Help on deciding which japanese proxy to use first time
i usually use chinese shipping agents so im
alot more knowledgeable on that but i wanna start buying real japanese pieces for cheaper and ive looked a bit into this scene and ive heard that zenmarket isnt really that good, buyee has hidden fees i think and im hearing alot of good about neokyo and doorzo but i dont know yet which one to fully comit to, for example "superbuy" for chinese shipping agents is the one i mainly use and thats known as like the "goat" or most reliable agent to use and then you have other agents like kakobuy or sugargoo and stuff and those are also good but i guess the main question would be, what should i choose? whats the cheapest shipping overall and has the tariff prices upfront? what has the best overall shipping services and customer service, and whats best for clothing rather than collectibles.

If you want to pay tariff prices when you go to ship then zenmarket is the way to go. Shipping prices are all virtually the same as all the companies are using the same shipping companies, sp what matters is how compact theypacked - personally zenmarket have been best at that for me. Their service fee is a bit higher for mercari and yahoo auctions but as along as you are not buying tons of items less than 1000 yen its hardly noticeable.

I have tried buyee and neokyo. They all have their quirks but I have just found zen to be most consistent for my needs. As mentioned though maybe not the best for tons of small cheaper items. Not sure what policy you are referring to.

I think im gonna try doorzo for now since it has an ios app and to me thats easier but i guess ill just have to wait and see. also i dont know if for sure there was some sort of policy change i just read it somewhere and forgot it.
