That is not going to be my main business. If it happens, we can discuss the details in DM.

Gotchya, thanks for answering my questions.
I never asked for tickets to @Joko3 and I don't think he provided any, but I might have forgotten. I know the price, because it's online, I know his fees and I pay. Also one option that I liked a lot from private proxies is that they can declare a lower value if someone asks, so I don't get hit with 23% import taxes on the total.

For Yahoo I provided screenshots of the Yahoo page showing the shipping to me in Japan being added to the Yahoo total. For stores that weren’t Yahoo I would screenshot the electronic receipt sent to my email. They’d be in Japanese of course, but the numbers are in English lol. I’d break it down: item, tax, shipping to me. For physical stores, a picture of the receipt. After shipping, pictures of the shipping receipt or shipping form with total written by Yamato staff and stamped with hanko.
As for the charging of my time, unless you were a higher volume customer like @Darksoft that no longer needed them every time, I also provided pictures of my packing process. If I spent 30-60 minutes making a custom box so I could get you down into a lower shipping bracket, I documented it. Usually that extra labor cost was still less than the next shipping bracket. My time included EVERYTHING involved in the order from comms, to ordering, to inspecting, testing if asked, packing, hand writing Yamato forms, and finally the act of going to and from Yamato. Usually two hours to three hours for most orders, but some could take five or more. I once took apart a whole steering wheel setup and sent in multiple packages due to the weight and size limits going to Australia. That was a fun one lol (I didn’t mind, the guy was an awesome repeat customer I got to meet in person when he vacationed in Japan).
The only cost people just had to trust me on was what I charged for packing materials in which I had a system that measured what I used versus the cost of it. It was then rounded up to the nearest 100 yen. After 30-40 orders, the gas and time for me and my wife to obtain everything at the home center was paid for by the round up.
