Joko is back!
Some notes:
My school has become quite difficult, so there have been some changes for the sake of streamlining everything. This will also allow it to be clearer of what to expect, such as "when will my box ship?" or "when will Joko reply?". Thank you for understanding. Obtaining "business level" Japanese certification eats up A LOT of my time right now and is essential to me surviving out here.
Please check the first page to confirm if I am open to orders before messaging. I will write "OPEN" or "OCCUPIED" depending on how full my house is (or will be).
I now have a badass repair guy in case something unfortunate happens.
The rate is now 2400 yen per hour. This is roughly $18. Items over 100,000 yen are charged a flat 8%.
Testing boards is 1000 yen for my time involved (usually about 30 mins to set it all up, take videos, upload, break it all down and then submit). Testing in no way guarantees that the board will work on your setup, but it may help you sleep at night knowing it worked on my setup before being re-packed. It will also give me a chance to work with the seller or try to get the board repaired before it ships to you. This service is completely optional.
Shipping via Japan Post happens on Friday afternoon. Shipping via Yamato Express happens on Saturday and/or Sunday.
No very large items until I move. ALLS and Nu2 units are the biggest items I can have for now.
Communication will occur between 4 pm and 5 pm every day in Japan time. I will check messages at other times, but my replies will be reserved for that window. I may or may not write back at other times. I will try my best. Transactions already in progress will have priority outside the dedicated window.
When putting together large orders of multiple items from multiple sellers, I want everything ordered, packed, and shipped out within 7-10 days. Exceptions can be made for smaller items, but I need to keep stuff rotating to avoid cardboard city in my living room.
New customers must submit a Google Form to me to verify they know my terms and conditions. This ensures we are all on the same page about what I offer and what I don't.
I will be re-doing the request list this month. Please be on the lookout for confirmations. If I don't receive a reply within seven days, I'll consider it as being an inactive member for the time being. I won’t delete the item off the search list, but it will not be actively searched for. I have limited time, so I believe active members should have priority of it.
Last but not least, I have some stuff for sale right now and more to come. Please go check it out. The faster I sell stuff, the more room I will have for more orders. All money made is going towards moving costs as well.
