Currently living in Japan right now. Thanks for this now i am able to order it online instead chasing the dropa in pokemon stores. If someone interested for proxy services i might help out specially the ones lives in the US.
I'd love to consolidate my packages into one, but the UK has this dumb policy where if something costs more than £135 (even if the package is still very small) Royal Mail goes "oh nuu this packwage is too hweavy now can you pay mwe anothew £30 to carry it? OwO"
Imagine Norway. If something is the equivalent of 35 US dollars (less even, more 32), shipping included!!!, you pay a 10% tax + a flat 15 dollars fee of handling by the post. Makes it so you can’t buy anything from abroad without it getting ridiculously expensive in fees.
I just got the new vaporeon from vmax climax 😊 such a beautiful card! I’m turning to just buying singles and watching your videos to get the opening gamble feeling haha. Great video as always.
Hey man can you do an updated version with more shops right now? Ami doesn't sell alot of product right now, you know why? And Amazon JP only sells 2 different booster boxes to germany, this is so weird. Alot people get scammed or overpriced etc, so info on whatever shop really helps
Wish I knew about the neverending hidden fees, but other than paying way too much, my JP shipping experience was pretty good. Got here faster than some domestic deliveries do.
You da man, Julian! I bought two boxes so far off Ebay and my 2nd box had the Gold Chonky Chu so that was awesome! Paid $80 a piece after tax and shipping. Thank you for your wisdom kind sir 🙏
It's a huge bummer that every booster box is way over MSRP. But sometimes you can get bb for MSRP or slightly a little over. The crazy thing is. When a store puts out the product for say "$80 dollars." It almost immediately goes up $10 dollars the following week....
In Belgium we have it worse... First, there is the 4.7% import fees on top of the order value. And that's product value PLUS shipping! Not just the product's value! Then we have to pay 21% VAT on top of that. Cardmarket sells Vmax Climax for €95 on average. So it's pretty much impossible to buy it for cheap.
How is this different from for example the Japanmaster site? It will still have taxes for borders etc . Or does DHL not charge those costs? :p I doubt it
Just skimmed through the video as I'm already kinda aware of the methods and not been that active in the pokemon scene since the first of the year but looks like some good info, that being said last time I checked a few months ago basically every single box was out of stock or only available through lottery promotions, including single & rapid strike master. I got three volt tackle boxes for around 130 gbp at the start of January 2021 but towards the middle of the year or now I think they go for around 70 to 80 per box. Tag Team All Stars was also like 40-50 per box and then within a few months were over double, now I think the box prices are over triple what I could have got them for... missed out on a good opportunity there :D. Shiny Star V hasn't shot up in price yet I believe
Yo, are you sured amiami selling pokemon cards still? I didn't saw any cards from start of 2023😢 Any actual suggestions? May be trusted inst/disc stores?
Oh I'm subbed alright man. Thanks man this is awesome. I'm still going to learn Japanese though. Seems awesome to me. Can get boxes for 45 bucks instead of 80 here. Nice! Very appreciated Julian. Really though, like most things, research, learn and practice. Americans, as I am lol, but not quite like a lot. I will not go on eBay and pay $7.99 for 1 pack of Vmax Climax!!!!! Blows my mind. I just figure most have no idea how much extra they are paying. Sometimes ignorance must be blissful for some. Not in a mean way either.
Hey boss man would you mind doing a video on how to set up a Pokémon center Japanese account and to enter a for a raffle ( and if you have a email of Pokémon center Japan saying your win the raffle ) my cousin just move to Japan ( but she doesn’t speak the language) it also means I have an address to ship Pokémon stuff lol , thank you love your channel !!
I NEED MORE FISHIES!!! Hey Jluv sempai, it's always great to hear your advice and your experience in ordering more Japanese products. Here is my advice to gain more subs and it's free from me. Keep doing more educational Japanese name even if you are opening English pack openings and teach us more about Japan. I know it's more work for you and patience is key but I'm sure you can get those pesky viewers to keep on tabs on you for more Japanese content. Since travelling is limited at the moment, I wish I had the time to travel to Japan before, this is the best way for future travellers to learn and find out about Japan especially from someone who has been to Japan many times. Hopefully I'm able to at least visit Japan once it is ready again and I have a better understanding from your experience there. Keep it up sempai!
Hello its bit confusing for me it cannot find it on amiami and it seems to be the best one of them but it says that they don’t have Vmax climax BB so I wanted to ask you how to do it exactly sorry for interupting😅
How much does customs cost if you are ordering a single pokemon card on eBay from Japan? I've always wanted to order from Japan on eBay, but I'm afraid of being charged an arm and a leg for customs/import duties.
Thanks for the video! Would appreciate if you went into a little more details about the costs of forwarding companies. I don't think I've seen anyone in the Pokémon space compare these services in a way that makes it easier for audiences to figure out which one is best for them.
It's because it really depends on you. Your experience with services like buyee really depends on how much you buy. The more you buy and consolidate, the better your end cost will be. Also you need to understand the fees associated with buying something. I need to look into the reshipping companies that he mentioned. that seems like the end game, because they wouldn't charge you a fee for every item you buy, which is the real barrier if you're trying to buy singles
where can i get 50 boxes msrp pre order for japanese please? Whats msrp on japanese boxes? I won't pay a cent over 5500. This set is so cool, been thinking of buying japanese for a while. Does pokemon center in america have these? What is tenso, can you help me fill it out? How do you fill the address? Getting Japanese boxes is so hard.
One thing you didn't cover that you may want to mention next time is foreign transaction fees. More important than some realize! Maybe you mentioned it, I'm pretty tired at the moment
1. Have a friend in Japan 2. Start a Japanese Pokemon card resell business to fund your cardboard addiction... Joking aside, after the first minute I thought you were going to say: learn Japanese. The amiami tip is great, and I do appreciate all the warnings. I may try proxy services some time in the new year for vmax climax singles. The reason? The price difference is just too great. A common character rare is about 8USD on ebay right now. The same card could be as low as 200yen in japan. Even if 50% of sellers are scammers, I am still saving a ton of money. It's about probability - for cheaper items at some point buyer protection is just more expensive than trying my luck.

