I've gotten them to cut down to a smaller box a total of 6 times now. I'm very particular about dimensions and weight because I honestly refuse to believe that COVID is to blame for drastically higher DHL prices.

What made me suspicious was when I started using Amazon JP more often. They also use DHL to ship overseas. My orders on Amazon JP tend to be bigger(in volume and weight) than the ones on Mandarake, yet Amazon JP charges me MUCH less for shipping. Since most of us probably leave the comments column blank when placing an order on Mandarake, it's worth a shot just requesting that they use the smallest box possible.

The only downside I can see is that the contents could be a little more prone to being damaged, since they can't put as much protection in a smaller shipment.
