  Prices

  When Japan is actually cheaper than PH

  The JP price on the screenshot is not what you pay. Landed cost is product + local tax + shipping or operator fee + PH last mile. Sometimes it still wins. Sometimes you just got baited by yen.

  Mercari

  Mercari items you cannot buy in PH

  Mercari is Japan’s huge C2C app. A lot of what people want from there is not on Shopee, not in Greenhills, and not coming to a local pop-up.

  Shipping

  Air vs sea cargo, without the fairy tale

  Air is faster and usually more expensive per kilo. Sea is cheaper and slow. Food, batteries, and anything you will cry about if it sits in a warehouse should not go sea just to save a few hundred pesos.

  Routes

  Operator vs proxy vs forwarding

  Three different jobs. People mash them into “pasabuy” and then get mad when the rules do not match.
