Why Most Overseas Buyers Struggle with Japanese Pokemon Card Sourcing

If you’re running a TCG shop, reselling online, or creating content on TikTok, YouTube, or Instagram, you already know the frustration:

Common Pain Points We Solve:

Counterfeit Risk: A survey has found that 12% of Japanese Pokémon cards sold overseas have failed authenticity verification. One fake product destroys customer trust built over years


Supply Chain Delays: Traditional importers average 10-14 days from order to delivery. In the fast-moving TCG market, yesterday’s hot product becomes today’s excess inventory.


Hidden Costs: Unexpected customs issues, and inflated shipping rates can eliminate profit margins before your first sale.


Communication Barriers: Time zone differences, language gaps, and cultural misunderstandings lead to order errors that cost time and money.

・68% of TCG retailers report losing money on counterfeit purchases at least once


・54% cite “reliable supplier relationship” as their #1 business challenge


・82% would pay 10-15% premium for guaranteed next-day processing

You deserve a partner who understands these challenges because we’ve been solving them for over a decade.

Real Businesses, Real Growth, Real Partnerships

Background: Jenny M. started as a Pokemon card collector sharing pack openings on TikTok. Her audience grew to over 300,000 followers, and viewers wanted to buy the Japanese cards she featured.

Challenge: Finding reliable inventory sources that could keep pace with viral demand spikes and maintain viewer trust.

Solution: Partnered with TCG.AKIBA.JAPAN for bi-weekly shipments of trending Japanese booster boxes.

“When a video goes viral, I need product FAST. TCG.AKIBA.JAPAN’s next-day dispatch saved me countless times. I once ordered $6,000 of product on Tuesday and had it in my hands Friday – in Wisconsin. That’s how you capitalize on momentum.”

— Jenny M.

Background: Klaus manages a successful TCG store in Berlin, specializing in Japanese card games for the growing European collector market. His business was limited by unreliable suppliers.

Challenge: Previous supplier had 11% defect/counterfeit rate, inconsistent stock availability, and 8-12 days average delivery times that prevented business growth.

Solution: Consolidated all Japanese inventory sourcing through TCG.AKIBA.JAPAN with monthly bulk orders.

“The difference is night and day. We used to spend 15 hours per week dealing with supplier issues – returns, authentication disputes, customer complaints – but now customer complaints have virtually disappeared. We’re now able to effectively use that freed-up time to expand our business.”

— Klaus W, Operations Manager

Background: David Thompson. started selling cards on Instagram as a side hustle while working full-time in Lyon. His goal was to build enough inventory and customer trust to transition to full-time entrepreneurship.

Challenge: Building enough inventory and customer trust to transition to full-time entrepreneurship.

Solution: Not only do you get booster boxes, but the real draw is the massive selection of PSA 10 graded cards available from TCG.AKIBA.JAPAN.

“I was hesitant to buy the authentication card because there are counterfeit versions circulating, but I can purchase it with confidence from TCG.AKIBA.JAPAN.”

— David Thompson.

Everything You Need to Know Before Your First Order

What’s the minimum order value?

We have no minimum order value for first-time customers. Most clients start with $300-800 to test our service quality. However, for optimal shipping economics, we recommend orders of $500+ to offset international freight costs.

How quickly can I receive my order in the United States?

Timeline breakdown: Payment confirmation (same day within business hours), order processing & dispatch (next business day), transit time with DHL Express (2-5 business days). Total: 3-6 business days from payment to delivery.

Example: Payment confirmed Monday 10 AM JST → Dispatched Tuesday → Delivered Friday/Monday in most US locations.

What happens if my shipment is damaged or lost?

Our guarantee:

  1. Damage during transit: We will only issue refunds for damaged goods. We handle carrier claims.
  2. Lost shipment: Full refund after carrier confirms loss (typically 10 business days).
  3. Customs seizure: Full refund. This has never occurred in our 10-year history.

Can you help me understand import duties and taxes?

Yes – this is one of our core value-adds. We provide estimated duty rates for your destination country, proper HS code classification (reduces audit risk), documentation package optimized for customs clearance.

Custom duty: Customs duties are payable by the buyer. Estimated duty rates can be shared with the buyer in advance. We ship using the appropriate HS code (HTS code for the U.S.), so no additional duties will be incurred.

Do you offer exclusivity agreements?

For high-volume partners (consistently $15,000+ monthly), we offer regional exclusivity on specific product lines. Requirements include 6-month purchase history, minimum monthly commitment, quarterly business planning sessions, and co-marketing initiatives.

What’s your return policy?

We accept returns under these conditions:

  • Product authenticity concerns (Refund + shipping both ways)
  • Significant damage not reported during delivery (Refund or replacement)
  • Wrong product shipped (our error – full refund + correct product shipped free)

Not acceptable reasons: Market value decreased after purchase (you assumed market risk) or changed your mind (all sales final for wholesale orders).

Process: Email photo evidence within 48 hours of delivery, return authorization issued within 24 hours, product returned in original condition, refund processed within 5 business days of receipt.

Can you source specific cards or products not on your current inventory list?

Absolutely. This is one of our most popular services.

How it works: Submit request with card details, we provide sourcing timeline (3-7 days for standard products, 14-21 days for rare/vintage), quote with price and estimated timeline, you approve or decline (no obligation), and we procure and ship per normal process.

Ready to Transform Your Japanese TCG Sourcing?

Every day without reliable inventory costs you money.
The average TCG seller reports $1,200/month in losses due to supplier issues. Over 12 months, that’s $14,400 in recovered profit potential.
