One week group buy
Well, I have decided to open up a second group buy since I am almost finish with the previous one. I am accepting orders from both Toranoana and K-books. The deadline is from 10/28/12 - 11/3/12 at Midnight EST
Toranoana: Blue Exorcist
Tiger & Bunny
Hetalia: Axis Powers
Fate Series
( Yes, I am accepting orders from any fandom, I just place these links here so people can get to the site faster.)
K-Books: Blue Exorcist
Tiger & Bunny
Hetalia: Axis Powers
Fate Series
If you have a particular fanbook you wish to purchase, please provide the following information in the comment section:
Name of book/books with the URL for each book
How many copies
Your zip code ( if you live in the US or your country name if you live outside the US.)
Your FULL date of birth (if you are purchasing 18+ doujinshi)
Method of contact: PM or Email
Fees: There is a $8.00 service fee for placing the order at one webshop. ( Additional $4.00 if you wish to buy from a second webshop. ) Plus I have to charge paypal fees so that Paypal gets their money without cutting into the money for your item. ( Side note: I was using http://ppcalc.com/ however, it seems that the creator of that calculator has died and the calculator is not available anymore. I believe it was 2.9% + $0.30USD on the total for US customers and 3.9% + $0.30 on the total for Non US customers.) I will be using this calculator http://www.gregledet.net/ppfcm.html
In the case of the Doujinshi order: Fees are applied to the following:
1. the initial ordering of the books,
2.the settling of account when the books have arrived in the warehouse ( The amount due will be divide up amongst how many people have order from the webshop
3.Shipping from Japan to me ( Once again, Divided up amongst how many people are in the order)
4.Shipping from me to you ( I will get your shipping quote first from the post office and PM it you.)
Shipping: For US customers, I will ship your books in a bubble wrapped insulated envelope and place a track and confirm code on your package. I usually use regular mail cost from the USPS so the shipping total depends on two factors : Where do you live and how much it weighs. Once I have shipped it, I will send you the track and confirm code so you can track it.
Non US customers: I will ship your package the same way I do with the US customers but I can not place track and confirm on your package. However, if I need to track your package, I have to wait 30 days after I have mailed it out to use the customs number. I have not had to resort to this but I am making you aware of it.
FAQ:
Why do I need to provide my FULL birthdate on the Doujinshi order?
To make sure you are legal. If you are not over the age of 18, I will not order books for you that has the 18+ symbol on the page. I do not need it if the book doesn't have the 18+ on the listing.
Will I have to pay you $8.00 dollars for each book?
No. the $8.00 is a one time flat service fee regardless how many items you want to buy from Toranaona. However, if you need me to get you a book from K-Books , I will have to charge an additional $4.00 to place that order.
Why did you increase your service fee?
Because I am currently busy with school so my time isn't freed up like the last time around.
So I would have to plan ahead when the books arrive to go to the post office and ship your books. I depend on transportation to get around and this helps me cover the costs.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes
I sent you a message on Livejournal but you haven't answered, why haven't you returned my message?
Once again, I must point out I am busy with school so if you send me a message, I will try to return your message after I get home. I will keep you updated as much as I can.
So I am placing an order for the Doujinshi group buy, Do I have to pay in Yen or US Dollar?
Celga accepts payments in US Dollar. As of this writing, Celga is listing the exchange rate at 75 yen = $1. So I will be sending you invoices in US Dollar
I can't find my book on Toranaona but I did find it on K-Books, can you order it from there?
I can order it for you from those sites however Celga charges a fee if you place an order from different sites. Please note that if you really want this book, you will be required to cover that fee if you are the only one wanting a book from there. If there are more than one person who needs a book from there, then the webshop fee will be divide up against how many people are ordering from there along with shipping from K-books to Celga's warehouse. I also will have to add an additional $4.00 service fee.
I placed an order but I need to cancel, can I do that?
You can cancel your order before the pre-order deadline ends. Once I place the order, I can not refund you and you will be responsible for making sure you cover the costs that comes along. Make sure that your bills and expenses come first before you place your order.
I made my payment and consult with the master list, why haven't you updated it?
I usually place the progress in the master list on how the order is going.
Example:
7/28 - place order, Books have been ordered.
8/7 - Books have arrived, invoice has been received, and sent out invoices to customers
Now if I don't update the master list within a period of two weeks, it will be due to one of two things:
1. I am waiting for people to send payment so the order can get paid.
2. I may not have a chance to access my computer because of school work.
( I will check my inbox one a day to see who has paid their share and I will send reminder notices to people who have yet to pay.) I will try to update as much as I can.)
Thank you for your time!
