How we work

Japanese sealed TCG · Shipped from France to the whole EU

We source in Japan, inspect and store products in France, then ship from France to the whole European Union. Each product page identifies what you’re buying, its condition and whether it is in stock, on pre-order or sourced on request.

Order types

In stock
Physically held in France.
Pre-order
An upcoming release. Payment is taken at checkout. We’ll follow up with an estimated dispatch date. If we cannot fulfil the item, we’ll refund it in full.
On request
A released product not currently held in our French stock. Payment is taken at checkout; we source after purchase. We’ll follow up with an estimated dispatch date. If we cannot source the item, we’ll refund it in full.

An official Japanese release date is not a dispatch date.

01Sourcing in Japan

We source Japanese Pokémon and One Piece products in the format and condition stated on the product page. For on-request sourcing, tell us any packaging or condition preference before ordering so we can confirm what we can look for.

Preferences are requests, not guarantees.

02Receive, inspect & store in France

On arrival in France, we inspect the product, its packaging and relevant seals. We open the transport carton, not sealed retail products. For individual cards, we check visible condition. Checked products are stored protected in France until they are packed for dispatch.

03Photos, condition & listings

Photos and condition notes show what is offered on our shop, social channels and marketplace listings. We distinguish product illustrations from photos of the actual item. Packaging wear or damage is described precisely; the absence of outer shrink is stated separately.

For stock we hold, condition notes describe what we observed. For on-request products, condition is checked when the item arrives. If a condition issue is found, we share it before dispatch and discuss the next step with you.

04 ·Packing and dispatch

Packed as sold. Nothing opened, nothing re-sealed.

Two routes by format, one rule: the item leaves in the condition it was sold in.

The volume path

Displays, boxes & sets

  1. Sold condition confirmed

    The product stays as described on its listing: shrink, no-shrink, box or fixed-content set.

  2. Protection around the product

    Shipping protection goes around the product, without opening or re-sealing its original packaging.

  3. Parcel ready to leave

    The parcel is prepared in France. Transit time starts at dispatch.

The flat path

Cards & flat items

  1. Item kept intact

    A card or sealed envelope stays in the condition it was sold in.

  2. Support around the item

    Protection goes around the flat item. A sealed envelope is not opened to remove the card.

  3. Parcel ready to leave

    The parcel is prepared in France. Transit time starts at dispatch.

Packing protects transport; it does not transform the item. A protected parcel is not an armoured one.

Shrink or no shrink?

Shrink: the factory outer plastic wrap is intact.

No shrink: the outer plastic wrap has been removed. The booster packs remain sealed.

The difference is the display’s outer wrap. Packaging wear or damage, if present, is described separately.

Single booster means one sealed pack. An individual card or fixed-content set is identified separately on its product page.
