Here’s an ordering tip you must know before you order.
A very quick tip when ordering (saving money, ordering gachapon more efficiently):
Shipping rates are out of our control. Our website gets USPS rates based on the weight of your cart, and we display it to you. The way USPS handles rates is through a range of weights. For example, 1oz to 3oz is a certain range of weight with a specific shipping cost, while 4oz to 12oz is another range. These numbers are only estimates, not actual.
Each gachapon is anywhere between 1oz to 2oz. So to maximize value for shipping, try adding another gachapon to your cart and recalculate the shipping cost. If it stays the same, add another until the price of shipping increases. This is your rough estimate on how many gachapon you can order without paying extra to ship. Ordering only one gachapon is cost-prohibitive since you’re paying the same amount of shipping for only one gachapon when you can add one or two more and pay the same amount for shipping.
Of course, we ship out all orders for free over $65 within the US. It’s a cost effective way for anyone who wants to receive a decent amount of gachapon. We absorb the cost, usually anywhere from $6 and up (based on location and weight) so it is really like receiving one or two free gachapon.
Learning this, many other stores also use the same method so take this into consideration when placing an order. It can help you stretch your dollar more efficiently.
