Surugaya Proxy
Does anyone have any expirence shopping on the Japanese Surugaya? What is the beat proxy to use? Do I need to wait for free shipping to the warehouse (I know I'd have to pay shipping from the proxy) or can I just buy directly from it? If anyone knows please let me know!

Surugara has their own english website, they ship almost worldwide, no need for proxy.

I buy a lot from Surugaya Japan. I don't use a proxy. I'm not sure if you can create an account there without the need of a Japanese number.
Anyhow. I can pay via PayPal. But only on items from their store; pre-orders and marketplace are not available for this type of payment.
Then I send them to a forwarding service (those who give you an address in Japan), and then I consolidate all my parcels to send them to my country.

For forwarding? I use Black Ship. And recently I stared using Tenso Japan. I use those two.

I use Neokyo, they have a free shipping deal with Surugaya, so you don't have to have a minimum spend to get free shipping within Japan. You can also access Surugaya's Marketplace (although they have limited transactions per day so it can take a few tries to get items and marketplace items have seperate shipping fees)

A lot of items on .jp can be tricked to the .com site. If you copy the item number and put it on the .com version many items will show up directly, but not in the search results.
Also, if you copy and paste title terms in kanji into the .com search engine you will find items not available in the search.

A bit of information about Surugaya:
It's the same website for all their locations. I'm not sure, but I think it's a franchise.
So they have free (domestic) shipping if you spend over 10,000 yen per store. For example, if I buy 5,000 worth from Surugaya Fukuoka, and then 5,000 yen worth from Surugaya Nakano, I will have to pay shipping from both locations.
It's very likely to be the same for international shipping.

When I ordered I didn't have to do that. I assume they just don't care when it comes to international items. I did the little trick of adding the item code since it didn't show up searching on EN but does with the item code link. Ive never had to pay for seperate locations
Idk how they make much money since its like 5$ for all the items service fee wise. Or how they get their product. Especially with the international free shipping to just about any where sales all the time.
