Just wanted to follow up on my experience with FromJapan. Not a positive one. First, they categorically refuse to declare a lower value on the customs form. So if I buy a small tape for 15,000 yen, this is 100% sure the customs will ask for VAT, and the postal service will also charge for admin fee of 20usd per package. Got 4 packages from them, and yes, all of them were caught and charged to me around 40usd extra.

Then, the storage limit, which is fair, 45 days, but there's no last warning telling you the item will be discarded. Well, too bad to me, my Battle Garegga rev. 2016 OST is at 46 days today and the guys are closed until Monday, so I can expect the soundtrack to have been dumped already. I'm sure there will be no flexibility on this either. I find this quite ridiculous. Other services will keep the item and start charging XX yen per day.

I'm going back to JapanShoppingService, and looking for another service for the near future.
