I have a Sentai order just shipped to stackry, with a premium edition in, the previous Sentai parcel will be with me later today, so no idea what the packaging is like, other than the picture Stackry sent when they received it. It looks no different to Crunchy roll packaging.Stackry have received my latest Sentai package today which includes 2 steelbooks & a premium edition. Would it be best to get it repackaged for extra protection, or is Sentai's packaging enough?
EDIT: Decided to go for the repackage option as it will provide more protection for the steelbooks & premium edition.
Also, if anyone else is thinking of using Stackry, my referral link will give you a discount on your first order shipped.
Yeah its probably recomeneded to go for repackaging with premium and steelbooks, as they just arent fixable/replace-able parts like a plastic case.Stackry have received my latest Sentai package today which includes 2 steelbooks & a premium edition.

So create account with stackry
Stackry will then give you a US address, probably something like this (I assume its all the same building in the same state but honestly haven't checked):
Your Name
### Amherst St.
Unit 00000000
Nashua
NH (New Hampshire)
Zip Code
Whilst in stackry go to "my account" > "my addresses" and add your UK/home address
I’m fully of flu at the moment so I’ve not given the above my normal attention… however… Apple Pay works if use it through an iPhone. I have a bank account that lets me buy in dollars with no fees, so I just use that card (I also do this on Amazon.com too if I set my card to dollars on their site so I don’t have to pay their conversion fee).So I still haven't gotten round to trying Crunchyroll via Stackry
So this is a possible guide for Crunchyroll orders via stackry (I may skip over some bits but if thats the case the info will be in the previous guide/1st first post of the thread)
So anyone who has used Crunchyroll via Stackry, if you get a chance to read through the below/info in spoiler and confirm that its a working guide/ information that would be appreciated.
Once its confirmed by a few people I'll add it to the 1st post (maybe the second post if there is an image limit).
PLEASE DO NOT attempt to use this guide yet
So First off create account with crunchyroll store, I think I already had one from using rightstuff and it was ported over. (If there is any big differnce when creating a new account feel free to mention and I'll see about grabbing some further info)
I had blank/empty: Addresses, Payment, so pretty much no info
So go to Accounts > Addresses
and add the stackry address they gave you when you signed up with Stackry
NOTE: Address line 2: make sure you add your Unit ??????? (again that stackry give you when you sign up with them), and obviously add your name, Phone number I add the one stackry provide again when you sign up.

And then just click Save.
My understanding is adding a UK address is pretty hard, (for me there was no United kingdom option in the country section when adding an address), so essentially were not adding it.
Next step fill your basket with the items you want and choose "checkout"

This will take us another page mainly for where we want it delivered, but as we added our stackry address to our cruncyroll account earlier we can use that address. But I would still give it a quick check over, if you want a less compact veiw then just click the "update address"
And once checked over that it matches the stackry address for your account click "Next: payment" button for the next screen

I got a side screen option/message "Lets verify your address is correct", wasn't really differnt in my case other than the suggested address had Zip code + 1204 after (I assume its a more precise part to the US ZIP code with in a state).
But I chose "use the address entered"
In the next screen I think it added the 1204 after the zip code anyway even though I chose the bottom option (so not sure it matter too much, other than making sure it keeps your unit number & the rest of the stackry address)
So "ship to this address"

Probably worth one more check over of the address if its your first time and just want to make your self feel at ease.
Untested please don't do yetAnd then Payment time, I'm going with PayPal as from the looks of it it will take my billing address from my PayPal account
If people have used other methord I will add them as confirmed and working e.g. Credit card (and required any extra hoops for payment and getting your billing address to be a UK one)
This is untested on my part so don't follow this and buy stuff yet until confirmed this info is correct
So Paypal check out
Then the login stuff and Pay
Not sure how it does it, It might be a checkout in PayPal and then sends you to a "Thankyou for you order screen" or a Final review your order screen (I suspect the latter, but again not tried yet)
So if anyone can rememeber how it does it that would be good.

