Anicyo - how long?

kizu · Post by **kizu** » Sun Jul 12, 2009 11:19 pm

Does anyone know how long one has to wait with regards to "requesting shipping fees"? It's the last stage I think in the order "processes" and mine has been stuck for what feels like forever. So I'm just wondering what is a reasonable time to wait after closing the deputy order? Thanks!

Happened to me.........
I had to email them to ask- if there was a problem in shipping---
It helped as it mailed the next day

Thanks kathpatty but prior to posting this I did e-mail and have no received a reply back. My stuff was supposed to be closed prior to july 4 and I had closed it a few weeks earlier than that. I'm a little miffed that after I paid the paypal and deputy fee part, it's now just stuck on the requesting shipping fees. But it's only 2 items from the same seller so I don't think it should take that long. But I did have the same problem a long time ago where it took several months to ship a sketch i bought. I guess I'm just not happy.

I think it's been taking longer than ever before with Anicyo (and I thought it was bad before they got rid of the premium member fees). I think I had some items stuck on "requesting shipping fees" for at least a month once.

I'd definitely email them (and if all else fails, use Stephen's Anime Taro email address).

I know this post is a few months old but I had a similar problem around the same time this was originally posted.

1) the guy that runs Anicyo was away for two weeks
2) there was something wrong with the part of the form that sends the shipping request.

My order was stuck on request shipping for over two weeks. I finally emailed the problem was solved quickly.

It's good to hear that he's still taking care of things, at least!

I have heard of things taking as long as 2-4 months to ship after the request was sent.

That alone tells me not bid on anything on Anicyo.

This has been my past experience, as well. Actually, I've had similar experiences with Anime Taro in the past 6 months, too. Sadly, I have to agree with you, beatrush... knowing that things are very slow over there keeps me from looking at/bidding on what's there. I think the only things I might consider bidding on would be things high on my wishlist, as they would be the only things worth all the hassle to get.

I used Anicyo with no problems for about a year and a half. There were a number of really nice items that showed up there with temptingly low opening bid prices, and often there was no competition. Shipping was slow but not to this extent. (Rinkya was slower.) I dropped off mostly because I needed to pull back on new acquisitions and stick to a tighter budget, not because of dissatisfaction.

However, it does seem that the sellers are losing patience. In several cases I've seen nice items that went round and round and round on Anicyo get moved over to YJ and attract bidders at the same opening prices at once. This leaves me even fewer reasons for wanting to go back there.

A shame, as my additions would have been much shabbier during the last 2 years if it had not been for Anicyo.

Yeah, if only it were easier to bid on items and go through their entire process. I would have gotten a few things if it were easier.

At least Madoka lowered the prices for some of their cels that have been sitting there forever. Maybe someday they'll post those Tenkousei cels on YJ and I can bid on them.

Or if enough time passes maybe I'll become completely uninterested in them then I'll just save money. It's like an interest/price chase:

1. High Interest/High Price ---------------------- I don't buy it
2. Medium Interest/High Price ------------------ I don't buy it
3. Low Interest/Price Falls to Medium Price -- I don't buy it
4. No Interest/Price Falls to Low Price -------- I don't buy it

The website is but I got an e-mail from them saying they are moving to the Madoka website. So you'll probably see the auctions there. I hope they make a few changes and more updates.

Anicyo has closed. That's why the Web site is down.
