I live at home and am gonna get a job. Despite our President here, life so far is OK for me. However, I do wanna see the world and at least travel to Japan, Norway, Sweden, or the Netherlands

    Recently my proxy shipping service announced a price increase in order fees from 300 to 500 yen per order.
    I wonder why (/s)

      Corona unleashed the floodgates of price raises after years of stagnant prices and wages, so it may be related to what’s been unfolding since then. Current events, however, are of course not very helpful.

        So far they havent raised the prices for > 4 (or 5 years).
        So I’d say its a bit of getting a piece of the currency pie and trying to beat/compensate the domestic currency issue (it’s in Japan)
