Hello, i am wondering about shipping costs from buyee, specifically shipping cameras to Australia.

i bought one point and shoot film camera the other day, cost roughly 35 AUD shipping via EMS.

im just wondering how much does shipping increase if i was to buy say two or three cameras and consolidate them or better to avoid consolidating? does it go up linearly or will it only increase a little bit per camera? bit annoying that you cant get the shipping price until after you have already chosen to consolidate! also found the "shipping estimator tool" to not be particularly accurate.

also wondering about the shipping options, i have heard EMS is a pretty good option to go with, but are the cheaper options that much worse, or are they just slightly slower? i couldve gone with one that was half the price of EMS, dont remember what it was called tho, how risky are they?

i have already bought two cameras for roughly 7 AUD each, so im not too worried if the shipping is expensive ish as they were already very cheap.

if anyone has some answers for me that would be fantastic! thank you very much.

Hey sorry I’m kinda new at this. Earlier this week I had the option to use JP post on my last shipment because the shipping was half the cost of ECMS air parcel. My main question is will I need to pay additional tariffs once the package arrives in the U.S. like when I use DHL or FedEx ? I probably should have asked this before already choosing the shipping message but just trying to prepare myself for a possibly super high tariff bill. Thanks in advance.

Hello
I would like to purchase a party game from Japan which consists of basically just a deck of playing cards.
The size of the box would probably be 10x10 centimetres. A few grams of weight.
I’m a buyer located in Europe. Has anyone any previous experience with how much shipping costs for an item like this would be?

like the title says… they really should streamline the ordering system, especially order via URL. this has happened to me too many times to count now but this most recent time is extra frustrating because I stayed up really late to place a purchase request on Buyee the moment the item I wanted released (12 pm Japanese time). it took them 6 hours to confirm the item stock, which I paid for immediately, but the item sold out a few hours later and Buyee never got around to ordering.

instead of check stock -> I confirm and pay -> wait for purchase, why can’t it be: I pay when I request them to check stock -> they check and order immediately if still in stock? it’s just the additional waiting, which sometimes means an extra day, that’s been really frustrating… 😵‍💫

I have used Buyee for years now and it’s been fine overall and I trust it as a proxy, but recently it’s been pretty slow with checking & ordering and I keep barely missing out on things I really wanted!

I've purchased two pretty large posters - one B3 (36 × 51 cm) and one B2 (51 × 72 cm).

I've also purchased a VHS and may add some other items (books, DVDs etc.) over the next few days. It's all currently sitting in Buyee waiting to be consolidated.

I'd like to receive everything in the cheapest way possible (to Australia), so I was wondering whether it would be better to:

• Consolidate everything into one package once all items arrive? or...
• Consolidate the 2x posters into a separate package (ideally together in the same tube) so they don't make the VHS/books package unnecessarily large and expensive.

I asked Buyee directly and their answer was basically "it's usually cheapest to consolidate, but sometimes it might not be", which left me more confused than before. What would you do?

So I’ve decided to get something which is over £135(I’m importing to the uk).
With a discount it comes down to about 170ish but I was wondering is all the import fees will be calculated on the discounted price or the original one.
Thanks!

I've heard that buyee's shipping prices are crazy, and that a lot of people pay stupid amounts of shipping on small stuff, after already committing to a purchase. I was wondering if there was like a calculator site or a rule of thumb to go by when guessing shipping prices beforehand?

(Idk if this is important, but im buying manga from

book-off)

This is the second time I’ve bought a magazine where the seller states the inclusions will be included and they are not. I didn’t contact buyee last time about it just took the lost, but I did this time. Do y’all think they will do anything about it?

My first time using Buyee, this site is genuinely terrifying with how uncertain I am about things. I'm tossing up buying an item, partly as an experiment for learning the site. It's a secondhand seller on Mercari. Item is about 800g, and for Australia the cheapest shipping price (AIR) is doubling the cost (unsurprisingly).
Together it's 1700 yen base price, plus 500 service fee, 500 plan (btw, is this one necessary considering its just a small item?), 1770 estimated international. Domestic says its paid for by seller so I assume I don't have to factor that in? Also 10% Aussie GST, eugh. Not sure which parts of that equation count for the 10%.

Still, it'll end up maybe ~20% better of a price than the average local retailers down here, and not many places even have stock.
I might even just wait for a stupid good deal from Buyee, even if the shipping cost doesn't change.
So, is the estimation accurate for single, small items? I don't want to end up paying a bunch more and making it not worth it, considering it's not a huge improvement from locals and is a step up from base value (I mean it's not that bad. I might just be greedy, I see way worse costs for other people).

Even better, should I know about any first time coupons or anything to cut down on that shipping?

Sorry for yap

Hello, i need some emotional support and advices. I've just ordered on Buyee and i wasn't expecting that international shipping will be so expensive. I live in North Europe so idk what should i wait for. I made an order today, so idk when will my package delivered to warehouse. If someone here has any experience with Buyee (especially in Europe) please share with me, thanks.

I was looking at buying all of the jjk manga volumes off of book-off, but they don't ship overseas so I have to use a proxy. I've heard some good, but also a lot bad about buyee, and I was just wondering if what I heard was right? or if there seems to be so much hate because the good experiences just don't get talked about, and it's actually safe to use
