    We are continuing to send out shipping invoices, thank you for your patience
    We apologize that it's taking slightly longer this time. Panda started school this week, and his Game Dev and C++ classes are not going easy the first week. Valicious wishes she could help, but stupid useless hands are not allowing that. We are forsaking sleep tonight in an effort to finish packing, weighing, and invoicing for all 30+ packages.

    Added a description of our Digital Copies service to the OP.  
     
    After running more simulations that I can count, we have also reduced our fees from 13/15% to 10/13%!
     
    Digital copies: Along with any cassette/VHS purchases, we offer high-quality digital copies made with professional-grade equipment free-of-charge. We realize that not everyone has the means to play these aging formats, but we aim not to let that get in the way of you being able to enjoy them!

    We would certainly be able to get exclusive shop bonuses and web-shop things, as those are both things that we can get through FromJapan. Live-limited stuff is a no-go, unfortunately, since that would require someone in Japan to go to concerts. If you want to pay to fly Panda to Japan, then I'm sure he'd pick up whatever you want though

    -NOVA- reacted to colorful人生 in Discussion for my crazy plan for a shopping service with free stateside shipping   
    Additionally, as someone from the U.S, I'm super interested in this. 
    A 12% fee on each of my 6 CDs (in my most recent shipment) would amount roughly to $7. My FJ overseas fee for that shipment cost $33.
     
    If you're able to chop shipping fees like that... 
     


    This would be extremely helpful since I buy more stuff on webshops than I do on yahoo or mbok (b/c specials). 
     
    That being said, I'd like to hear more about the logistics.

    -NOVA- reacted to Valicious in Discussion for my crazy plan for a shopping service with free stateside shipping   
    Ok guys, here's my grand plan.  I welcome any questions and feedback as I'm probably explaining this terribly.  The purpose of this thread it to start discussion and get feedback.
     
    Introducing a new type of shopping service!  One without prohibitive shipping charges!  This is primarily geared toward people in the USA, but there is a way to make it work for those outside the US.
     
     
    It operates in the same way as a regular shopping service in that you email us your desired item, we'll send you back a price quote, you'll send us the money over PayPal, and we'll buy the item.  (We plan on making a webpage with a fee calculator to minimize back-and-forth messaging.)
     
    At the cost of slightly-higher per-item fees, customers in the US will pay shipping from New Mexico rather than Japan.  We only charge an extra 15% for items under 1000 yen, and 12% for items over 1000 yen.  (on top of what FromJapan charges)  The customer ends up saving a lot of money because the additional per-item fees pale in comparison to international shipping costs.
     
    Q: How are you able to do this?  How do you make money from this?  This seems too good to be true.
    A:  The short answer is, we don't expect to make money from this.  We have been brainstorming ways to make owning VK easier for the average fan for over two years now.  While RarezHut's webshop and streams do help this, it doesn't help the fan who wants newer releases.  Leveraging our existing relationship with FromJapan, we are able to charge the smallest-possible per-item price increase over multiple orders in order to pay for international shipping.
    Is this a lot of work for what MAY be a few cents profit?  Yes, but we believe it will benefit the health of the community.  Could this spectacularly backfire and end up COSTING you money?  If we only get one of two orders then yes it very well will, but I believe it is still worth pursuing.  Great reward (a service to MH and the fandom as a whole in thise case) has never come without that initial leap into the unknown.
     
    Q: How much longer would this whole process take compared to if I were to just order things by myself?
    A: One of the ways we get a lower per-item shipping cost is that we end up shipping giant crates with hundreds of items.  Our giant crate shipments are typically once/month, so we will announce a date when our next shipment will go out, and people have up until a week before that date to place their order.  We use FedEx priority to get the package stateside, which only takes about 3 days.
     
     
    LET'S NOT FORGET OUR NON-US CUSTOMERS
    Paying a higher-per item fee PLUS shipping from the US doesn't make sense.  What some of RarezHut's EU costumers have chosen to do is have us order their items like normal, then include them in the shipment that they buy off our streaming auctions or our store.
    The offer to combine shopping service orders with stream and store orders extends to our US costomers as well of course.
