Every week now.
It is also 900 yen oer order now, not 500 like the title says.Fixed, thank you.
The charge per order is now 900 yen. They've bumped it up a couple of times over the past year or so.
I've noticed the prices of the items on my watch list increase by 10-20% over the past year as well.
Additionally, the minimum price for items could be 300 yen before, now its 650 yen.
There are still bargains, but it is harder to find.
30%. Min used to be 500, now 650. Shipping "not shipping" fee was 500, now 900. That, mixed with exchange rate changes, makes it a lot less appealing now.
What are people buying? Items look average
Got a boxed Wii U and motion plus remote for about $80 (console alone averages $200 on eBay currently).
Sadly high "commission" is killing it a bit if you don't want much stuff or something expensive.
Do they support PayPal Pay in 4?
Yes. I've used it quite a bit.
When you select PayPal as the payment method and then go to pay, it opens the PayPal window and you can select pay in 4 as long as you are over the usual minimum.
Any good items to but that we cannot find in Australia or that are cheaper than in here?
Generally things that are in abundance in Japan but not here. Rarer gundam/model kits, trading cards, older video games/consoles, figures, etc.
It won't all be deals though.
Put a order and then asked something about the item. They were unable to answer. Request a cancellation and they said they can't/don't cancel order but ONLY this time (making very clear it was a favour) they were cancelling that to me.
I would never buy anything again.
Most reasonable people would ask first, then order.
You didn't think to ask before you placed your order? (I didn't neg you btw)
Neither did I although there's plenty of reason to there lmao
No need to keep posting this as it has never been longer than a week without free shipping for a long time now.
It used to be 3-4 days on then 5-6 days off but they've gone mainstream now and it´s practically free shipping more often than not as they are really making money with the international influx. Last one finished 2 days ago and it's already back on for another 5 days. Prices have gone up, minimums have gone up and the surcharge has gone up from ¥500 to ¥900.
The one upside is faster delivery. It used to be around two weeks, but I mostly get things within 5 days now, sometimes even 2. As always, everything is packed very well by individuals whose names are linked to your package. If there's a problem with the contents, that individual is held accountable. I have only once had an issue, and it is a very strict, long winded and frustrating return/refund process, so be warned.
Not the bargain spot it once was as prices have rocketed and there are a lot more people using the site now, but there are still the occasional gems if you're fast enough.
Good deal, but extremely common promo.
