This is great info! I have a Sendico account but haven't ordered anything yet because I was hesitant not knowing the process and security. This video helps me a lot to understand how to use the service and I appreciate that. I'm especially happy Sendico will hold on to my purchases until I'm ready to have everything shipped at once! That's an awesome feature and so cheers to them for that! Now I just need to come up with a list of what I want (and what I can afford) to pick up and I'll be set!
It's really fun to see fellow collectors using the system I use to purchase from another country: I'm from Uruguay (South America) and I use a proxy to buy stuff from the US and Europe. I receive my stuff in Miami, Florida, and then consolidate them into one package (we have some serious limitations here about how many packages and how much they cost we can import before paying huge taxes).
I wouldn't know how to comment about other countries... But with importing to the UK (My country), particularly for more expensive purchase(s), doing this might not entirely be a great idea in one respect. As importing everything into 1 parcel could come with some massive import duties (Along with the VAT). Everything costs 20% VAT and parcels with a total value less than £135, thats all you pay. But over that, the costs pile up as you'll still be paying the VAT but additional import duties also. Those costs go significantly higher past a £600 total value. So for your UK audience (Or other countries with similar import rules), maybe split the parcels for every £135 that you spend. That way you only pay the VAT.
I think the most expensive box I've ever paid for was 500$ for a massive PlayStation 3 collection. It was 181$ in shipping. But it was the best experience I've ever had
@@MachoNachoProductions I was thinking about using the Cousin Avec this year with the Mr Saturn cover for work since the regular cousin seems too thicc for me. I Decided to use the Mother HON for personal use since I’ve got a stockpile of Mother themed covers dating back to 2018. Once you start using a techo, its nearly impossible to stop. Happy holidays my friend!
Buyee allows PayPal without add money to a wallet. Probably the biggest plus. Buyee shipping prices are ridiculous. Sometimes they offer shipping coupons or coupons off the auction.
I love buying stuff from Japan. I remember wanting to buy stuff from Japan as a kid, but I got that much wanted privilege when I became an adult and have been happily making purchases for Japanese goods left and right. I also want to go to Japan which is on my bucket list of places to go.
Great video! Word of Warning For those buying PVMs or CRTs etc please pay attention to where the insurance option is on the SHIPPING PROVIDER page which is before the page that has protective packaging etc. it changed location and I couldn't find it on a PVM parcel I ordered. I accidentally created the parcel, immediately asked if I could add insurance from the mistake, and was denied. It arrived broken as if it had been dropped on a corner and I'm out the cash and PVM.
There ought to be a service like this, but for European media, especially games. That's because some of us own older consoles that are region locked, and we don't have the necessary tools to modchip them, and there are more PAL users than NTSC worldwide. While Ebay might be a good spot for finding PAL games, the whole process used by Sendico might be helpful in finding more affordable games.
I appreciate the information you share, I recently discovered your channel. For some time I have been looking for an orange game cube (I had a blue one as a child but absurdly I sold it) and I liked this option of bringing them directly from Japan, since the color I want is not sold in Latam. The question, is there any store in Japan that you recommend to me to look for equipment like the Game Cube that is in very good condition? something like Near Mint? Thanks and greetings from Chile
Any update on when or if youd ship to Canada? Last few itmes youd had woulda been amazing to own but it looks as though the store is restricted to only ship within the usa?
Seems great the "easy to get stuff from yapan at great deals" part, but I see fee after fee, first a fee for adding funds 3.7%(?), and then another fee per package that gets shipped to the warehouse, then import taxes when it arrives in your country (which in my country is 25% of the total value of the item INCLUDING shipping, + an additional "handling fee") so the costs add up. I will check it out some time, but I need to pay extra attention to the total costs.
Say you snipe and win 50 items for a ridiculously low price at auction which results in Sendico posting a massive box. How do we or Sendico prove the cost to customs to show we aren't trying to scam import fees. Surely they would see our claim and receipts vs the box full of new items and try and call BS?!
I have not had the greatest experience with them. I did find a whole bunch of good deals but when I ordered everything, they were never delivered and it has been 10 weeks so far. I am not very helpful.
@MachoNachoProductions I chose the cheapest option. I am aware that it would take longer but even so, it stated that it would be about six weeks. So I figured even a little longer would be okay. But now that we're almost at 3 months. It does not look like I will receive it. Not even really upset about the money, was just excited to get some hard-to-find items in the USA
@@yaakovshereshevsky6542 Surface can take 3+ months to arrive, so this is within standard expectation for this type of shipping! You should still get your items, let us know if you don't!
I would love to be able to use Sendico but can't in my country, shpping prices are like yours in the US but without insurance, I don't want to go through that risk to lose everything bought + the money. Just in case, I know it's not Sendico's fault lol
I’m not sure if Sendico is the same as Buyee but the insurance in the US doesn’t really provide any protection for retro or tech items even if destroyed, notoriously it’s just for them unless it’s clothes.
Thanks for the information! I wanted to bid on some stuff but the Bid button is always greyed, no matter which article I see. Do you know why does that happen?
@Macho Nacho Productions awesome video! I have a question. I'm planning on buying a Japanese Nintendo DS Lite, is it possible to homebrew it and change the region to USA? I look forward to hearing back from you. I would greatly appreciate your help with this. Thanks in advance!
serious, its been semi-hush in the community but people ordering stuff they truly cherish and enjoy. I use to import years ago but was expensive but tokyo japan(I dont even name the source) has hella good deals but prices are slowly increasing.
Now I know where the LT I was about to win went. These RUclipsrs are ruining everything! They already ruined the video games expos in the U.S. by expending all the money they get from youtube and make the prices rise like crazy and now they will ruin normal people to buy from Japan as well by making this kind of video. Our fault too to watch them
@@erichnardelli unfortunately, the “good deals” were just not going to last forever. You can’t pin it on the content creators since the proxy services are the ones promoting things which you can’t blame them for as they see it as a huge untapped resource.
@@Daniel-it1dp In this case and my opinion is that I prefer when he mods or fix something than promote anything like that. Again, any video game show is horrible nowadays youtubers have early access to the event, they get the best deals and again it's an unfair competition as they buy from the youtube money, here an example he bought this LT when it was missing 5 minutes and it's something for "normal" people that works a lot to have 1k to pay, for youtubers is much easier. Than promoting and making the prices rise like crazy everywhere.
So when you visit Japan and buy a bunch of stuff, do you just mail it back to your home instead of bringing it on the plane? I am planning on going there someday and I know I will be splurging on figures and model kits and some of those boxes are huge.
@@Qwerty10254 I've bought things from Japan (from online stores like Hobbylink Japan) and the duty is hefty. The thing is though, some figure and kit boxes are massive. Definitely not be able to fit in with luggage. And I know I would splurge so much that a second suitcase wouldn't fit everything I would get.
I would definitely bring an extra suitcase with you to haul everything back. It will be cheaper. Just be sure to check the weight limits of checked baggage for your airline and also may be a good idea to bring a portable luggage scale with you too to weigh your luggage.
I've been twice so far. I usually pack half the clothes needed and do laundry while I'm there to free up space for trinkets. At least in the usa they usually ask you at customs what you've purchased and the dollar amount. My first trip I just 300 bucks and I wasn't required to pay anything extra.
@@MachoNachoProductionsDid you get paid by Sendico to make this video? You should disclose this at the start. This whole video feels like an advertisement lmao
He complains about taxes but here in Brazil our imports taxes are 90%, not to mention the customs taxes which you pay just because your items crosses the borders.
@@W00fer But unfortunately there is only pure advertising here. In the past there were interesting videos that also fit the topic of retro and mods, today only one mod is presented that he has just received because he gets paid for that.

