Recommended shopping deputies

[(Anonymous)]

As a collector I've used English-speaking shopping deputies situated in Japan for both fandom and non-fandom things since like 2003 or 2004, for hundreds of parcels. Clothes, accessories, toys, collectibles, cheap handmade jewelry, school supplies, etc. ^^

From experience I recommend shoppingmalljapan.com and fromjapan.co.jp, they have thousands of customers, same with rinkya.com (my first deputy) and noppin.com. If you want to do your own research and decide for yourself, just Google "Japan auction shopping deputy" and you'll see more hits that you can count. ^^

Through deputies you can bid on Yahoo!Japan auctions and order from Japanese online shops. :) There's lots of good deals and sales and used items that are basically as new but cost like 30-50% of the original price, and it isn't difficult to find items that cost less with deputy fees and shipping on top, compared to eBay's inflated prices and greedy sellers!

It cracks me up when something for $50 + $25 EMS shipping worldwide on eBay is listed at 1000 JPY on Y!J. I see it all the time and feel sorry for those who only use eBay. The same sellers get their stuff on Y!J for dirt cheap and re-sell it to inexperienced/desperate buyers on eBay. It sucks. They even have the nerve to call items "SUPER RARE!" when there's a handful of them getting relisted on Y!J week after week with no bids.

DA

Thanks for the info! SMJ is one of the ones I've looked into. Have you had any problems with them?

You're welcome! I haven't had any problems with SMJ and they've been my main deputy for about 10 years now. ^^ They offer different kinds of shipping, the online translator they have for auctions is very helpful, they give you two weeks to pay for an invoice unlike most other deputies and even grant you extra days if you email them about it, etc. Don't think I'd have gotten as many wishlist items over the years if it was required to send payment right away. :)

That's actually pretty nifty to know. That two week period to pay the invoice will come in very handy for me. Thank you again!

I used From Japan recently and had no issues with them! My only addition would be that the new merch releases tend to be iffy with how well it goes for deputy orders because Premium Bandai sometimes places a 5-item limit per individual, and most deputy sites will count as "individuals." I've had to ask friends to place orders for those cases.

It's almost always for the make-up, too.
