HOW TO ORDER

.

01 ✦ place your order via the gomdrop link.
gomdrop is quite easy to use, and if you sign up with an account you are able to keep track of your orders. but if you're having trouble with the platform, please let me know so i can help you!02 ✦ pay your total and make sure to include the required payment note.
the payment process is detailed below! if you're still confused, please reach out to me and i'll be happy to answer all of your questions! please remember that all figures quoted, unless stated otherwise, are in AUD.03 ✦ check my social media and your emails for updates.
shipment updates will be emailed to you directly via gomdrop. updates such as payment receipts and arrival photos will be posted on my twitter and instagram under the hashtags #kakaproofs and #kakahaul respectively! you can also join my discord server as a more convenient place to receive updates or refer to the masterlist here.04 ✦ wait patiently for the order to be shipped to me in australia.
i try to ensure that all group orders will be onhand within 6-9 months after the ordering period, but in general, i am not the gom for you if you want your items quick; most group orders will be sent to forwarding addresses to be combined with other group orders to save on intl shipping costs, and i will more often than not pick an economy shipping line which is slower but cheaper.05 ✦ receive your INTL shipping invoice and pay it accordingly.
invoice will be sent via email through gomdrop. please ensure to pay the invoice in full within the deadline specified.06 ✦ contact me to arrange delivery of your items from me to you and pay the domestic shipping fee.
once items are onhand, i do not typically ship them out immediately. this is because many of my joiners would like to combine their orders so it can be shipped out in one package. i only ship orders out right away when they are bulky items and i require extra space. once you have confirmed you want your items shipped out, i will pack and weigh your parcel to give you a shipping quote07 ✦ pay the domestic shipping fee and receive your tracking number.
once your order is packed, i will give you a quote that covers the cost of any shipping materials used and the shipping cost itself. please pay this total within 1 week! a shipping label will not be printed until the amount is fully settled.08 ✦ [IMPORTANT!] film an unboxing video upon arrival of your merch.
some items may arrive damaged or missing from the manufacturer, and sellers do not always offer after-sales services if there is no unboxing video. if you are unable to film this, i cannot guarantee i am able to pursue a refund or a replacement on your behalf.09 ✦ [OPTIONAL] post a haul photo!
i would love to see your hauls and rest easy knowing that your merch arrived to you safely, so please let me know when you receive your delivery! it would also make me super happy if you could tag me in your social media posts or post it under the hashtag #kakareviews on twitter and instagram!

IMPORTANT NOTES

.

✦  extra payments/charges may be required! there may be arising factors that will result in a discrepancy between what i have charged you for the item and what i actually need to pay during checkout, such as changing conversion rate. i will reach out to you if this is the case asking if you would prefer to cancel or still purchase the item. please respond in a timely manner! otherwise i will assume you would like to go through with the item and you have to settle the invoiced amount accordingly.✦  all payments need a transaction note, regardless of your payment method! the accepted format is provided at the top of each GO form. this is how i locate and filter for payment, so if you have sent the money without attaching the correct payment note, please reach out to me immediately!✦  all paypal payments should be sent via f&f. i do not profit from my group orders, everything i charge is at cost. so i cannot cover for any transfer fees 🙇💚✦  i don't accept holds or payment extensions, especially for the first payment. if finances are so tight that you require an extension to pay for a leisure item, you are not in a position to be buying merch in the first place.✦  use wise's currency conversion calculator here as a reference for conversion rates. actual rates may differ due to the seller's preferred payment platform (ie., paypal, boosty, etc.) which may incur additional fees and/or use a different conversion rate.

rules/t&c

.

.     ⟡  limiting your access to our discord server
.     ⟡  blocking you on our social media accounts
.     ⟡  blacklisting you from our group order
.     ⟡  denying your participation in certain group orders, but allowing you to participate in others.
.     ⟡  refusing to accept your individual order.
✦  no scalping or buying for the sole purpose of reselling for profit. i don't moderate what you do with your merch once you've paid for it. however i do not appreciate individuals profiting from the work i do for free. in addition, some artists i host group orders for earn a minimal amount or sell the merch non-profit. disrespect by reselling their merch for profit will not be tolerated either.


02. AGE RESTRICTIONS
✦  you must be 16 years or older to join any of our group orders.
✦  all minors must also obtain permission from their parent or legal guardian to purchase. requests for refunds or order cancellations lodged by "parents" due to irresponsible spending of your child will be automatically denied, and the buyer will be blacklisted.
✦  we reserve the right to block suspicious accounts/deny order requests from suspicious accounts. if this block or order cancellation is made in error, please reach out to me via email with confirmation of age.
✦  minors are restricted from purchasing bl/r18 merch in any capacity. the minor and any complicit parties (proxy buyers and/or other people who were aware of the act but didn't report it to me) will be permanently blacklisted.


