Hetalia Buy Guide: List of Forwarders and Proxies (+ Proxy Review)

Sometimes you see something really awesome but the shop doesn’t offer international shipping. You have the funds, what to do?

To start off, let me define the difference between a forwarder and a proxy. A forwarder simply ships the product to you. Lets say that the shop in question accepts paypal but they do not ship overseas. A forwarder will give you a temporary address that you can send your package to and then the forwarder will charge you a storage fee + international shipping to send the package back to you.

A proxy on the other hand will buy the item on your behalf, accept the package for you and then ship it out to you. Using a proxy is more expensive BUT I highly recommend it for first time buyers (especially if you have anxiety or just nervous about online shopping in general). A proxy will charge you purchase fees + domestic shipping + international fees + any additional necessary fees.

To sum it up: A forwarder provides you an address to ship the package to, you pay for the item by yourself, and you pay the forwarder for international shipping costs and forwarding fees. A proxy will pay for your item on your behalf, accept your package, and ship it out for you.

There are many different forwarders and proxy services available, so here is a small list I found. Some businesses offer both proxy and forwarding service while others only do forwarding or proxy. I’ve only used 1 service (ZenMarket) so I cannot answer any questions/asks about other services on the list.

Tenso

ZenMarket

CDJapan (Using CDJapan proxy helps financially support this blog)

WhiteRabbit

Big In Japan

Samurai Buyer

Goody Japan: Note, highly recommended for Toranoana due to their flat 500 yen rate.

Fan Services: Note this is a proxy service that can purchase event exclusive goods that do not have an online shop. Very, very expensive, but it’s an option if there’s no other places available to purchase your goods.

Now, let me give a review of a proxy that I recently used: Zen Market. The review is under the cut

So today, I’m going to review ZenMarket. For me, I highly recommend using this service if this is your first time using these services since everything is in English and it’s easy to purchase goods.

When you sign up for a ZenMarket account, you get 300 yen in your account which can be used to pay your balance. you should see this pop up when you visit the website for the first time. (Put in your email and then it will ask for a password for your account creation).

To buy items, simply copy and paste the url of what you want and then you wait (no more than 12 hours) for ZenMarket to send you a quote (the quote includes the item cost, any domestic shipping costs, and the 300 yen per item fee). Once you see the quote, you load up your account with money (There are several ways to do so, either directly by PayPal, Credit, Card, etc.) to add money, simply click on the “Payments” tab to add money. You should see something like this. (direct image link in case it’s too small to see) [Ignore the 2,400 yen in the screenshot, it’s just my balance].

After paying for the items, that’s it! Now you just have to wait for your items to arrive. You can store your items for 45 days for free, after that you are charged 50 yen per day, up to an additional 45 days. After the 90th day, your items are thrown away with no compensation.

Advantages to using ZenMarket for Beginners

No service fees (some proxies charge an additional percentage fee on top of a purchasing fee.)

300 yen flat fee no matter the price of the item

Can combine packages from other stores (storage up to 45 days)

Able to get quotes quickly

Fluent English help and email support.

So that’s it for my review, if you have any questions about ZenMarket, please take a quick look at their Fees FAQ and then if you’re still confused, send an ask.