Been using them for years, the bargains you can find with some patience and hunting is amazing! Love em!
This website is is the ebay reseller's dream come true. With stuff like this going on, expect Japan to be cleared out of deals pretty soon.
I’ve used them twice and they’ve been brilliant. The only downside is my country’s insane import taxes.
Brasileiro?
I was also thinking about that. Probably also high import charges here as well. Too bad
UK
@@alankebab2187 How much is the import taxes in UK?
@@LCNitrohuezilian?

And now prices drive up, preciate it, thats what I need, the Japanese market getting priced like the American one.
Used them for vintage radio control stuff and they have always been excellent.
Nice!

I only buy my Japanese retro from Italian scalpers
There is a company doing that in the usa aswell, so good for people not from that country
Anyone can say to me what’s the difference between sendico, buyee and fromjapan?
Thanks for the content Tito!
I rocked the Franklin Badge cover for my 2023 Techo…always knew you had good taste ;D
Keep on rockin!
Thanks dude! I love my hobonichi so much. Been religiously using it since 2021! Have you tried the cousin A5? Cheers!

Very cool stuff. The gaming in Japan is so awesome

Yesssss can’t wait to see your x68k series
Was excited after watching this video to try order a few pieces to find out they don't ship to the EU or the UK anymore 😭
We still ship to the EU and the UK! Nothing has changed in that regard 🙇
This is the next best thing to treasure hunting from hard off to hard off!
Looks like a good series. I'll have to check it out. :)
I hope one day i can go to Japan and buy stuff directly from there. Ordering Online is just not the same^^

I had the Sansui controller it was my favorite.
It’s a pretty sweet controller! I’ll actually will be modding this for a different project. Can’t wait 👍
Excellent tutorial! I always wanted to know how this all worked. 😃👍🔥
The pc engine shuttle looks sick and the LT is like something out of GITS
Just picked up a 37000 ps2. Considering adding on a copy of pokemon green while im at it.
Did you hear about the Frogboy Color? New lcd screen and GBA form factor built around a GBC
Nice backpack, dawg 👍🏾
How to buy green tea and match from Japan?
It feels crazy to think I could buy a copy of Fate Unlimited Codes for only $6 compared to $80 from a shop in NY.

Does Sendico allow us to lower the item price in order to avoid huge import fees? By the way, is there any Japan proxy still doing that?
Nice
yup been ordering from tokyo japan, before that source gets ruined next...and prices skyrocket and ruin collecting.

Items not insured travelling long distances sounds terrible. 😖
Oh man that crazy, I though they insure all packages over a certain dollar amount
Thanks for the information! I wanted to bid on some stuff but the Bid button is always greyed, no matter which article I see. Do you know why does that happen?
You need to put money in your wallet first!
Didnt you already do a tutorial video like this before?
I did, but they recently updated their site and added some features which I go over on this video as well as their order form feature
do they ship to The Netherlands?
If you are in Japan have a Japanese person buy what you want, they will get a far better deal.
You have to pay the sendico commission if you bid or if you win the auction?
If you win the auction.
Only when you win the auction
Americans are single handily destroying the Japanese retro game market
I was sold until he said $28 on shipping 😂
