III. Brand Off FAQs
1) Why is buying from Brand Off Japan more affordable?
Japan offers a wider selection, strict authentication standards, and transparent condition grading. With the weaker yen, total costs are often lower—even after international shipping.
2) Are Brand Off items guaranteed authentic?
Yes. Brand Off is a member of the Association Against Counterfeit Product Distribution (AACD) and follows rigorous authentication procedures.
3) What do condition grades (N / S / A / B) mean?
- N (New): Brand new
- S (Unused): Like new, possibly display items
- A (Excellent): Light signs of use
- B (Very Good): Visible wear but fully functional
4) Official forwarding vs Buy&Ship—what’s the difference?
The key differences are price transparency, shipping fee calculation, and parcel consolidation. Official forwarding often bundles fees into a single quote, while Buy&Ship separates item price and shipping costs, offering clearer pricing. Buy&Ship also charges by actual weight (not volumetric weight) and allows flexible parcel consolidation, making it more cost-effective for multiple purchases.
