Had stuff sitting in Tokyo for over a week now saying
“ Prepared for despatch to the UK”
Anyone else getting this. About a month ago ordered stuff it said that and then “ Despatched to the UK” a few hours later then arrived 3 days later in the U.K.(cause it was a weekend). A bit worried marked the value down so get fuck all if it’s missing.

Ems is not shipping to many countries in EU for over a month now. Not sure about the UK, but it is the case for Switzerland.

EMS to UK is OK, just slow. I sent something from Japan on the 23rd via EMS and it only arrived in the UK today. Should just be a case of needing to be patient.

Anyone know how to buy from Mericari JP? Zenmarket don't appear to do it.
Some right bargains on there…do Buyee mark down for customs?
1 Jun 2020 20:41
You can buy from Mercari using buyee.
1 Jun 2020 22:04
yea,,but they wont mark down for customs :/
2 Jun 2020 06:31
A lot of the sellers on there won't sell to Proxy sites, reason it doesn't usually work with Zenmarket I guess
12 Jun 2020 11:14
do zenmarket mark items as gift ?
is there a way to covertly request they do so without raising suspicion
17 Jun 2020 10:25
Damn… just had a letter from Parcelforce asking me to complete ppwk for a package from JP.
Now, do I lower what I paid for it (through YJP) and let me charge me a small amount… or go with the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
They obviously have no idea on it's worth.

I bought it through buyee (first mistake). 2nd hand vis noragi and the auction image had it still wrapped up. I am not sure if tags are still on it, but i doubt it has a price tag as Vis don't anymore.
Love your idea though!…
