New to using a proxy for figures and anime merch. Did two mercari japan orders that went fine so far, a small figure that arrived in about 10 days and a keychain set that consolidated without issues once I figured out where the option was in the dashboard. Now I want to try yahoo auction japan but the bidding side through a proxy confuses me compared to regular store purchases. How does the per-auction fee usually work, is it charged per auction you win or per bid you place? And the deposit part, do you prepay the full estimated amount before bidding or just a portion? If I win from different sellers, I'm assuming each item ships to the warehouse separately and then I consolidate into...

Tamashii web exclusives are the reason I need a proxy to buy anime figures from japan. Regular retail SHF releases are easy enough to get from US stores or Amazon Japan with direct shipping. But web exclusives only sell through Tamashii's JP shop which means you either need a japanese address or a proxy service. Been using Buyee for these and the total keeps climbing. Figure retails for 7,000 to 9,000 yen, add 500 yen proxy fee, domestic shipping to the warehouse, international shipping on top. By the time everything arrives I'm usually at $80 to $100 for something that retailed around $50 equivalent in japan. Keep wondering whether a different proxy changes the math enough to no...

Seeing a lot of y’all giving up hope and considering self deporting. Many of us been out of work for months and have been in a precarious situation. I just wanted to tell y’all to hang in there and keep your head up. Your parents sacrificed a lot to get you here and you put in the work and time to go to school, get that job and establish yourself here. For some of us self deporting isn’t even an option. We barely know our home country’s language, or would stick out like a sore thumb back home. We’re culturally American, we have privileges and are accustomed to a lifestyle that may not exist back in our home countries and could be a big hurdle in finding employment. Plus we wo...

I am getting my hubs a Breville Bambino Espresso Machine for his birthday. I’m also getting him his favorite syrup (Torani classic caramel) with a pump, a set of 5 oz glasses with measurements and pouring spouts, and an art piece with 25 different espresso drinks with descriptions and measurements. He has a burr grinder (that’s all I know about it. I’m a simpleton and I drink gas station coffee, and like it). Is there anything else I can get a 50 year old guy who really likes the idea of crafting perfect lattes in the morning? Oh yes: He’s gonna need BEANS. Tell me the best beans for the smoothest and brightest cup. Reference: he says Starbucks tastes burnt, Peet’s taste bitter, a...

In the fifth year of the war, Russian businesses unrelated to the military-industrial complex have shifted their focus from growth to survival. They are being squeezed by taxes, expensive credit, rising prices, late payments, and shortages of workers and spare parts. Entrepreneurs are coping by splitting companies into smaller entities or moving into the shadow economy, farmers are leasing land to large holdings, and contracts are being pegged to the “Pyaterochka index” – seen as more reliable than Rosstat’s inflation figures. “Nobody is growing. Every year is worse than the last,” is the prevailing mood among the business owners interviewed by The Insider. Experts expect the num...

I am a retired software engineer and manage a small restaurant. I rebuilt the POS and replaced Clover, table management, online ordering, added real-time reservations, gift cards, shift management aligned with payroll,... I added a marketing engine based on QR codes (started a ValPak campaign with it). Right now I am building the manager app that let me scan receipts and delivery invoices and track price changes (mostly up these days). That's the only app that costs something (not in my pocket), you need to sign up for an OCR service (\~$5/year for a small restaurant). It's a cool app, I was at Costco the other and the price of lamb looked low, I pulled up my app and checked how mu...

I just recently purchased three pairs of boots from this place and since I don’t really see a lot of experiences about them online, I figured I’d throw in mine. I’m in the US and thus ordered off of their US labeled site. The site being labeled as US does not mean they have a warehouse in the US, it means they’re catering to that specific country for shipping and browsing experience. I ordered three pairs of Steady’s boots and really like them. I find them to be on par with any other EU based company. That company is based in Poland and they do not ship to the US so METALSHOP is a solid place to find them. They kinda remind me of Grinders or Underground England. I’m very happ...

