It would’ve been nice to inform…

It would’ve been nice to inform international customers of the additional cost total for shipping. I went blindly into purchasing my items and didn’t know I had to spend an additional $45 for shipping. Please put the estimated order actual cost of the international shipping

Couldn't be happier

Everything was super simple to understand and process. Product was delivered even faster than I expected. Happy to have something that would normally only be available in Japan at a decent price!

Double charged for shipping.

The package came timely and with no damage. The reason I'm giving a low rating is because in the middle of shipment, I got an email from WorldShopping I need to make a 2nd payment for shipping. I've never seen or heard of this before. Why couldn't the total shipping cost be presented during the original purchase. Unless they change this 2nd charge practice, I'm not going to use WorldShopping again as this practice is sketchy to me.

Reply from WorldShopping

Dear Customer,

Thank you for using WorldShopping and sharing your feedback.
We sincerely apologize for the frustration or surprise caused by the additional charges after your initial payment.

Please allow us to clarify that our payments are processed in two steps, as our fees are structured as below:

WorldShopping will charge the fees as below:
A: item total amount
B: Domestic shipping within Japan fee - The domestic shipping fee will be determined according to the policy of the shop.
C: Purchase agency fee - 10% of Order price total.
D:International shipping fee - Actual cost of EMS or Other delivery service charge
E: International shipment handling fee - 500 JPY (per package).

Because the international shipping fees (D and E) are calculated based on the exact size and weight of the package once it arrives at our warehouse, they cannot be finalized during your first payment at the initial checkout.

While we include notes about this two-step payment on the cart page, we are truly sorry if it was not clear or easy to notice. We will use your valuable input to improve our service transparency in the future.

Warm Regards,
WorldShopping Customer Support Team

Never again with worldshopping

My shipping and handling was not included in the purchase. When the item was ready I had to pay 67 usd. Ok international I get it. But the email said that if I didn’t fulfill by a certain time period that my $200 watch would be disposed of. WHAT, and DHL was the carrier. The worst shipping ever.let me know that I had to fill out a customs form. Which I didn’t know had to be calculated in JPY rejected my form. So I did it again in yen well now my sons watch is sitting in Los Angeles and no one will give me any right answers at DHL. I might get a better response if I tweet the president at this point
I’m Never buying anything from this company ever again
