!! No change of weight at all!! On their freight, they overcharge for shipping. Buyers beware.

[@0221diary]

good to know!!! thanks for commenting that!!!

[@zweiter297]

I have a question about shipping. Did the customs declaration on the box value the items as much as you bought them for? And were they labeled as gifts and photocards? I'm planning to buy there but I'm worried that I might pay customs taxes. Thanks!

[@MiNayeon]

you will pay custom taxes (n_n) I live in Sweden so I always choose DHL for my packages since I only pay 20-30 dollars custom fees. However, FedEx charge me very expensive regardless the value of items (USD50-70) unlike DHL USD98 value items (custom fee 23 dollars) :D

to people who buy from buyee, I bought a photocard but shipping internationally will be 20 dollars do you guys know if it goes up if i get more items or will shipping be the same?

the heavier the more it is, $20 is just the base fee but thats the norm for international shipping from asia anyways

I've always used buyee and was lucky enough to never get to pay customs, but I know your struggle TT Which one would you say it's cheaper in terms of shipping and fees, buyee or japonica?
