FAQ
Q.01: Can you find any book or other things or do you just find manga?
A.01: I specialize in manga and anime related merchandise (figures included), but I can look for anything for you.
Q.02: Can you get me new books?
A.02: Yes, but note that because of the system I use, you will be getting the book roughly 1-2 months (closer to 2 months) from when it gets shipped to the U.S. address. So consider this wait time very carefully. I can acquire them from local stores if you prefer to have it asap.
Q.03: Can you get me Western or English author books?
A.03: Yes, but I would prefer not newly published ones. You can get those cheaper and faster at local bookstores. Or I can get them from the local stores for you too. I would prefer finding old books for you. Or out of print or rare books that are not sold in local book stores.
Q.04: What are the payment methods?
A.04: Paypal, Bank Deposit, and in some cases where an initial deposit is required - Globe Prepaid load.
Q.05: How do I get the items?
A.05: You can have it picked up, we can schedule to meet up, or I send it through a courier (at the buyer's expense).
Q.06: What's the price breakdown?
A.06: Item cost + 15% finder's fee + Php50 box fee (if any) + optional fee (courier charge were applicable). Some items may require an initial deposit for reservation purposes. This deposit will be deducted from the item cost in the final computation so it is not an extra charge.
Q.07: What's a box fee?
A.07: This will be calculated based on the amount of space your item/s take up in the box that will be shipped from the U.S. to the Philippines. Typically, the fee will be Php50 per book. If your order is larger than a book or odd shaped, the box fee will be more.
Q.08: Do you provide discounts if I order a lot?
A.08: The 15% finder's fee may be lowered depending on the bulk of your order. No other discounts are applicable as the box fee is a constant fee to have the item shipped here. If the book is found locally, of course the box fee is not applicable.
Q.09: How long do I have to wait to get my item/s?
A.09: If the item is found or purchased in the U.S., it will take at least 4-5 weeks from the cut off shipping date. Items will be boxed and shipped each month and will arrive here 4-5 weeks after.
Q.10: Is there a deadline for when my items get finalized?
A.10: Yes, it changes depending on when orders come in but there's always one roughly every two months due to expected preorders. Everything that is not finalized by then will be included in the batch for the following iteration's deadline.
If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to comment, pm, or email me at moch4holic at gmail dot com.
Orders can be sent in the same manner.
I will contact you via email with regular updates on the search progress. Please note that some deals can be time sensitive so make sure you check your email on a regular basis. If I don't hear from you within 24 hours, I will send an alert through text message.
