Re: Rakuten Global & Ebates
Just got a confirmation email from Richtime. They took out the Japanese sales tax (8%) but add a commission (1.5%)on orders over 200,000 JPY.
They don’t take PayPal but asked for confirmation of total charges (after tax removal and shipping) before proceeding to charge the card.

Re: Rakuten Global & Ebates
Richtime is a great seller. I bought my Sinn 556 from them and everything went perfectly. Although I did get hit with a $200 duty charge in Canada...ILiveOnWacker wrote:Just got a confirmation email from Richtime.

The store I just bought my Marinemaster 200 from said they keep the 8% sales tax on international orders as a commission fee which is annoying. But it was a pretty good deal so I just ordered anyways

Re: Rakuten Global & Ebates
My order from GOSH just got cancelled. No reason given, but I suspect it had something to do with the credit card. I don't know how the rest of you do it, but I can never get the credit card orders to go through. I don't know why some of the merchants say they accept credit card orders. It never seems to work for me. I usually only stick with the PayPal merchants but thought I would give it a shot again. Oh well. I tried. It was a good deal on the Oris Chronoris though.

I always thought I’d be more Rolex when I started collecting, but I’ve definitely fallen for Omega (thanks to Rakuten)whoagorgeous wrote:Congrats! Seems like everybody's on the Omega train lately.

Re: Rakuten Global & Ebates
My question is -
Many stores have terrific prices but don't have an international shipping option by default. They say - "This product cannot be shipped directly to Us United States from the store. Please use a package forwarding service >>"
How can one purchase from such listings/stores and still avail the eBates/Rakuten Cashback?

Re: Rakuten Global & Ebates
Usually you can't in my experience. So I just avoid those stores. But if people have a workaround I'd love to hear it. Usually Ebates will deny it when any other form of shipping is usedphoenix844884 wrote:My question is -

Re: Rakuten Global & Ebates
Then where does Rakuten Global Express come in? What if one shipped the item in this type of a listing to their RGX address (and consequently shipped onward), will eBates/Rakuten honor the cashback or not?AndroidIsAwesome wrote: ↑Tue Oct 08, 2019 10:06 amUsually you can't in my experience.

Re: Rakuten Global & Ebates
You are absolutely correct, this is where RGX applies. When searching RGM if you select Japan as your home country, then you'll get a LOT more options available to you as far as the variety of product. The store can ship directly to your RGX address in Japan and Rakuten will still honor the cash back. The only down side is some additional cost with using RGX. So it might not make a lot of sense with a $100 watch, but makes a lot of sense with a $4,000 watch!phoenix844884 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 08, 2019 10:36 amThen where does Rakuten Global Express come in?
