Step 04: Review Your Cart Then ‘Checkout’

Before going through your purchase, make it a habit to review everything first before hitting “Go to the Next Step” to proceed to Check-Out Page


Step 05: Review Your Shipping Details and Set Delivery Time & Date

Review all the details you entered and specify your Preferred Delivery Date and Time. Please don’t deliver your goods on a weekend and/or Japan holiday since our warehouse will be closed during those times. You may visit Latest News Page and check if there is any service announcement about holiday arrangement of our overseas warehouses.


Step 06: Place Your Order and Wait For Pokémon Center’s Tracking Number

First, choose a payment method and enter your credit card details on the next step. Please note that all of the parcels that would be sent to any of our warehouses should be paid online. Our Warehouse colleague won’t be paying for any goods with COD as the mode of payment. Pokémon Center won’t be asking for your billing address which means that it will automatically use the same address for shipping and billing. Don’t worry, as long as your payment goes through and they delivered it to our warehouse address, everything should be fine.  Review everything one last time and click “To Buy” Simply wait for the tracking number Pokémon Center will provide for your orders.


Step 07:  Declare Your Shipment

Once you get your tracking code from Pokémon Center, log in to your Buyandship Account, and immediately declare your shipment. All you have to do is:

  • Go to ‘Parcel Management’
  • Hit ‘Click Here to Add a New Shipment’
  • Enter the Warehouse you ship it to, in this case, select ‘Chiba, Japan’
  • If the email says which courier they use, select the respective courier. But if you don’t know, choose ‘Other Couriers,’ instead
  • Enter your Tracking Number
  • Fill out the Product Details (Click ‘Add New Item’ if you bought multiple items)
  • Check all of the Terms and Conditions
  • Hit ‘Submit’

If you wanted a more elaborate explanation on how to do it, click here.

Please Note: If there is no tracking number provided from the seller and if the seller filled out your shipping address correctly with your member ID, and was delivered to our warehouse, please wait for an email from us that you have an “Undeclared Shipment” In that same email, there is a tracking number in which you can just copy and paste and declare your shipment. Once you have declared your shipment it should move to “Arrived at Overseas Warehouse” status in Parcel Management.

Step 08: Wait For Your Parcel To Be in Parcel Management “Arrived At HK Warehouse”

Once it is in “Arrived at HK warehouse” in Parcel Management, you can checkout your shipments separately or consolidate your shipments (not separate items) by ticking on the box next to your tracking number. Once each shipment arrives at the HK warehouse you have free consolidation services and 21 days of storage. If you want to checkout, fill out the checkout details, and proceed to payment.


Step 09: Pay for Buyandship’s Shipping Rate

We charge purely based on weight for a flat rate of A$22/first 2 pounds and A$10/additional pound after the first 2 pounds for shipments from Japan, so you don’t have to compute for complicated math equations. Plus, we have the lowest shipping rate in Australia! How crazy is that?!

*Please note that Buyandship only accepts Mastercard or Visa for a safer and faster way to pay.


Step 10: Wait For Your Products to Arrive at Your Doorstep in Australia

Last step! All you have to do is sit, relax, and wait for your parcels to arrive at your doorstep. Enjoy your new Pokémon Merchandise directly from Japan!
