All 14 of my packages from 3 different shipments in June all cleared customs tonight!!! Hope everybody’s packages made it through too and this saga and pain is over.

I sent so many emails to the staff at shipping cart they finally sent me to the manager Maw haha. So the bad news is the packages are still stuck and she really didn’t have much to say about that... But the good news is the next shipments out of Japan are gonna be rerouted so no more paircargo warehouse for new shipments. The cutoff for checkout on shipping cart is July 6 and the shipment date is July 11. I did read in a newer news article the customs is claiming to have a goal to release all packages in July. They said they cannot continue to have this problem headed in to the infamous BER months and are working hard to release all packages this month. You can also try emailing: boc.cares@customs.gov.ph

Shturman is weak right now in the event. He has the mxlr and it’s not working for him. His goons are better than him right now and even they are no real issue. It seems like only 2 of his cronies spawn more frequently instead of 3. He also has a guaranteed badge on him and they are sitting on pallets of moonshine in the little cabins. If you’ve struggled or scared in the past, now is the time to go.

From Japan is very good but I’m having severe issues with a new credit card, my old credit card worked fine for so many purchases before that. Is there any other proxies that ship within Japan? I use a freight forwarder in Japan to cut import costs by over half and make a lot of purchases so it’s not feasible to pay 25-30 percent duties on everything.

Or does anybody have some credit card tricks, PayPal and from Japan direct transactions not working on new CC but when I switch to my debit card there are no issues. The new card seems to need more time to adjust because it triggers fraud alerts almost every day and I have travel alerts and contacted the bank 5 times in the last week to no avail.

Edit: right on cue the 8% off bomb coupon weekend! I see a couple people on here talking about 5% off 99 time use codes. But I haven’t seen one nor can find a working one. I’m looking for the big code you can use for 50000 yen off or more last seen mid May or a code with 99 uses 10k yen off. Do these exist or we stuck with the usual monthly code. Hopefully a big mercari sale is coming soon…
