Yeah, as if a 500 Yen declared PCB is going through without any issues
I’ve honestly not had any issues marking that low via FromJapan - and have probably made a good 20 orders. Perhaps I’ve been extremely lucky and am jinxing myself now The only time I’ve been charged/had anything stopped with FJ is when I completely forgot to mark down a console – and was (unsurprisingly) hammered.
I usually do 300 yen basic fowarding and mark everything at 500 yen and a 'gift' - so no Customs and less than £3 comission Although no insurance either
I said maybye customs fees but the last time the customs blocked the parcel and asked me we want to see the invoice with the payement
Wow, that really sucks I’ve never had that happen. Although I have several nightmare stories where I haven’t been able to mark down the value (like when ordering from Mandarake)…and I’ve been charged crazy amounts Well above the normal 20% + clearance.
Yeah, German customs are a breed of their own... I mean they are dumb, but not that dumb to realize a PCB is not only worth 5 quid
Plus the limit for commercial parcels is only 22€ and that's with shipping included. So it's almost impossible to circumvent extra fees. I had some PCBs pass through but that was pure luck.
I think 1500/2000yen is the sweet spot (per item), but we also get taxed on the shipping value.
It's not so much about avoiding customs, more like making the charge as low as possible.
I paid taxes 39.99 euros for an item with a value of 2000 yens .....i don’t understand them for example I paid 52 euros for 6 stools with an invoice of 5000 yens and the 3 stools for 60 dollars from rancor I didn’t pay anything
Here in Switzerland it depends on where the shippment is reviewed.
SAL shipments are usualy not taxed at all.
EMS etc are done by a different team. They are expecting small and valuable items. They check ebay for prices.
I bought one for that price in the NG DEv online store. Well, it is not here but it will be. I mean it is a brand new game. There will be enough or they will produce more.
What’s the going price on Cave boxes? It’s a newer style box for games like Deathsmiles, Mushihimesama Futari, Ibarra, etc. I have all those PCBs. I don’t usually collect cardboard boxes.
