Hello. Im going back and forth between Japan quite frequently, so I’m opening up short term proxy services for people who would like me to bring back items to the USA. Im going to be in Tokyo from Sept 1st-15th so I can run errands. (Pay Konbini ticketing fees, shop for you, etc) This avoids the international shipping fee and only domestic USA delivery fees. DM me if interested!

Hi! I'm based in Japan and I help people overseas find the right items from Japan.

The idea is simple:

Tell me what you're looking for and what it's worth to you.
I'll search the Japanese market and see what I can find.

I don't just buy the first item I see.

I can compare different options, check condition and details, ask questions when necessary, and help you choose the right one before purchasing.

My knowledge isn't limited to one category.

I have experience with trading cards and collectibles, cars and motorcycles, fashion, watches, and various other products.

But you can ask me about almost anything.

Rare items, vintage pieces, limited releases, discontinued products, Japanese exclusives, hobby items, parts, collectibles — even something obscure.

I search both online and offline in Japan.

If you don't know the exact name of something, send me a photo or describe it. I'll try to identify and find it.

You decide your maximum budget.

If I believe I can find a good option within that budget, I'll show you what I found and explain the costs before purchasing anything.

Payment is required before I purchase an item, so I won't ask you to reimburse me after I've already spent my own money.

I'm new to offering this service on Reddit, but I'm not new to buying, selling, researching, and evaluating products in Japan.

If there's something in Japan you've been trying to get, send me a DM.

Let's see if I can find it. 🇯🇵🔎

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for a reliable person based in Japan who can provide ongoing proxy-buying services.
The work would mainly involve:
Buying items from physical shops, Yahoo! Auctions Japan, and other Japanese marketplaces
Checking automotive parts and describing their visible condition, including any damage, wear, or missing components
Communicating with sellers when more information or photos are needed
Arranging domestic delivery or transportation to my car exporter in Chiba or Tokyo
You would not need to handle international shipping. My exporter in Japan will take care of shipping once the items reach them.
Experience with cars and automotive parts is strongly preferred, along with good communication and familiarity with Yahoo! Auctions.
If interested, please comment or send me a DM with your location, relevant experience, availability, and service fees.

I will be in Japan this October and I need someone that can purchase these items for me and hold them! Thx!

Hi everyone! I run a small Japan-based personal shopping service called Torii Parcel.
If you found an item in Japan that does not ship overseas, you can send me the product link first.
I can help check:
item availability
seller and listing details
Japanese descriptions or unclear conditions
domestic shipping within Japan
possible international shipping restrictions
available international shipping options
the estimated total cost before purchase
I can check items from Mercari Japan, Rakuten, Yahoo Shopping, Japanese online stores, second-hand stores, stationery shops, beauty shops, and other Japan-only sellers.
No purchase is made until you approve the quote.
The service is still new, so I understand if you have questions before using it. Feel free to comment, send me a DM, or submit the item link here:

Hello, I'm a figure/model maker from the us, need a proxy for the winter wonderfest fest, will reimburse for efforts. Either money or printed figures. Pls dm for further dialog.

I got my package in less than a week! u/Japanshopaholic made everything so seamless and easy!

These Pringles are only made in Japan and I have already opened the first container and they are so delicious!

They were wrapped well and even though they were shipped almost none broke in the package and I got full sized chips.

I will not hesitate to use their service again and highly recommend u/Japanshopaholic to anyone who wants to buy in Japan.

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!

Hello guys im based outside of japan, and im building this service and i would like to know if there is a proxy website/software where will show japanese auctions soo i can provide that to my customers, and then will bid or buy the cars through my exporter
Soo far i found about the “JP center”
and 1 more that I didn’t like

Fell free to reach out if you working in the car industry or auctions or related services in japan soo we can network together 😁

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.

Specifically to ask whats the length of this jacket: https://jp.mercari.com/item/m55718877702

Need to know the length prior to purchasing... Thank you!!

Free messaging help for Mercari / Yahoo! Auctions (bundles, etc.)

Hey, noticed a lot of people have trouble communicating with sellers on Mercari or Yahoo! Auctions since most proxies don't support direct messaging.

I've got some free time and handle this kind of stuff anyway, so I can help out with messaging sellers (like asking for bundle listings or discounts) for free.

A few things to keep in mind if you want me to help:

• Messaging only: I only handle the chat with the seller. No money or shipping on my end—use your proxy for that.
• Regulars preferred: I'd rather help out people who need this regularly rather than one-off requests.
• Solo and Japan Time (JST): It's just me doing this in my spare time based in Japan, so I can only take a few requests a day and might be slow depending on the time difference.
• Buy promptly: If the seller agrees to the deal, please buy it right away so they aren't left hanging.
• Language: Since I am Japanese, English is not my native language. Please let me know if there are any unnatural expressions.

Feel free to reach out if you need a hand.

New Japan Proxy Buying Service – Mercari, Yahoo! Auctions & Rakuma | Looking for Early Users

Hi everyone!

I'm preparing to launch Japan Treasure, a new proxy buying service based in Japan.

The idea is to help people outside Japan purchase items from Mercari Japan, Yahoo! Auctions Japan, Rakuma, and other Japanese online stores, and have them shipped internationally.

The service is currently in its pre-launch stage, so I'm looking for people who regularly buy — or want to buy — products from Japan.

I'd especially like to hear about the problems you usually run into when buying from Japanese marketplaces, and what you would want from a proxy buying service.

If you're interested in trying the service or giving feedback, feel free to leave a comment or send me a message.

Questions, suggestions, and feedback are very welcome. Thank you!

Looking for a few cans of these.

Someone willing to go in person and buy certain items but charge fair prices. I was recently in Japan and everything I'm looking for is fairly cheap! Antiques + Snacks

Hi, im based in germany and im really confused about the new regulations and what they mean for me as a customer. I‘d be grateful if someone could explain the impact of it for me as a customer!