We went to Costco this weekend with our 8 month old and I seriously don’t understand how people do this every week. The cart is huge, my baby refuses to sit still and I spent half the trip trying to stop him from licking the shopping cart handle. I usually wear him in a carrier at regular stores, but at Costco we buy too much stuff for that to work. I saw another mom using some kind of baby shopping cart seat for baby setup and honestly it looked way easier than what we were doing. Do you guys bring something with you for the cart or do your babies just sit there normally? Because mine acts like he’s training for the Olympics every time I put him in one lol.

A couple weeks ago my uncle started looking for an industrial freezer for his seafood shop because the old one was struggling badly once the weather started getting hotter. At first nobody thought much of it because the freezer had been running for years without major issues except the usual noisy humming and random ice buildup. Then one afternoon the temperature inside suddenly started rising and the fish stock slowly turned soft before anyone noticed what was happening. Whole shop smelled horrible within an hour and my uncle was panicking while smacking the side panel like that was somehow gonna revive the machine. One worker kept dragging bags of ice from nearby stores while customers sto...

Rat infestations are one of the most frustrating and disruptive problems a property owner can face. What often begins as a faint scratching sound in the attic can quickly turn into a much larger issue involving contaminated insulation, chewed electrical wiring, damaged stored items, and persistent odors. In a city as large and densely populated as Los Angeles, rat problems are especially common. Warm weather, aging homes, rooftop entry points, and extensive utility systems create ideal conditions for rodents to thrive. Because of this, many homeowners and business owners eventually find themselves searching for a dependable company that can solve the problem thoroughly and prevent it from r...

A common issue with shipping auto-packing logic seems to happen with mixed-size orders. Even with custom box sizes and accurate product dimensions configured, the system sometimes splits shipments into two boxes when a warehouse team would realistically pack everything into a single mailer. That leads to unnecessary second-label charges, and in many cases, the warehouse ends up consolidating the shipment manually afterwards, which obviously isn’t ideal long term. Some approaches that come up often are: 1. Increasing the dimensions of the largest box so the algorithm prioritises it 2. Creating rules to avoid multi-box shipments below a certain order value 3. Letting the warehouse overrid...

I’m 29 and I’ve worked in retail and grocery for about 12 years. High school diploma only. Most of my experience is customer service, stocking, inventory, and a short period as a team lead. That’s basically my entire work background. (Also I am full time working 40 hours a week). Lately I’ve been trying to seriously figure out what kind of work would actually fit me better long term because I think retail is honestly one of the worst environments for my personality and mental state. I’m not lazy and I’m not trying to avoid working. I just need something that fits how my brain works instead of constantly fighting against it. I have ADHD and I’m unmedicated, and over time I’...

Just moved to West Melbourne from NZ and looking to cut down on eating out and start making meals at home for an affordable price. Where should I shop to find good deals for things like fresh fruit, vegetables, rice, beans, meat etc. I've looked at Aldi so far and planning on having a look at Costco. Are there any hidden gem stores I should look at? Asian grocery stores etc?

Yesterday evening I was helping my cousin search for a prefabricated sauna kit because her home renovation project suddenly turned into a full wellness upgrade. Honestly I thought free shipping would automatically be included because sauna kits are already expensive, but once we started comparing online stores things became surprisingly confusing. Some retailers offered free shipping only during seasonal promotions while others limited it to smaller indoor sauna kits or certain delivery regions. A few sauna brands honestly included free curbside delivery if customers also purchased heaters accessories or installation packages together. Some online stores advertised “free shipping” in gia...

Spent the last year replacing my entire creative production with AI video. Fashion and beauty are my main verticals. I stopped running traditional UGC fully in Q3 last year. Revenue across my stores has grown 40% month on month since then. The output is cleaner, faster, and converts better than what I was paying agencies to produce. People keep asking for the actual prompts. Not the theory. The exact text I drop into the tool that makes it look like a real human filmed it. Here it is. 34 prompts across fashion and beauty. These are the two verticals I know inside out. Use them, adapt them, make them yours. A few things before you use these: Upload your product image as the reference. Eve...
