How To Use The Mandarake Website to Buy Anime Toys - Sailor Moon Reviews by Sailor Snubs

[@n.hughes5143]

Yesss! I have been waiting for this 💜 I always go to their site and browse but have always been hesitant to commit lol

[@SailorSnubs]

Happy it helps!!

[@line4381]

I know it's 2023 but this helped me on my first ever purchase on Mandarake. Thank you for the comprehensive guide!

[@zizouw9]

Hey, i have trouble creating an account.. like i put my postal code and it tells me it need two more numbers but i typed the correct code for my country... do you know how ro fix this please?

[@SailorSnubs]

You should reach out to Mandarake support for help with that

[@SailorSnubs]

Glad it was helpful!

[@line4381]

@@zizouw9 I'm not really sure how to help but like Sailorsnubs suggested, try contacting Mandrake's support. Also, try to google your postal code if it's correct one. It could also the address you've placed did not match the postal code you've entered.

[@meganvliegen522]

thank you so much for this tip! I have being wanting to buy my first Sailor Moon merch but it was so expensive, but this has helped me so much I am so happy thank you!!!!

[@christinalamarco840]

Thank you so much for this! I'll definitely be checking out their site in the future. This was very helpful ❤🌙❤

[@angela8524]

Thank you for sharing! They are not cheap compare to other shops, however they are easier to buy online if you don't live in Japan. I have been to their actual shops in Tokyo Nakono Boardway building which has lots of secondhand toy shops which is My must go place when I travel to Tokyo. You should definitely go check out that place when you go to Tokyo. Then you will see what I'm talking about. 😬. But I did purchase a couple of things from them because the other shops didn't have the items n they do tax free, so still pretty good

[@pablolee2252]

Are there any other cheap online reliable sites?

[@smoothielover07]

Thank you sooooooo much for filming this Shannon!!! :D

[@SailorSnubs]

You're very welcome!

[@smoothielover07]

Sailor Snubs Oh man, I forgot to ask...when ordering from Mandarake, do you have to pay duty fees? (I think that’s what you call them...😕)

[@Adrianlovescupcake]

I’ve been waiting for this too!

[@Toonie]

This was the perfect video I was looking for wow! Very well explained I know this is a bit older but thank you!!

[@fishy2374]

What would be a shipping estimate for buying a couple doujinshi? I found a lot I want but don’t know how much it’ll cost

[@yunogasai1338]

I'm from the U.S. and it wont allow me to use my zip code. It says it doesn't match my address. I figured it out. Apparently my terrible eyesight made me miss a spot during registration. I hope my first order goes well. I've never imported anything before.

[@casanovaming5727]

Thank you Sailor Snubs! very useful vid.

[@Daviduchija1]

So i want to place an order but the shipping shows a price of 9,000 yens from Dhl, i'm purchasing only 3 figures that weight in total 1100g-1200g and in total of pay gives 6,000 yens. So i'm not sure if the shipping cost is exact like the website says shows or is an estimate? Help

[@zodiyac]

17:31 at this point can you back down and not pay if you changed your mind? or it is too late you have to pay ?

[@delanceysdollhouse]

if u don’t end up paying it’ll put a strike on ur account and if you accumulate enough strikes you could be banned from ordering.

[@zodiyac]

will they tell me if i will have to pay for import custom fees beforehand? i live in canada last time i ordered from usa i had to pay custom fees to fedex?

[@StrawburryMilk]

This shipping prices almost seem extortionate imo and I literally won't pay it. Like I added a few items to my cart. They are not heavy at all and where from the same store, and they where asking for over £200 in shipping when the items cost around £10..

[@Anna-jr8gu]

Wow thanks a lot for this tip!! Can't wait to visit ! ✨👌🌜

[@sriharan2291]

Can i use my debit card ?

[@JohnJohn-si6ug]

When your order from mandarake arrives, does it have the brand on the box/bag or is it just normal packaging?

[@SailorSnubs]

Yes, they used boxes with the Mandarake logo on them!

[@karlagarcia4602]

Thank you for the information!!! ❤👍🏻

[@pinkstraw9983]

Have you used or considered using a proxy service? I see a lot of shipping options be around 5000 yen but proxies offer shipping for half that price. I don't know what's better so it'd be a lot of help if you could let me know!

[@SailorSnubs]

Yes I use lots of proxy services!

[@JuneMcCready]

question why are there two address bars i was so confused with that i only filled up the one on the required bar

[@jazzyjazz_the_artist7123]

You only have to fill one

[@antoniolicea8928]

How good is AIR SP for shipping?

[@lindseyb3466]

Are you able to sort by price when you are searching?

[@kusoteitoku1010]

Hello,im curious to know how much CUSTOMS cost per item? Because i never knew about that

[@SailorSnubs]

This really varies and I won't be able to answer that. Customs is a total mystery to consumers, and we generally have no idea how much the cost will be til a product lands in our country of residence. But fwiw I live in the USA, I try to keep international packages to a value of under $500, and I've only had to pay customs twice (in both cases it was for packages with a value over $600)

[@kusoteitoku1010]

[@omgriplol0__o278]

Ahh tysm for this video it helped out alot!

[@wenjie3453]

Does the shipping fee charge separately if I order items from two different stores?