You guys got it rough in the UK, for real
It’s normally at 2,5%

W scam by the UK
Waiting for the singles guide!!
this was the first video I’ve seen from your channel but I have to say 30 seconds in and I subscribed immediately! Ty for your knowledge!
Cheers brother! People in Australia love marking up the prices
Don’t they ever!
Ayyy there I am 1:15 I bet mom and dad are so proud

I just got the new vaporeon from vmax climax 😊 such a beautiful card! I’m turning to just buying singles and watching your videos to get the opening gamble feeling haha. Great video as always.
Haha not a bad strategy. I’ve been buying a few singles the last week - things have come down heaps. Perfect time to fill gaps in my collection!
Damn I've been buying from amiami for years and somehow never knew they sold Pokemon cards. Looks like they no longer do this, I missed out lol
Love this, lots of good information in here.
And yes, please show us how you get your JP singles :)
Thank you! And definitely will 😉
thanks for the great info!
Such a great video Julian! Thanks for keeping it real, I can hear the Facebook scalpers screaming now. . . 🤣

I love how much you use the DP music in your videos I had to say it
Jluv LOL i remember asking you if you did a video like this on stream. Now you can finally say you did a video about this topic. Cheers to everyone!
Haha I do remember that. It might have been in the works when you asked 😉
Thanks for the info Jluv! Hopefully you get less questions about this in the future...but who knows lol.
Wish I knew about the neverending hidden fees, but other than paying way too much, my JP shipping experience was pretty good. Got here faster than some domestic deliveries do.
Hey m8, what are the sites he talked about that store your stuff up to 6 weeks and then send it to you?
Would appreciate a little help
You da man, Julian! I bought two boxes so far off Ebay and my 2nd box had the Gold Chonky Chu so that was awesome! Paid $80 a piece after tax and shipping. Thank you for your wisdom kind sir 🙏
Can you name the seller?
Thanks again JLuv. !!!
The man , the Legend !
Hi bro when you buy can you please show us because I can’t find pokemon card on amiami ❤
Great video, thank you for the useful info! Time to go fishing

The crazy thing is. When a store puts out the product for say "$80 dollars." It almost immediately goes up $10 dollars the following week....
That’s what we called the Gaijin tax.

Then we have to pay 21% VAT on top of that.

The importing situation in the EU is crazy, your fees are so high !!
Again Jluv is the peoples Pokémon collector! So thankful for all of the helpful information he shares!
Have you done the singles video yet?
I been shiny hunting chimchar since bdsp release so your choice of backing music is appreciated lol. Also great info, great vid. Thanks
Always love a non "promo" video.
Thanks for giving the neutral review.
Merry belated Christmas bro
Merry Christmas mate!! Hope you’ve been doin well 😁😁

Hi, buying Japanese booster box is simple enough but where do you get your singles???
Also going to Japan what do you think I should buy ? base set edition 1 classics ? Best to invest ?
something something 50 boxes at MSRP
Where do you buy Japanese booster boxes ?( 2:49 👁)
But how do you know if those stores are selling resealed/tampered card products?
First! Nice Video! 👍
Hey I'm just finding this 2 years later 2024 do you have any current suggestions on sites I liked and subbed 😂
Would like to see how you buy singles. I usually use buyee and buy off yahoo and mercari from sellers with a good amount of feedback
Yo, are you sured amiami selling pokemon cards still? I didn't saw any cards from start of 2023😢 Any actual suggestions? May be trusted inst/disc stores?

I’d love to see a video just for singles from Japan! I seem to prefer Japanese cards so may as well
Amiami has great pricing but orders are closed... for a lot of The Pokemon card products

You need to check back regularly. They're sold out on amiami at the moment but they restock once in a while. Join the discord ppl are helpful there
How much does customs cost if you are ordering a single pokemon card on eBay from Japan? I've always wanted to order from Japan on eBay, but I'm afraid of being charged an arm and a leg for customs/import duties.
I've ordered dozens of things from over seas. From booster boxes to singles. Never paid a dime for customs fees.
All AmiAmi cards are closed for some reason

Question is pokemon world uk trustable
I buy off Amazon for about 60$ usd