PLEASE refer back to the mini stackry guide on the first post for details of what to do with the parcel once it arrives at Stackry
---------------
Unfortaunatly I still havent made an order with them yet (Partly cause Kenechi I swear I rememeber seeing much cheaper in a previous sale from them and there isn't really that much I really want at the moment at the right price)
Is there anymore screens that would be need in a guide?
And is there any obsticles that might come up using this methord that people who have used crunchyroll via stackry have run into?
With it being royal mail over Evri its possible its held up in customs, could also just be because it routed through europe/Sweden.My stackry order from sentai has been stuck in Sweden for three days now. The Royal Mail tracking has just been saying item leaving overseas, but no further updates. Evri lost my first stackry order so I’m starting to worry about this one too.
Yeah I’ve just double checked the stackry tracking and it says hub departure from Newark on Tuesday which is the exact time and date that RM have it listed as leaving Sweden. I’ll have to just wait and see I suppose.With it being royal mail over Evri its possible its held up in customs, could also just be because it routed through europe/Sweden.
I've found Royal mail when ever there is a fee to pay they take there alotted 10 days before deilevering anything (but that is a fee to pay on people under paying on the parcel with in the UK (so wrong size or weight)), but I can very much see RM taking there time on customs slips/ charges too.
I would also check both tracking, so the orginal one stackry gives you and then the local courier of in this case Royal mail (might also mention what step the parcel is in i.e "cleared customs"").
I think there is a few people that have tried the none Evri postage option so maybe they might have some insight.
Update: RM just emailed me to say they have it at Heathrow. *sighs with relief *Yeah I’ve just double checked the stackry tracking and it says hub departure from Newark on Tuesday which is the exact time and date that RM have it listed as leaving Sweden. I’ll have to just wait and see I suppose.

A previous post in the thread answering a similar questionShipping one item should be fine assuming the order is still tracked, but keep in mind free delivery from Sentai and other requires the order to be a certain amount (say over $75), but if you willing to pay that delivery charge as well then should be fine.
So my two orders from sentai both came in a 6 x 6 x 8 inch box.
First was 3lb (Dimensional weight was 2lb but I don't think this come into play for working out shipping cost) and cost £19.46 for postage via Global mail (8 blu-ray 1 of which is 4+ disc & one is a CE (Ahiru sora S1-4))
Second was 2lb and cost £16.96 for postage via Global mail (7 blu-ray case 2 of which are 4 way disc cases i think)
1lb = 453g
So really not much in it, but if I had to guess that £16.96 might be there lowest shipping price but still possible they have a lower price for smaller items. but I havent done any order that small, maybe some other users have checked on smaller hauls.
Also I'm not sure what kinda of packaging items come in for one item, it might not be a box, and this may lead to you wanting them to repackage said item.
When I looked at repackaging for my first order (the 3lb package) I read it as repackaging cost was £4.19 and then bubble wrap was £4-5 and I thought it implied to re-package it would cost both the £4.19 + £4-5 so I just went for no re-packaging (so to an extent there is some risk there), but I was testing and I figured if things get damaged its probably a case and I'll just have to buy some new ones.
But the sentai box is reasonably sturdy (maybe not the thickeest card though), but probably not all that much padding between box and blu-ray (I don't rememeber any bubble wrap).
But someone who has used the re-packaing service is probably better explaining the extra cost and how they do it (as far as im aware the do re-package your good well)So box + 1 burst plastic bubble (so basically a small plastic bag) and the blu-rays, so probably gonna get so movment of items (but the box is usually good enough (my 2 orders like this have had no damage to contence and no loose discs, but maybe im just lucky))

Aslo 2nd items should be fine from the same retail assuming they get sent in the same order, if it multiple parcels (2 from the same retailer or say 1 from sentia and one from crunchy) then you will have to consolidate the multiple package in to one and there is a fee for that and possible you then also look into the other re-packaging cost as well. But again not something i've tried yet, like you I was a little unsure on the process so I just kept it simple.
All I can say is I've never put in the HS codes. I just put down that it was blu ray in the package, how many and price per blu ray. Always got to me no problem. Oh and I didn't put the correct price, I came up with a reasonable looking full price and then divided it by how many bd are in the package to get the unit price.I'm wondering if anyone can help me here, as it's my first time with Stackry!
So my package arrived at Stackry and I entered all the customs info (including the HS codes), I then had the package repacked with bubblewrap.
Now the package is 'ready to ship', but the package info does not show the HS codes I entered previously - it only contains info for these headings:

Is this normal? I'll probably try and contact their customer service to see what's going on before shipping.

I chose DHL and it gets delivered by Evri in the UK. Luckily we know our Evri driver so have had no problems.
I assume if its in/ past the processing page, and in the "ready to ship" then its been paid for. so no editing can be done (If you can edit then you could probably back track to the customs codes to check).
I'm pretty sure it wouldn't allow you to skip/ not put anything thing in the customs section, so I would assume its just taken the info, but unfortunatly just hides the info from users (See below might be a similar option to the download invoice for earlier sections).
I only have orders that have been delivered / "shipped" at the moment, but the main dispaly info of shipped doesn't have any customs info. But I can access the customs info by going too shipped "veiw details" > "download invoice" (This may not be avalible until later / its actually shipped, as I think they check your customs info and apply it to the form (incase its None HS codes that they would have to fill in))
