I use Buyee to buy some collectibles that are only available in Japan, so I basically have no other choice.
Fees are pretty high, but service is accurate and quick. I would recomand!
When I checked my package, wasn't working condition. I even bought insurance from buyee, now they are saying all the electric items are not covered.
They refused to talk with seller as well.
I collect all sorts of hobby related goods from videogame and series. I've been using Buyee for years for that, and with the addition of Mercari service, my buying has increased due to more options. They're constantly improving, from adding shipping options to adding more stores to buy from.
I love their promotions, makes it easier to get those items I've been eyeing for a while. They always have something going on. Their features for buying, bidding, shipping, etc., are really helpful, it makes it easy to find what I'm looking for.
Their CS is fast and helpful. They're always nice and make an effort to solve any questions/issues I have.
I've had a few problems over the years, 2 misquoted shipping quotes, and they were big boxes. They should double check the weight before giving the shipping options when it comes to stuff like that. It's not a nice surprise to find out you have to pay more.
Also combined shipping from same seller is something that they should really think about implementing.
It's not perfect but Buyee's pros easily outweigh the cons.
Buyee has definitely helped my collection increase, which is why I keep coming back.
I love using Buyee to buy from Mercari Japan!
Other Japanese buying services charge a fortune for buying from Mercari's JP market, but Buyee is very VERY reasonable, and I've managed to buy items that I would never otherwise been able to get from Japan!
I recommend Buyee to everyone shopping for items from Japan!
They ban my account, maybe because I used their 5% off with "99 times of uses per user".
I tried to order something 3 weeks ago, and I tried to order when they have discounts with Rakuten, then their website f***ed up and I failed to get one.
Then this week finally the seller gets some stuff again, I purchased with their 5% off coupon, which I only used once, I only have one account, they ban me.
Actually I didn't notice I was banned until i found the money paid got back.
I tried to login, no help. Try to reset password, no help.
Asked customer service, they spent two days and told me my account is banned, they can't tell me why.
Think about it, you have something really hot and want to buy them, how much time is wasted because their stupid techs, and their customer service.
AND you think the order submission is automated, because everything seems to be like that, it is not, there are hours of delay after you submit. Is this website actually operated by real human labors?
Just avoid them. They are NOT trustworthy. A waste of your time. Just avoid them especially you are pursuing for something with limited availability, they will f*** up the timeline, and slow in response. Google Translate is your best friend, you don't need them.
Fake product and told won't be compensated.They charged shipping costs again even they charged in purchasing.
A parcel of mine had gone missing. Based on the tracker it is still in Japan. Buyee took 3 months before filing a report and another 6 months before it was refunded.
Buyee is the easiest way to buy many toys and figures from the auction in Japan.
Customer service is a great service and friendly customer support, awesome experience!
I've used Buyee multiple times, mostly to buy anime and band goods from Mercari and Yahoo auctions Japan. Buyee is easy to use and they often have useful coupons. Highly recommended!
I have had many issues with the warehouse not consolidating packages properly I receive boxes with lots of wasted space which only makes the box larger and a little heavier and that cost me also Japan Post offers discounts on the amount of shipments you do and buyee charges the full rate and must be keeping the discount, I had dozens if of emails with there support and it is a challenge to get my concerns across, I have started using a competitor since the offer the discounted shipping and are offer an extinction on storage and buyee has not done anything to ecommend this due to covid-19 situation even after being this to there attention.
I found over ther a lot of items, hard to find in Europe... so that´s the reason to shop there. All my purchases had been positive, and I hope to be the same in the future.
Worst online company ever, I bought my items 2 months ago, till now I didn't receive it. Also, they cheat you with the delivery charges and charge you twice - claiming that they received the shipment on two-parts. Till now I didn't receive my baby diapers
PLEASE NEVER USE BUYEE.JP
IT IS THE WORST
WORST COMPANY EVER
SHAME ON YOU
I really appreciate the site and the possibility of combine ship. Different ship are possible. From cheaper for expansive. Great site. Always come the correct item never lost one
The communication is 5 star!
I only miss a better automatisated logistics and much more better price for the international shipping. That gives a big limit for the shopping from Europe... :(
In february i purchased a twice lightstick for their concert from jyp japan and used buyee for the international shipping. I was not informed of any of their terms & conditions before or after purchase nor were their terms and conditions stated anywhere on their website. I realized that it had been awhile since i paid for my item and saw that i had gotten several emails about paying for shipping arrangements (which i have never even heard of before.) i emailed back saying i wanted to cancel my item because the shipping was $35 + many other ludicrous fees. They stated that i cannot cancel my order because once the purchase has been conducted, any changes or cancellations are not accepted (again never heard of not being able to cancel a package, ridiculous). After several emails back and forth, they are now stating that if i would like to discard my package i have to pay for the package again and pay for several absolute ridiculous fees, most of which seem to simply be made-up for them to make even more money off of users. I also tried removing MY credit card from my account on their website and am unable to because of outstanding payments, which again is absolutely insane and considering i own that credit card i should be able to remove it no matter what. Please never ever ever use this website as you will only be met with fees upon fees, unhelpful customer support workers, and scamming.
I bought something from here under the guise that I would get ¥5,000 coupon off (about $40 usd) of shipping. Super awesome right?! Not. When I selected this coupon, they sent my package with a tracking number. The number said for days "returned to sender". I thought this was some sort of mistake and waited for it to update.
It didn't update. Buyee let me know that my package was returned because the weight on the package was inconsistent with the labeling. Ok. Super frustrating and not my fault so I will contact support. I contact saying basically "hey. You guys messed up and now my package won't even arrive on time and I already used the coupon so I can't use it again for shipping. Can I get another?"
The nerve. They said "no it clearly says that if the package is returned to us for any reason you won't get another coupon" WHAT? How is it MY fault that someone in THEIR company wrote the wrong label? Now I have SUPER delayed shipping AND have to pay $40 out of pocket, which had I known prior I probably wouldn't have bought anything at all.
Anyway, I'm convinced it was a purposefully made mistake to avoid having to give me any shipping for free which is really $#*!ty by this company.
I always fancy things from japan and with buyee its very easy to get anything you wanted. I would recommend anyone that wants to buy from japan to try it out.
I have started using Buyee to bid on Yahoo Japan auctions several years ago.
Never a problem, never a issue. Always flawless service!
I recommend using it!
Buyee is a great service tool for getting items from Japan right to your doorstep! It's easy to use and cheap as well. Everyone has to use the Buyee service!
Answer: It's a scam, at least to my definition. They lost an item I bought and claimed the warehouse is "preparing it". When I stated that I wanted a refund because it was lost (warehouse maintenance for 2+ weeks?), they told me tough luck and that they wouldn't do anything.
Answer: Well the thing is they do correspond with you, but either way they don´t understand what they wrote or they just having fun with writing useless sensless E-Mail which completley ignore the context of what you wrote to them before which is just frustrating for everybody, cause the might think, hey we are overseas... so what can they do right?!
Answer: Yes there is a website called neokyo but I think it no longer supports Mercari Japan. Best for Amazon japan and other websites. I've heard the shipping is a bit cheaper
Answer: One where I was really happy and wasn't drowned by fees? No.
Answer: Didn't know at the time when I used them that there were alternatives.
