Proxy Shopping Service

What to Do When the Doll You Want Is Available Only in Japan?

– It’s Proxy Shopping Service to the Rescue! –

There are times when the doll you want is exclusively sold in Japan.

No shops will ship her internationally.

A normal reaction is to give up and admire the doll from a far 🙁

But we’re here to tell you, not to give up . . . yet!

Because there are proxy shopping services who can swoop in and save you from dolly despair.

So before you surrender to the sadness, read through this Proxy Shopping Service to the Rescue guide!

Learn how proxy shopping services work and how they can save your day!

What’s a Proxy Shopping Service?

A proxy shopping service (also know as a proxy) is a company who helps customers buy items that are not available outside of Japan

You’ll tell the proxy service about the items you want to buy and they’ll go out and order the items for you.

They’ll require you to pay for the items and all fees associated with getting the items delivered to you.

Using a proxy is more expensive then buying a doll from hobby shops like Hobby Search.

But it’s one of the better options when it comes to getting a doll you can’t live without.

Buyee Testimonial:

I’ve used Buyee to order / buy items from Yahoo Japan. I’m a technophobe, but I managed to work it out Ok and quickly, which was very helpful.

[. . .] I would say the use of these services is great for those ‘rare-must-have’ items, but for ‘run-of-the-mill’ items… buy direct if possible and save paying the fees!!!

They Do add to the costs and therefore (for me UK) the import fees/taxes!John B
