Check before it ships
- Distinguish 正版 (licensed) from 同人 (fan-made). They are both legal to buy, but only one is an official product.
- Pin badges and acrylics are light but bulky in bulk — they price on volumetric weight, not actual weight.
- Ask for a photo of the sealed packaging. Resale value in this category collapses once a blind item is opened.
- Pre-orders (预售) can sit in the agent warehouse for months and may exceed the free storage window.
No category-specific carrier restriction. Standard chargeable-weight rules apply.
Use the category checklist, or order an independent inspection for high-value items.
