well at the end it's the same bid service method .. you're just using another service, i'm sure that from japan is even more expansive than bid service.jp ..

[Chrome Hearts]

I posted similar info on another forum regarding this matter.

It's not only item price + shipping + 6% transaction fee.

THERE'S A COMMISSION FEE FROM "From Japan" THAT'S UNSPECIFIED.

So again, it's (ITEM PRICE + SHIPPING + COMMISSION FEE {FROM JAPAN}) + 6% TRANSACTION FEE.

Most users of the other bape web site are not reading the small print and are getting their panties in a wad.

i know.. but still it's probably cheaper than juno's service cuz he ask 10% of the itemprice..+ shipping to his house+ shipping to your house+ tax!! which is 5% in japan..

haha but hey just wanted to let you guyz know..:)

[lecruciverbiste]

Could you give us a real example ? Final price for a 180 usd item ?

[KaoKlai]

We confirmed with stay246.com.
There was a stock of this item.

The total amount is as follows:
Item Price:29190yen
FROM JAPAN commission:3000yen
Oversea shipping(Via EMS):5400yen
Transaction fee(6%):2256yen
Total:39846yen

Is the above price acceptable?
If it is acceptable we will charge from your credit card.

thats what my mail said..

[Mackland]

thats more worst than my english

[Denzel]

but with from japan, they wont makr the item as gift with a minimum value, so you could be subject to import tax which is another 20% in the EU.

[lecruciverbiste]

That's what i was sayin ... bid service is better, your "great news" is nothing but a marketing attempt, juno's still #1

[debs 168]

i forgot the exact amount, but you're gonna spend almost 100 dollars more than the amount the item costs on the site.

if its something SUPER rare and you can't find it anywhere else, then ok, i understand, but if its something that isn't that rare then naaaaaa...smh.

[KaoKlai]

who/what is juno and what is it that he/it does?

[ChiLoZ]

i was just tryna help man.. haha
Don't shoot the messenger..

anyways.. juno's service is still way overpriced.. you're better off buyin on ebay than through juno..
cuz he asks 10% of the item price..+ shipping to his house+ shipping to your house+ tax which is 5% in japan..

if you convert the value through www.xe.com you'll soon realize juno's rippin you off..

last year i wanted to buy a kaws camo hoody through him.. the total amount was like 350 dollars( inc. shipping and stuff) juno charged me like 450!

That's what i was sayin ... bid service is better, your "great news" is nothing but a marketing attempt, juno's still #1

a hoody for 247 USD (29190YEN)

39.846 YEN = 338 USD

juno: for example 247 USD hoody (29190YEN) = 345 USD (included shipping and fees)

it is quiet the same price.
