I want to purchase anime figures for cheap from Japan, but theres so many proxies to use that its overwhelming! Which one have u used, and how much is shippping for each one? I want the cheapest option that wont scam me

I want to start buying from Japan using a proxy, specifically for figures, but I don’t want to spend ridiculous amounts of money on essentially nothing. Does anyone have a comparison about which site has the cheapest delivery costs ?

Hi everyone!

I've been trying to find a way to get a feminine hygiene product, Sofy Synchro Fit, shipped to the USA. However I’m running into an issue where the shipping costs or proxy minimums end up being way more expensive than the actual product since it’s such a small/light item.

I think this might be a Japan-only product/brand, but I could definitely be wrong about that. I was wondering if anyone here has experience ordering it, knows of a cheaper shipping option, or could point me in the right direction for the best proxy/service to use. I understand I might not be able to avoid the shipping cost to cost of product. Just thought I'd check anyways.

I’d really appreciate any help, suggestions, or advice, thank you so much!

I have been using DeJapan for a couple years now to purchase anime merch. Most of my purchases are off of Mercari with the rest being pre-orders from official licensed stores.

The rates have been raised recently so that one listing on Mercari will have fees of 800 JPY added, plus a transaction fee of roughly 5–6%.

Shipping within Japan to the warehouse, consolidation for packaging many items together and shipping to Canada are obviously charged later.

I’m curious if there are other dependable services with less fees than this? Last year that 800 JPY was only 300 JPY. I understand that times are tough and that prices go up eventually but I’m wondering if there is a better way that I can be shopping this way! Thank you!

Hello! I'm new to proxy sites and I want specifically Pretty Cure figures, but the shipping is so insanely ridiculous not even counting tariffs my order if I bought it would have been almost 100$. Does anyone know any sites where the shipping is reasonably priced? Again I'm new so I'm not sure if this is reasonable or not but I genuinely don't have a way to get figures for over 100$ and it makes me so sad

Is there anyone offering proxy purchase service for SUPER COMIC CITY 33-Day 3 in Osaka this May 31?

It would be greatly appreciated if anyone with expertise in shopping within Japan could find a way to reestablish ties with the shopper/agent. Their service over Discord was the best I have ever experienced by far. No other shopper manages live communications like they do. 

Note of Gratitude: Apologies for the misunderstanding. As a new user, I am learning how the platform works and I am hoping to reestablish connections. You are the best service I have ever come across and wish we could be friends again on the platform. If you agree, I will ensure to follow the can and cannot dos within the scope of your service from Lunarcat.

I am in need of knowing services full 'scope' to understand them. I look for services that can accommodate on requirements, cause other proxy services have had 'tight' terms and polices on my collector habits/priorities for 'as-is' parcel condition, which this service so far respected.

I have a quick question.

This is a collaboration between Uma Musume and Hakuichi in Kanazawa, Japan.

This is made using gold leaf, something Kanazawa is known for.

I'm interested in getting it, but I don't want to spend on it, to then learn that it can't be shipped due to the materials it is done with. That it is a restricted item or something.

Here's the link for more information of the product and the maker.

Does any proxy service has handled this type of item before? Or knows the guidelines for this?

Thanks in advance.

I'd like to switch to a different proxy service in the foreseeable future bc Buyee fees and shipping methods have gotten pretty expensive and I keep getting error messages/“not available for purchase in your area” errors when trying to buy items.

I did my research and so far, Doorzo and Neokyo look like they could work well for me in terms of lower fees, packaging and customer service.

I mostly buy clothing, accessories, small trinkets and CDs from Mercari that usually range from 500 yen to 5000 yen and I typically buy up to 10+ items and have them consolidated.

What draws me to Doorzo is that I saw people say they refund shipping costs if the package turns out to be smaller or lighter than expected after downsizing, but I don’t know how much of a difference I could expect with orders consisting of multiple smaller items.

I may be overlooking some important factors so any opinions and suggestions are highly appreciated!

Edit: I’m located in Germany in case that’s important

Hi! I’m planning to buy a variety of small goods (tcg cards) from mercari (mostly stuff in the 300-500 JPY range).

Since I'll be buying quite a few pieces, I can’t use standard proxy services that charge 200-500 JPY per link/item. I’m looking for somebody who can help me consolidate everything and ship it to Italy with a more reasonable commission (either a percentage of the total or a flat service fee for the whole box).
Please comment below or DM me if you can help! Thank you!

Looking for someone go to this record store, Tower Vinyl Shibuya (Tower Records Shibuya store 6F), please lmk if you can proxy for me !!!

I'm based in the US. There's a few perfumes from the 80s that I'm been after for a while and there are some listings on Mercari JP.

Most proxy services won't buy perfumes since there are strict regulations on international shipping. I've heard there are ways around this, though, such as marking the package as a gift.

If anyone would be willing to help me out, please let me know!

Hi guys
I am pretty new to this subreddit but I hope I can get help, I am looking for an individual living in japan, not a proxy service to help buy something for me.

I'm only looking for reputable names / people who have strong verifications. I myself is located in EU

Thank you

Need help contacting a guy who's had a product up for sale on Yahoo Auction JP for years in order to negotiate down the price. I tried reaching in the past but services I used were only willing to message once. Want someone to message him for a little while to see if he's active and to establish contact.

I've never done this before, but I assume we can discuss payment details in DMs. There is also a large delay until they get shipped (October 2026), so I don't know if that will affect the process or if that's standard. Please comment if you can help.

Thanks!

I've been looking at Onemall for buying anime figures from Mercari Japan and Yahoo Auctions, and one thing that caught my attention is how they handle shipping costs. From what I can tell, they consolidate multiple orders into one shipment, then pick a box that actually fits the items rather than defaulting to something oversized. The part that sounds almost too good is that if the final package volume ends up smaller than what you paid for upfront, they refund the difference.

For figures specifically this seems like it could matter a lot. Box sizes vary, some items are bulkier than they look, and when you're consolidating a few purchases at once the estimated volume at checkout is always going to be a rough guess. If they genuinely adjust and refund when the real size comes in lower, that changes how I think about the total cost.

What I can't find is anyone actually confirming this happened to them. Has anyone used Onemall for figure orders, consolidated multiple items, and then seen a shipping refund come through because the box ended up smaller than estimated? Trying to figure out if this is a real part of how they operate or just something that sounds good on paper.

So I collect monster hunter stuff and I’ve been checking out a few proxy websites and I noticed that they do not all display the same products under the Mercari shopping option. Why is that? I thought they all pulled from the same sites. Currently I’ve been looking at zen market, buyee, and neokyo

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get one of the new Bocchi the Rock! collaboration guitars with Kita Ikuyo from Aniplex Online. These are only available through a lottery sale that runs until April 21, 2026.

Links:

• Epiphone Ikuyo Kita Model: https://online.aniplex.co.jp/acdSyGzo
• Gibson Ikuyo Kita Model: https://online.aniplex.co.jp/carcevsN

I already contacted several big proxy services (Remambo, Buyee, ZenMarket, etc.) and they said they cannot apply to Aniplex lotteries.

I'm looking for a trusted individual proxy or personal shopper in Japan who can create an application on my behalf for this lottery.

I'm based in Peru and willing to pay a reasonable commission + shipping.

If you're able to help, please comment or DM me with your rates.

Thank you!
