How to Safely Shop from Japanese Marketplaces by Japanese proxy shopping

Japanese marketplaces are home to a wide variety of unique products, including limited-edition anime goods, rare trading cards, exclusive electronics, and vintage luxury items. However, many Japanese online stores don’t offer international shipping. Proxy shopping solves this problem, allowing global buyers to purchase Japanese-only items with ease and have them shipped internationally.

1. Choose a Reputable Proxy Service

Opt for trusted services like J-Subculture, known for reliable shipping and customer support.

2. Explore Multiple Marketplaces

Look for deals across Japan’s popular and legitimate marketplaces, such as Mercari Japan, Yahoo! Japan Fleamarket and Auction, Rakuten Rakuma, and Surugaya. These platforms offer a wide range of products, from collectibles to vintage goods.

3. Understand Fees & Shipping

Be mindful of proxy service fees and international shipping costs. Consider consolidating multiple orders into one shipment to save on shipping expenses. J-Subculture offers one of the most affordable services.
