Frequently Asked Questions

General Enquiries

Does Toy Coin carry authentic products?

Yes, we only carry authentic products.  

Where are the stocks from?

We mainly source our stocks from local suppliers or Japan suppliers! Japanese stocks tend to arrive earlier than local ones, so if timing is crucial to you, please check with us before ordering.

How do we ensure the authencity of the items?

We are listed as Partnershops under Good Smile Company, VOLKS, Aniplex and Bandai Spirits. There is no way we would jeopardise our decade of reputation by selling non-authentic items.  

Do I need an account to place orders?

Yes. Having an account will be easier for you as well, as you can track the items that you have ordered previously

Why is a deposit needed for the items?

We need you to affirm your absolute commitment to purchasing the item.

We have the following payment methods:

– Local Bank Transfer.
– PayNow, PayLah, PayAnyone.

Can I cancel my orders?

Orders cannot normally be cancelled. In exceptional circumstances where Toy Coin approves a cancellation, a cancellation fee equal to 20% of the order value, subject to a minimum of SGD $10, will apply.

Can we pay the deposit amount in cash?

No, we are unable to meet you to collect deposits. Any deposit payment is advisable to pay via the available methods mentioned above.

Do we have a physical shop?

No. We have been operating online since the start of the business

Order Enquries

How long can I keep my preordered item(s) with you when it reaches Singapore?

We can only hold your item for a maximum of two weeks from the date of our first arrival notification. During this period, you must pay any outstanding balance and arrange delivery or collection.

If we do not receive a response after our follow-up attempts, we may charge the outstanding balance using a payment method previously authorised for the order and ship it to the address provided.

If we cannot collect the outstanding balance or arrange delivery or collection within two weeks, the order may be cancelled and the item released for sale. Any deposit paid will be forfeited and is non-refundable. Account restrictions may also apply.

What happens if my item is fully paid for but the shipping fee remains unpaid?

Once your item is ready, we will send a shipping-payment request using the contact details provided with your order. You must pay the shipping fee or contact us within seven calendar days of the first request.

If we do not receive payment or a response within this period, we may cancel the order and release the item for sale. A cancellation fee equal to 50% of the item price will apply. The remaining 50% will be refunded through the original payment method or issued as store credit at Toy Coin’s discretion.

Failure to respond may also result in restrictions being placed on your account.

The item I wanted is sold out, can you restock it?

We are able to restock sometimes. Please contact us.  

Why is the restock price different from the previous price?

Prices may change between stock batches due to supplier costs, exchange rates, shipping fees and market conditions. The price confirmed at the time of purchase is final, and subsequent price changes will not apply retrospectively.

How long will my order be reserved without deposit?

Typically orders will be cancelled 24 hours if no deposit is made or customer is unresponsive after we reach out.

When is my preorder item available?

You may check under the product description for its approximate arrival. Please note that the arrival is subjected to manufacturer changes. You are encouraged to head over to the manufacturer’s website to check on the official release date. 

Will I be notifed when my preorder arrives?

Yes, we will notify you via email once the item arrives.

If we do not receive a reply, we will follow up via SMS. Should we still not receive any response after that, we will automatically collect the remaining payment using the same payment method used for the deposit and proceed to ship the item to the shipping address provided in the order.

My item has a defect, what do I do now?

Customers must report within three days. Please take photos and send it to us via email and we will get in touch with you. Ultimately, there will be some variation between products, so whether or not the exchange will happen is solely up to the manufacturers. 

My item box is dented, can you do anything about it?

Unfortunately, the nature of the packaging is to protect the figure inside, hence, we will not be able to change the box for you.

Do you accept other payment plans

Yes, you can email us here, or drop us a message on our Facebook page.

What should I do if my delivery address has changed?

Please inform us of any address change before your item is shipped. Once an order has been dispatched, we may be unable to retrieve or redirect the parcel. Any additional costs resulting from an incorrect or outdated address will be the customer’s responsibility.

My package is lost! What do I do?

Please contact your local postal operator or courier first using the tracking information provided, and then notify Toy Coin.

A missing-parcel investigation can generally be opened only after at least 18 days from the posting date. Investigations and compensation claims may take up to three months or longer.

If a claim is approved, compensation is limited to a maximum of SGD $60 for Registered Mail and SGD $150 for Speedpost Standard, or the affected item’s invoice value, whichever is lower. Toy Coin will reimburse the customer only after compensation has been approved and received from SingPost.

Additional insurance may be requested before shipment, subject to availability and additional charges. All claims remain subject to SingPost’s prevailing terms and final approval.

My item arrived damaged. What should I do?

Please retain all packaging and take clear photographs of the item, shipping carton and damage. Contact the relevant courier or postal operator promptly and notify Toy Coin within three days of receiving the parcel. We will provide reasonable assistance with an eligible delivery claim.

Buy Back Programme Enquiries

Is it strictly 30 items?

No. However, we generally believe that if you have fewer than 30 items, you may get better returns by selling them yourself. This service is catered to people who value their time, do not want to deal with multiple transactions, and want to let go of their items quickly.
You may still provide us with a list, and we will advise accordingly.

Are Banpresto, FuRyu and Sega considered prize figures?

Yes, they are considered claw machine prize figures.

Do you accept anime merchandise like badges, soft toys, or posters?

We do not quote these items. Items passed to us are usually shared with our community as a gesture of goodwill and appreciation for their support, or donated.

However, if any high-value items are found among them, we will include them in the final quotation.

Why are you not able to quote items individually?

Quotations are given based on the entire collection. We buy back items in bulk.

Why is the quotation low?

Our quotation is based on market trends, demand, item condition, storage space, manpower, cleaning tools, and the time needed to sell the items. Whatever we buy back, we need to be able to resell.

We understand this can be disappointing — it pains us as much as it does you. If your items have sentimental value or you want to maximise returns, we strongly recommend selling them yourself.

However, as the saying goes, if money can buy time, it is often worth it.

Is the pickup free?

Yes, pickup is free for quotations above $800.

I don’t have time to provide a list. What can I do?

No worries! You may simply provide us with photos of the items. We will assume the items are in good condition based on the photos provided. If the condition differs when we receive them, the quotation will be adjusted accordingly.

Listings will be chargeable at $10 per 50 items, but it will be waived for successful buy back collection. 

How is the condition of a pre-owned item assessed?

A general condition assessment is provided in the product description of each item labelled “Pre-Owned.” This assessment is based on Toy Coin’s visual inspection and may differ from individual expectations.

We make reasonable efforts to disclose any visible defects, missing accessories or box damage. If you require more details, please request photographs of the actual item before placing your order.