[@SailorSnubs]

Yes, you’ll be charged for shipping from each store

[@wenjie3453]

well that was sad

[@arinky18]

How much is shipping usually to united states?

[@SailorSnubs]

It depends on weight so it varies

[@IsabellaKouppi]

Have you ever purchased an item that was described as open? And what was your experience

[@SailorSnubs]

I'm pretty careful with buying items that aren't marked with a condition or say they're a lower condition and I take a close look at photos if available. The only items i've bought that were 'opened' were vintage 1990's things like stationery and they came in good condition

[@mayahalstied6639]

i have a question i picked the credit card method but it didnt show me where to put the details like pin number card number, so i am just worried

[@pilmo6]

so, no proxy services are necessary? you can buy directly from their site and receive shipment in america with no middle man service?

[@SailorSnubs]

That's correct!

[@etherios.jinchuuriki9363]

Hiee, I'm from India and I tried registering on the website. When I tried filling in my zip code it wasn't accepting it and it's a required subject there. Could you please tell me what to do?

[@ecick1209]

Does anybody could guide me how to fill up the shipping address, the site does not recognize the zip code and the phone number format, etc. Thanks in advance!

[@adzirp205]

It has the aps now

Have you had any customs or tax problems when exporting figures?

Nope, no issues at all

Hello, my order has been canceled on Mandarake. Is there any type of ways I can get a refund? I need answers quick...

[@japren26]

question if i pay and they find out that my item are no available what would happen ty for reply

[@GojiNerd]

I’ve heard they accept PayPal, but is that true? Cause Im not fairly sure if they accept debit

[@SailorSnubs]

I would recommend looking during checkout! Since different countries have different financial protocols, your options may be different than mine. Lmk what you find!

[@Kirapitch]

How do you know how much it is in AU? because it sais yen

[@animerewind1323]

How does shipping with the Sahara Store work? Do you have to pay shipping for each item?

[@magicalashleigh]

Shipping depends on location, not on the amount of items. If all the items you buy are from 1 location, no matter the location, you pay shipping once. But if you buy from 3 locations you pay shipping 3 times.

[@ultraman9083]

Does mandarake only sale in retail price? Or they do have wholesale prices? I hope someone here can help me 😔

[@InfamousGFox]

So they charge for the size of the box and on top of that the weight of it??

[@SailorSnubs]

Yes!

[@jaytheartman610]

@@SailorSnubs so if a product isn't that heavy or big then the shipping will be almost nothing?

[@SailorSnubs]

Correct!

[@death2allsinners]

Hi Sailor Snubs :3 Have you ordered a figure which the condition: Opened ? How the condition of the item? no stains or little damage or something? Please and Thank You :)

[@SailorSnubs]

Since everything on Mandarake is used, each item varies in condition. I have ordered opened items before and they were all in good condition.

[@death2allsinners]

Sailor Snubs thank you so much. It really helps 😊

[@palelamb5113]

Do you need to have a japanese email address to register? I used my gmail and outlook emails but it just would not send me a confirmation letter. Does it just take longer that a usual confirmation? Please someone help meeeeee

[@palelamb5113]

nevermind i fixed it 😅

[@SailorSnubs]

Glad you fixed it! And no you don't need a Japanese email address. 😉

[@Amaya-do5es]

Hi I'm not sure if you still reply to these but what if I place my order and the confirmation comes in and the price is something I do not want to pay, may I cancel from there?

[@hansenyue]

you can enquire to cancel however if you do this multiple times most likely you will be blocked from purchasing. because since you already have a confirmation already they consider the sale final i actually have cancelled once in my whole history with buying from Mandarake, if your wanting to know the total cost including shipping maybe drop them a enquiry before submitting your order

[@MarieLovelains]

Hi I went ti the shipping thing and ems wasnt there and its only dhl and im not sure how much that is do you know?

[@SailorSnubs]

DHL tends to be pretty pricey but it always depends on weight. EMS is currently not available due to covid.

[@isabelalbarran123]

Since I live in the United States, I want to know how to convert yen to usd. Please tell me if I am correct. 9,820 yen is about 90 usd? I will appreciate your response. I am very hesitated about making my first order on that website because of the different currency. I don't want to make a mistake.

[@SailorSnubs]

It fluctuates but yes, generally converting yen to usd is as easy as moving the decimal point two places. So if yen is 9820. Move that decimal two spaces to the left, and the usd would be 98.20 (this is never exactly correct but you can check it quickly on google - just google 9820 yen to usd and google will tell you the current conversion).

[@tokidoki3405]

u can also just google "yen to usd" and it calculates it for u

[@isabelalbarran123]

@@SailorSnubs I had my first purchase from Mandarake. It was cheaper there, comparing to Mandarake Ebay. On the Mandarake website, we have to pay for shipping fee while on the Ebay Mandarake page, the shipping fee is free, but the cost of any items doubles! I am glad that I chose to buy directly from that website! :)

[@luminous8024]

This has been the third time I've been blacklisted from MANDARAKE for a basic issue (change my address). The last two times were for requesting to change from an exorbitant shipping method, and not being able to pay within 24 hours of invoice (deadline is 5 days). What a bunch of goblins that won't be getting my money.
