Sent to a debt collector by FedEx after having paid From Japan for DSP delivery

I paid FromJapan/One Map $87.34 for DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipment in February 2026. This was meant to cover the FedEx delivery cost.

I have since been contacted by FedEx repeatedly for that payment. I contacted One Map multiple times, and they constantly reassured me not to pay the bill, that it’s all being taken care of.

FedEx has now increased the bill to $99.57 and sent me to a debt collector. I had a perfect credit score, which is now damaged.

I have included a shipment number below.

Coupon disappears when increasing bid

FromJapan needs to do better!!! They offer coupon codes for discounts but the ones for auctions are not applied automatically unlike the ones for Fleamarket or Mercari, which is the same loophole many companies use to save costs and it is scummy practice. The irritating part is I did apply the discount before I submit for the sniper bid, but when others starting bidding near to my max bid, I decided to deposit more money to increase my max bid in order to win the auction. Unfortunately, the coupon code did not re-apply itself to the same listing when I have already applied it before, so I won the auction without getting the savings. It's so unfair that they put this responsibility on us, especially when bidding is such a high intensity activity. How are we supposed to remember to check if the coupon is still applied when all we want is to focus on winning the auction? I've bought so much using their service, I paid so many of their high 500yen per listing fees, I still have to pay taxes and shipping, and they don't even want to give me my 10% discount on the winning bid. Their excuse is that they cannot apply the discount after Charge 1 payment, well, you can always do a partial refund to my account, or give me a FJ points equivalent to that 10% savings, or another coupon to use to offset in my Charge 2 payment, right? There are SO many ways to make this right, but all the customer service is willing to say is for me to 'be understanding'. DISAPPOINTING. I have been a loyal customer since 2015, and with so many other platforms popping out, it would be so unfortunate to bring my business elsewhere.

EDIT:
Sure, the 10% code might be for 23rd, but there was another code meant for 22nd, and I am not sure of the exact discount %. You can check which code was available for Yahoo auction for the 22nd. Either way, I had successfully applied that 22nd code on my auction at first, then it disappeared when I increased my bid because it was treated as a new bid and I did not check to re-apply that 22nd code to the new bid. Nice try with the technicality but you know exactly what I meant, and yes I learnt my lesson and made sure I applied the promo code when bidding again separately on the 23rd, but I still failed to get my savings from the 22nd code. Still no compensation given.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

We have thoroughly looked into your account and the specific transactions you mentioned to understand what happened.

We would like to clarify that the 10% discount coupon you attempted to use was strictly valid starting from August 23rd. The specific auction you are referring to, where the discount was not applied, started and ended on August 22nd. Because the auction ended before the coupon's validity period began, our system could not apply the discount to that transaction, regardless of when you increased your max bid.

Furthermore, we can see from your account records that you successfully and correctly applied this exact same 10% discount coupon to another auction on August 23rd, and you received your discount for that winning bid.

We sincerely apologize if our customer support team failed to explain this date discrepancy clearly in their initial response to you.

We highly value your loyalty to FromJapan since 2015, and we hope this context clears up the misunderstanding regarding how the coupon was handled.

Best regards,
FROM JAPAN

Trustpilot Review – FromJapan

I’ve had a very positive experience with FromJapan. The platform is convenient and offers a great selection of items from Japan.

I would especially like to highlight the customer service team. They are responsive, professional, and take the time to provide clear and helpful answers. This is particularly reassuring when dealing with specific situations or when additional information needs to be clarified.

Thank you to the FromJapan team for your professionalism and support. I would definitely recommend the service.

Best in class!

In my opinion they are the best in class. Great customer service departement, always very fast, friendly and helpfull. Their rates are ok for me, more important for me is that they care about my bought goods.. they pack them very carefull and sensitive goods are double boxed for shipping. My goods arrive most of the times in three days from Tokyo to my home adress in The Netherlands.
Very satisfied with their overall services!

FROM JAPAN is a company from hell – how they stole $200 from me

This is a company from hell – worst experience I've ever had with a company, ever. Period.

A while ago, I found a product that I was after for many years on Mercari. Not able to order it directly, I decided to give FROM JAPAN a shot. Even though the product was to be delivered domestically, not internationally, FROM JAPAN charged me an arm and a leg. Fine – the product was worth it.

A month passed and the product was still not delivered. Spent about $100 in fees calling FedEx and enquiring (and probably $500 worth in hours emailing both parties) just to have an investigation started.

FROM JAPAN eventually admitted the package was lost. They most likely received the insurance money from FedEx. I have documented that I implored FROM JAPAN to refund my money in a very specific way because I had lost access to my original payment method in the meantime (months had past, switched banks), they confirmed that they would, but they, just like all their other promises, eventually did not. Most likely on purpose just to cause me more stress and financial losses.

In the end, FROM JAPAN defrauded me from $200, wasted 30+ hours of my time writing emails and calling customer services, and cost me hundreds of dollars in fees on top.

