>>4406757I don't know what math you are doing.
Japanese VAT is 10% on everything. A 1173 volume would become 1290, not 1210.
Fees, even the cheaper one you can find, let's say 100 yen, are still an addition.
So it only comes up to the international shipping. And you're telling me a random forwarder / proxy service can get a better deal with couriers than Amazon?
I also never got shipment options from Amazon. It's always only DHL.
And it won't make me order more than 50 items at once, so I don't know how you could order 70.
So, unless Amazon has very different ways to treat different countries, this doesn't add up.
As I said before my most recent experience is:
- 30 items from Amazon: 127,60 €
- 7 items from a proxy: 137,40 € + 5806 yen + 10% VAT on every item
They're not comparable.
