How to estimate
Please send us the following information via PM or contact us if you would like us to estimate your shopping first.
10% proxy fee is fixed fee we provide our servie to every buyer.
- Item tile with the style #
- Size (Don't forget sending this info.)
- Quantity
- Your country

Example:
- Getting a pair of denim jeans
I assume that a buyer located in the US is buying a pair of denim jeans in a size 32 priced 18,690 JPY through our proxy service. The total amount will be estimated likely below.

(Item Cost: 18,690 JPY + Domestic Shipping Cost: 0 JPY) X 10% Proxy Fee: 1,869 JPY + S&H Cost: 2,800 JPY = Total Amount: 21,490 JPY

A pair of denim jeans in a size up to 34 is usually handled as 1000g weight
A pair of denim jeans in a size over 34 is usually handled as 1250g weight

Note: Domestic shipping cost is usually NOT required for purchasing an item priced over 8000-10000 JPY. But, It should be determined on the basis of the policy of the each store.


Policy
- All items which we will suggest must be authentic items. We will never offer any fake items.
- Every item transaction will be proceeded under the Japanese law and shipped worldwide under the international postal law.
- Every item which we purchased instead of a buyer will be offered to the buyer under the policy provided by the web shop the buyer requested. (As an example, almost Japanese sellers accept item returns which are claimed within 7-10 days after the item was shipped. This means that almost international buyers will be excepted from the return policy. We will do our best to improve the situation if it happens. But the item return would be accepted or not will never be guaranteed by our proxy service)
- The item listed on this thread and/or the item offered as small fee item will be accepted item return in case the item was claimed within 14 days after we shipped the item. But the next condition will be applied as well.
- Trouble with sizing and/or specially arranged item basically will not be accepted any return in any case of the items offered through this proxy service. Please post your question regarding especially for your sizing before placing an order if you are not sure about anything related your shopping. We will help you as well as we can.

One of the largest denim & clothing retailer in Japan every denim shop knows. They are organized by multiple individual shops located in Tokyo and Osaka and they carry so many brands with multiple quantities. They usually keep me update and send a swift notification if any changes. Their jackets are usually stocked in their warehouse to be highly reserved and it would take a few days for shipping an order.


VARI (a special page for international buyers)
Awesome reliable seller very possitive for offering items worldwide and they provide smooth communication in English.

Very reliable seller who is very positive to equally offer their item to international buyers just like a domestic order. An adviser (a friend of mine) is taking care of the seller to support an order sent from outside of Japan. They provide very smooth item transaction and respond to international buyers in English quickly.


Not Recommended Stores:

Klax-on
Approx 60-70% of items were not available after I placed orders. Their stock availability is unreliable.