They know that I am out of options. They are right about that. I can't force them to refund the money they stole from me, or to compensate me for the other costs that I suffered as a direct result of their predatory and dishonest actions. All I can do is leave this review to warn others about this company, which is ran by merciless scammers.

Dear customer,

Thank you for sharing your experience, and we are deeply sorry for the immense frustration and stress this situation has caused you. We completely understand why you are upset. Losing a highly anticipated item and dealing with a complicated refund process is a terrible experience, and we sincerely apologize for our shortcomings here.

We also want to apologize for the miscommunication from our support team regarding how the refund would be routed. While we initially agreed to send the funds directly to your requested PayPal address, strict regulations enforced by our payment gateway required the refund to automatically route back to your original payment method.

Please know that we are not holding your money. The full $200 refund successfully left our accounts. As communicated in our latest email, we have provided you with the official PayPal Reference IDs for these transactions. Even when a card or account is closed, banks have established procedures to route incoming credits to the account holder. We kindly ask that you provide these Reference IDs to your bank so they can trace and locate your funds.

If your bank ultimately rejects the credit and bounces the funds back to our merchant account, we will immediately process an alternative payout for you.

We know this is not the seamless resolution you deserved, but we remain committed to ensuring you receive your funds. We will continue monitoring our system for any returned transfers and appreciate your patience as you consult with your bank.

Sincerely,
The One Map by FROM JAPAN Team

Several months or is it a year?

Several months and the shopping experience is still very neat, tidy, well guided and convenient! After a couple of days, the next bundle would be packed up and sent to me. Very quickly, reliable and - in rare cases I had a question- the customer service will be by my side.

Very AWFUL EXPERIENCE - Holding my Items Hostage - DO NOT take any correction after they mess up your ordrs

Very AWFUL EXPERIENCE. This company is causing me $10,000 in lossees. they are holding ALL my merchandise HOSTAGE for 60 days now - claiming - they are waiting on "management" to fix some DIRE PROBLEMS with packing my orders in such away that they EXPANDED in size to Such great size that they can not be shipped. 200+ EMAILS TO csr and they keep LYING, AND DOING NOTHING! Run from them as they are Unethical, Irresponsible, and cause Tremendous Losses. Moreover they do NOT even provide customs paperwork in a format acceptable to USA> Last shipment cost me $1500 in extra costs over their errors in invoice + 10 extra days of shipment being held by customs demanding me to get EDUCATION in USA Customs clearing and from scratch to recreate pages of details I knew nothign about. If they let me I will try to attach my shipment "before repacking" and removal of boxes and 35% more once they "compacted it" on top of that its 5 weeks of pleading for them to FIX their errors or reduce fees. MOST HORRIFIC AWFUL EXPERIENCE with any Consolidator.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for sharing your honest feedback.
We sincerely apologize for the immense frustration and stress you experienced regarding the packing size of your merchandise and the complications with your USA customs paperwork.

We have thoroughly investigated your case with our management and warehouse teams. We identified a system calculation error that caused the confusing discrepancy in your shipping estimates before and after repacking. We understand how frustrating this miscommunication was.

We have verified that our Customer Support team has since been in direct contact with you to resolve these issues. Our team has fully updated and corrected your customs paperwork to meet USA requirements so your package can clear smoothly. Additionally, we have processed a refund to your account to cover the difference in shipping and repacking fees caused by the estimation error.

We can see that this case was recently marked as resolved by our support team via email.
We truly hope that this outcome was satisfactory and that your items are safely on their way to you.
If you have any lingering concerns or need further assistance with this shipment, please do not hesitate to reply directly to your open email thread with our support team.

Sincerely,
FROM JAPAN

Best for numerous reasons

Best for numerous reasons, when it comes to discounts when ordering, the fast shipping times, fair prices for shipping, when it comes to packaging, they treat every item as if it was divine. They literally package like gods. They're secure and kind. Their customer support is the best and responsive.

FJ is simply the best, no reason to look elsewhere.

I love FromJapan and hope to use their services many time in the future. FJ is fast in getting your item, reliable, they provide a top notch customer service - fast, always trying to find solution. FJ ships quickly and the package is always packed very carefully. The fees and shipping quotas are also very reasonable. Thank you very much.

Equipment shipping

I purchased a very heavy very expensive piece of equipment, and FromJapan packed it very professionally in a carboard box with lots of bubblewrap and styrofoam blocks, inside of a large wooden crate. Even after getting bounced around the country from shipping center to shipping center by the courier, it arrived to me exactly as it was sold in Japan. I'm very highly pleased with my experience.

Overall, the platform is good

Overall, the platform is good. But expect the unexpected. If you see some item marked as "Working condition", that doesn't mean it might run properly or that the buttons would be responsive. That means it can boot/turn on. Well, in my case anyway. No refunds. You are the only one responsible for that. It's because you can't tell from the pics that those buttons are not in working condition at all. I mean, why wouldn't you?
