Can I buy Japanese Pokémon cards directly from Japan and have them shipped internationally?

Yes. Andromeda Collectables sells authentic Japanese Pokémon TCG, One Piece TCG, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and anime collectables and ships worldwide with full tracking. We are a direct seller — not a proxy or forwarding service — so you buy directly from us and we handle sourcing, packing, and export from Japan.

Are the products authentic?

Yes. All products are sourced directly from licensed Japanese distributors and retailers. We do not sell counterfeit or unauthorised reproductions. Sealed products are genuine factory-sealed Japanese releases.

How is this different from a proxy service like Buyee or ZenMarket?

Proxy services bid or buy on your behalf from third-party marketplaces and then forward the parcel. Andromeda Collectables is the seller — we stock and source the products ourselves, set transparent prices, and ship directly. That means clearer pricing, direct support, and flexible payment options such as deposits and installments that proxy services typically do not offer.

What payment options do you offer?

We offer full payment, deposit payments (pay a percentage upfront, such as 30%, with the balance due before shipping), installment plans (split the total into multiple payments), and pre-orders for upcoming releases. Accepted methods are credit and debit cards via Stripe, PayPal, and bank transfer via Wise.

Can I pre-order upcoming Japanese TCG releases?

Yes. Products marked as pre-order can be reserved before their release date, with an estimated arrival date shown on each product. Pre-orders can be secured with a deposit, and your price is locked in at the time of reservation.

How much does international shipping cost and how long does it take?

Shipping is calculated at checkout based on destination, weight, and carrier (EMS, Japan Post, or DHL depending on size and country). All shipments include tracking. Delivery times vary by destination and carrier and are shown during checkout.

Who pays customs duties and import taxes?

Import duties and taxes are determined by the destination country and are the buyer’s responsibility. We declare shipments accurately. Please check your country’s import rules for collectables before ordering.

Do you combine shipping for multiple orders?

Yes. Combined shipping is available so multiple items can be sent together to reduce shipping costs. Contact us or note it on your order if you would like items consolidated.

What currencies do you accept?

Prices are set in Japanese Yen (JPY) as the base currency, with US Dollar (USD) display available. Payment is processed in supported currencies at checkout.
