Sendico should be compared using the complete basket and delivered budget. The purchase fee is only one component; a low fee does not establish the cheapest or most suitable route. This guide explains the published structure used by LandedCheck and the questions to settle at checkout.
Use the correct marketplace fee
The calculator distinguishes the higher published fee for Mercari/JDirectItems Auction from the fee on other supported marketplaces. Check the linked fee-change notice and the current checkout; older articles may describe a different rate.
Worked fee example
Using the model’s ¥800 fee for each of three Mercari purchases gives ¥2,400. Applying the ¥500 other-marketplace assumption would show ¥1,500, understating this component by ¥900.
What the headline does not tell you
Check the order definition and all funding, packing or delivery charges. A listing from an auction and a listing from an ordinary store should not automatically be entered under the same marketplace.
Build a complete comparison
- Use the actual goods price including seller tax and the correct count of charged orders or listings.
- Record seller-to-warehouse delivery, including any amount already included by the seller.
- Obtain a packed international quote and identify optional services you selected.
- Check the payment currency, funding charge and conversion cost.
- Read the destination guide for import tax, duty and carrier handling; record amounts already collected.
Compare with the alternatives
Run the same basket through the calculator, then replace each route’s shipping benchmark with its actual quote when available. Compare coverage as well as money. A small difference in a service fee can be outweighed by packing, payment or transport, and unsupported routes should not be selected just because they appear inexpensive.
If you supply a local price, use an equivalent item and include local delivery and tax. A partial comparison with excluded duty is a remaining budget before that duty, not a guaranteed saving. Review the assumptions below the result before choosing.
