I mostly buy media like manga and art books, never really been one for decorative items. Though you could argue manga also becomes mostly decorative after I'm done reading it... I do have a few posters and tapestries, as well as an acrylic stand of Maetel from Ginga Tetsudou 999.

I have a sizable amount of manga and other books, but other than that rather little - I've picked up a few things, like a keychain, a t-shirt (for an anime I haven't even watched), and a handful of gacha machine items, when I've been to Japan, and I have also bought a couple of second-hand figurines for cheap locally, but that's about it.

I don't think they took anything out but they unwrapped bubble wrap on one pair. I dunno. Makes me more nervous to ship in anything explicit.

No.141774
I think tapestries probably get flagged with higher probability. The long cylindrical rods wrapped in fabric for Xray, higher prices and lower weight to price ratio probably causes the system to flag it as a potentially risky item. So they open it up and just do some checks to see that it's nothing serious.
Given that the two items opened by CBSA were tapestry shipments while the other was not.. and given how this isn't a common occurrence on Reddit makes me think it's about package weight and how tapestries look on an xray

>>152704buying from japan is really expensive when you take in VAT and shipping... For all my stuff I end up paying twice basically. I have the money, but it's still annoying as heck.
Like for decorating all the walls of my bedroom with tapestries it's probably like 600$ and I could still go further... then importing has probably been about 300$ on top of that... then you could add on accrylics, dakis and so on.
So if I wanted to do a big shopping spree of japanese stuff if I won the lottery it would be better in the end to just go to Japan and carry back 1400$ of stuff, pay the VAT as a good citizen and go on your way.
The other cost is that the government has opened my packages like 3 times now. They seem to have stopped and I think they didn't understand what tapestry rolls looked like, but if you violate local laws you could go in jail or confescates it..

A large portion of the stuff at Comitia was illustration books and other stuff of that sort, but I don't really have much interest in buying that kind of stuff unless it is from an artist I really like (and there were only two artists there that I am familiar with; neither selling anything I wanted), so that's why I didn't get many.

>>162274Could have just been an honest mistake too. In a warehouse you have people that are called pickers that pull the actual orders and load them on to carts. Usually the carts have 20-50 slots and each slot is an order. Then these get brought up to a packing station where someone else packs the individual orders into boxes.
Picker might have tossed those in your slot by mistake or the divider came out and the packer wasn't sure which went with which order and guessed. I've also seen a lot of people being actively malicious because both of those jobs suck and management is always slave driving them. So they throw extras into random boxes to screw over the warehouse. A few bucks here and there on each order adds up to thousands over the course of a day sometimes.
There is also the possibility that your order came back to what's called resolutions. Which are there to catch fucked up packages before they go out for delivery. They also end up with all the loose items that somehow got outside of where they're supposed to be. There are huge piles of random items at resolutions that they're supposed to sort and return to the warehouse floor in an attempt to balance inventory. It's also a pretty shit and stressful job and many times you end up with random stuff you can't figure out where it came from or where it's supposed to be returned to. So if you can make it vanish then you can mark it down as a loss or put it off (and blame) the next or prior shift. A lot of that type of stuff goes on.
I've done all three jobs. Picking is by far the least stressful but the most wear and tear on your body. Packing sucks because you're standing in one place all day. Resolutions is the worse because you're basically doing all three jobs at the same time plus providing support for the other two. Then if a lot goes missing it gets blamed on you. I've spent hours walking around looking for thousands of dollars worth of merch some forklift driver misplaced. Or sorting through thousands of small items and running around trying to return them to the proper location in the warehouse before the pickers need them. Or having to dig through massive boxes of loose items to find one little item to complete and order that's got to go out before the end of the shift. Blah blah blah.
Anyway, you shouldn't feel guilty about it or report it. As long as you got the item you originally ordered along with them consider it good luck and keep quiet. If you do alert the company you'll just get whoever did you a solid in trouble.

>>162418Oh that's a really cool experience, I've never had something like that happen before.
The most surreal buyfag experience I've ever made was finding the Japan-exclusive artbook to one of my favorite shows on our equivalent of Craigslist. Neither the anime, nor the manga have ever gotten a release here and even the US is rarely talking about it anymore, but somehow that one guy from my country was selling the 100+ bucks artbook from 2003 that I've never seen outside of Japan... for under 10 bucks with shipping included.
