Trashy and insanely expensive
This company is giving me a traumatic experience. I bought a figure and some keychains from Square Enix and some plushies from eBay and they hassled me with IDs, took so long that the request expired (yep, took a whole week). A while after the hassles were over, I was excited to know that the package arrived at the US address. I was immediately shocked by all the fees they are requesting from me. I checked for the fees of my order from Square Enix first. The product themselves were $135 (USD) and the handling fee was $12. Then they requested some fees more insane fees as follows (I literally copy and pasted these): Int'l Shipping Charge $36.00 Insurance $1.89 Surcharge $5.67 Domestic Surcharge $13.19 Total Duties & Taxes $20.23 A total of $76.98. What. The. Hell. They are asking me to pay them way more than half of the value of my purchase. And it doesn't end here. My plushies were worth like $8.88, I paid also paid the $8 sipping fee the seller requested. And when that arrive on the same day as the order from Sqaure Enix, they asked me for more fees as follows: Int'l Shipping Charge $40.00 Insurance $0.63 Surcharge $6.30 Domestic Surcharge $8.80 Total Duties & Taxes $6.82 Total $62.55 $62.55 for some plushies that are only worth $8.88 with $8 shipping. If they are not scammers, I don't know what would qualify as one. What's more is that, I contacted them for a live chat several times during the day, I live in Melbourne so the timezone is GMT+10. They clearly stated the live chat is available during Monday to Friday from 8am – 10pm (GMT+8). I literally contacted them in the afternoon on a Tuesday about this insane shipping cost, emailed them even. No one answered, no replies back. comGateway, I don't know how the hell you managed to scam other people into using your trashy, insanely overpriced services, I don't care what you do, don't ask me for an insane amount of money to ship my items you lowlife scammers. Stay away from these people.

Hi Zhang - I apologize that your experience failed your expectations of our service. I've read your concerns and let me explain some for you and our readers' reference: 1. We need to verify payments to ensure account security. 2. You must have contacted our Live Chat team during when the volume is high. As of this writing, you can try again as Chat team is still available. 3. We saw your email, rest assured it will be answered within 24 hours. 4. Shipping cost is primarily due to how bulky or heavy your package is, and not by how much it costs. Plushies not devoid of air are bulky. 5. Your initial BuyForMe payment does not include the shipment to your US address. That is why when you tried to ship your packages, you saw Domestic Shipping under the breakdown. 6. Duties and Taxes are payable when shipping to Australia. We hope this clarifies some of your questions. Please expect our Support team to contact you the soonest.