03. DISCLAIMERS/LIABILITY
✦  we do not directly purchase items for many group orders hosted. we use various forwarding warehouses, proxies and other personal contacts to obtain the merch. if you're not comfortable with the idea of multiple people handling your order, do not participate in our group orders.
✦  you participate in the group orders at your own risk. the admin does their due diligence to ensure that the proxies used are reliable and reputable, and shipping helpers ensure that the goods are safely packed and kept. however, circumstances may arise that cannot be reasonably foreseen or controlled, such as damaged/missing/incorrect items, lost parcels and nondelivery of goods by the seller or proxy.
✦  if the seller or courier doesn't compensate us for damaged or missing items, we cannot compensate you either. we are not a retailer or distributor, we are only middlemen (who do not earn anything extra from the entire transaction) to help you obtain merch.
✦  do not participate in our group orders if you want your items quickly. if you want your items fast, we are not the gom for you. while we try to ensure that a group order is onhand within 6-9 months of it being hosted, we will more often than not use forwarding addresses to combine orders and choose cheaper, slower shipping lines which will add anywhere from 3-4 months to the order fulfillment timeframe.


04. PAYMENTS & FEES
✦  multiple payments are required for all orders. the payments would (with slight variations) typically look like this:
.     first payment: item cost + remote shipping
.     ems: intl shipping + proxy fees
.     dom: domestic shipping (me to you) + packing fees
✦  all figures quoted by us are in aud, unless stated otherwise. do NOT send usd, please!
✦  we only accept paypal (with additional transfer fees), wise, payid or direct bank transfer. please have a friend or a proxy transfer money on your behalf if you're unable to pay your invoices with these methods! ;u;
✦  please ensure to pay all invoices on time. the default payment deadline is 3 days from when you're given your quote. nonpayment for an extended period of time may result in your order being cancelled or your goods being considered abandoned.
✦  holds or payment extensions are not accepted. for charge 1, the absolute latest you are allowed to pay is by the GO end date.
✦  ems, dom & other outstanding extra charges must be completed in full before the item(s) itself can be shipped out to you. if the amount is not settled, i cannot deliver the goods to you.
✦  non-payment of any invoice for an extended period of time will result in the goods being treated as abandoned.


05. ORDER CANCELLATIONS & REFUNDS
✦  order cancellations are not accepted once goods have been paid for. if you have changed your mind about the merch, please find a buyer on your own time.
✦  refunds are only given in the event that the GO is cancelled or the items are unable to be purchased.
✦  if the seller doesn't refund me, i can't refund you either.
✦  by default, refunds will be issued in the form of credits for you to use as a discount in your next payment. if you would like to have the money returned to you, please give me your payment details so that i may return the money to you.
✦  i can only refund the amount of money i have received. this means that all fees associated with sending the money back will have to be borne by you, and there may be currency conversion rate differences for international buyers.

WAREHOUSING/SHIPPING POLICY

.

06. WAREHOUSING/ORDER CONSOLIDATION

✦  all orders have a maximum of 4 months warehousing period by default. however, if space needs to be cleared out, (eg., have to make space for an incoming shipment batch or the goods themselves are bulky), it will have to be shipped out immediately. you will be notifed in the event that this is necessary.


07. PACKING/SHIPPING/PICKUP
✦  ensure that your shipping details are correct. while our shipping handlers will ensure to double check that the address you have given is valid, we may not be familiar with your suburb/assigned postcode or (if you're ordering from overseas) your country.
✦  all shipments are subject to additional packing fees. the minimum is $0.80 for letter mail and $2.50 for parcels, however, the amount may change depending on how much packing materials are needed for your parcel.
✦  we reuse packing materials. in the interest of minimizing wastage and reducing packing fees charged to you, packaging such as boxes (ie., cut into backing boards) and bubble wrap will be reused and repurposed when available. if you prefer brand-new, clean and aesthetic packaging, we are not the group order for you.
✦  please bring your own bags for pickups. they will not typically be provided, so please ensure to bring your own bag or trolley when picking up your goods.
✦  ems, dom & any other outstanding charges must be completed in full before the item(s) itself can be shipped out to you. no payment = no delivery.
✦  allow up to 2 weeks of shipment requests being lodged for us to pack and ship out your items. in addition, please note that parcels are only able to be picked up by couriers, or dropped off at the post office during weekdays at working hours. we are working individuals, so we may not be able to ship out your items immediately. your patience and understanding is very much appreciated!
✦  by default, all deliveries will be tracked standard delivery, with the full value of the items declared. please notify us if you would like express, courier, untracked, or would like for us to declare the item value differently BEFORE we start packing.
✦  the group order does not take responsibility for losses, damage or delays of goods in transit. the parcel is no longer under our control once it's been given to auspost. however, we can help you apply for compensation and insurance if the item becomes lost or damaged if applicable.


08. ABANDONED ORDERS
✦  no refunds will be given for abandoned items.
✦  items will be considered abandoned if any of the following apply, especially if no prior approval had been given:
.     ⟡  defaulting on ems/dom/etc. payments
.     ⟡  completion date for item passed with no shipment request being placed
.     ⟡  any circumstance not listed here where you cannot be contacted and all reasonable attempts to do so have been made.
✦  abandoned items are considered ours for us to do as we please. your item may be resold (to recoup any lost funds), kept, discarded or given away at our discretion.
✦  understand that once items have been marked abandoned, it may not be possible for you to retrieve the goods. it may have already been resold, discarded, or claimed by another person.
