How to Buy 3COINS Travel Items: The ¥330 Glasses Case Is Worth Grabbing, the Vacuum Compressor Is Cheaper in Taiwan

Folding glasses case: Japan ¥330, about NT$69; Taiwan NT$99, buying in Japan saves NT$30. Japan source: PAL CLOSET (3COINS official channel) (2026-09-12); Taiwan source: momo in-house (shipped direct from Japan) (2026-09-12).

This item's Japan list price is lower, saving about NT$30. It suits someone who already has "broken glasses case, needs replacing" on their list; if you just think the color is cute, the low price alone isn't a reason you must buy it. The recorded data is for the folding style — don't compare it directly against a hard-shell zip case.

Luggage strap: ¥1,100 in Japan, about NT$228; NT$250 in Taiwan — buying in Japan saves NT$22. The Japan source is PAL CLOSET (3COINS' official online store) (2026-09-12), and the Taiwan source is a momo third-party storefront shipped directly from Japan (2026-09-12).

Japan and Taiwan's converted prices differ by only about NT$22. If you need it before you leave, it's more practical to confirm delivery time through a Taiwan retailer before buying; if you only realize you need it once you're in Japan, you can use this price as a reference. The price gap isn't enough to prove it's sturdier than other straps — this piece didn't run any load-bearing, durability, or slip tests.

Automatic Vacuum Compressor: Japan ¥1,100, about NT$228; Taiwan NT$195, buying in Taiwan saves NT$33. Japan source: 3COINS (2026-09-11); Taiwan source: momo third-party seller (cross-border direct from Japan) (2026-09-12).

This Taiwan price is about NT$33 lower. The Taiwan reference price comes from a momo third-party cross-border listing shipped directly from Japan, so check the shipping fee and delivery time separately. This counterexample shows that "an influencer recommended it" and "where to buy it" can be judged separately.

This model is recorded as a 90g, 1200mAh automatic vacuum compressor; the price for the unit alone doesn't mean it includes all the compression bags. Confirm whether you already have a compatible bag opening and the accessories you need before calculating the full set's cost. Compression storage changes how much space clothing takes up — it doesn't reduce your luggage's weight.

You can split this into two columns first: things you'll definitely need during the trip, and things you'll decide whether to restock once you're in Japan. If you need to secure your luggage on the way there, handle the strap first; if your current glasses case still works, there's no rush to replace it; for the vacuum pump, compare the unit itself, bags, and other costs together.

The Taiwan reference prices for these three items come from retailers already logged here; that doesn't mean 3COINS runs the same directly-operated stores in Taiwan, nor is it the lowest price market-wide. See the comparison table below for the retailer and matched spec; still verify the current list price before ordering.
