THRIVE live goodies & proxy review
I used @beansproutsong’s proxy service cause a friend of mine recommended her to me and I was very happy! She responded really quickly with what I needed and her service price is great 👍🏻 Everything was packaged nicely as well. Def will use her service again in the future! If you want foods from Japan, hit her up :D
Thanks so much again!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Proxy market is growing every day and the reason for that is very simple — proxies are more than necessary and not only when it comes to…
Proxy/shopper recommendation!
For any of you wanting to get items from KyoAni’s online shop, I recommend ordering via @beansproutsong. I sent her a message inquiring about proxy fees and domestic shipping and ultimately went with her as her fees were the best out of all the shops I checked. She answers quickly and even offered to find in other sites the sold-out item I wanted from KyoAni’s store. So please check out her blog - she often goes to stage plays, events, collab/popup cafes, exhibitions and more where she could get you that rare Japan-only item on your wishlist!
My 2019 Free! Dive to the Future calendar arrived today. Thank you for getting it for me, beansproutsong!
The calendar’s big (came with freebie MHA postcards - for size!).
Korean Buddy Review #1: Skin Care & Gintama Fan Merchandise ^o^
Hi there! I just wanted to give a quick review to Korean Buddy! If you provide the link, the commission is only 10% whereas if you don’t, they’ll help look for it and the fee will be 20%. You will first be sent The charges are much cheaper than the previous proxies I used before >__<;;; and they even allowed me to get mail order from doujin artists which is really amazing (ah most don’t and the ones that do...have like 30USD commission RIP me). You have the option of paying through Paypal, Bitcoin and Credit card. Fellow Canadians, you can pay in CAD here which is is like awesome!! Honestly, no other proxies do that so bless you KB <3 You can also send a shopping list and you are connected to KB through a useful messenger. I was really excited to order from the Korean websites instead of the North American ones since it’s much much cheaper and have better sales and variety.
I chose EMS shipping as some items were a gift for a friend and it was packaged very well ^^ The box smelled really pretty when I opened it aha but that’s skincare for you LOL and it came promptly with no custom fees thankfully (4 days/EMS). Everything was in their original packaging and I got freebies from all 4 stores. You can combine shops as well since some proxies apparently don’t allow it which is news to me. They constantly updated every step of the way and if they had any problems. Also, they were pretty understanding when I constantly wanted to add on and split parcels (I’M SO SORRY ToT). The Etude House Moisturizer box was slightly dented upon arrival but that’s to be expected from my parcel service aha LOL Thank you so much, you’re a gem <3
My only concern is that sometimes it took a bit of time to get a response but if there was something that was time sensitive, I’m sure I could send a message and they would reply ASAP to let me know if this was possible. I’ll be making another order soon, thank you!! If you want something cheap, relatively prompt and efficient as well as easy to understand, then this is for you! Thank you <33333333

Service / Proxy Review
Service: Noppin (Formerly known as Crescent Shop)
General Information: A proxy service located in Fukuoka, Japan. What makes Noppin one of my preferable shoppers to use is their real time bidding system – you can enter automated bids after searching your items directly from their YAJ search bar. (For those who are unfamiliar with the terminology, this basically means that instead of sending an email or form with your order to the service and waiting for a bid to be placed, you can enter your bid amount and have the bid placed directly from the site with no wait time – given that the server is up, which it typically is). Noppin allows storage of items for 60 days after acceptance at their warehouse, so you can easily combine international shipping. Their fees are cheaper than most (starting at 500 yen), and they are available from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Japan time, from Monday to Friday (excluding Japanese holidays). The staff are helpful and answer questions promptly.
Shipping: EMS, Airmail (international parcel and small packet), SAL (international parcel and small packet)
Usage Fees: Starts at 500 yen for items up to 4000 yen. Check their rate table for further information: http://www.noppin.com/portal_pages/our_fees_for_auction_service This does not include the typical proxy prices for domestic shipping (from original seller to shopper), bank fee (typical transfer method in Japan for YAJ transactions), and the surcharges for any shipping method that is NOT EMS.
My Experience: I had an excellent experience with Noppin – their real time bidding system never failed me, so I was able to bid on the items that I wanted up until the last few minutes. The staff were quick to reply to my questions – within 24 hours – and were willing to provide a quote with the price for my package, inclusive of all international shipping methods, so I could determine which one to use. The package was packed well – a layer of plastic and bubble tape within a cardboard box, which arrived undamaged via EMS. Their fees are also relatively low compared to many sites that I’ve seen – as a personal example, I’ll simply give one of my price quotes from them to illustrate. This was an order for a set of 5 16cm cotton candy Arpakasso: Won Amount:2,800 JPY x 1 : 2,800 JPY Domestic Shipping : 390 JPY Bank Wire : 250 JPY Other Cost : 0 JPY Service Fee : 500 JPY ------------------------------------------------------- Item Total : 3,940 JPY (48.60 USD) My international shipping was 2200 yen (27.14 USD) total, for 11 items! The shipment consisted of 4 15cm plush, 5 16cm plush, one phone case, and one small keychain. If you do not ship via EMS like I did, there is a 100 yen per 1kg surcharge for the other shipping methods.
Note that they give you a little window that shows your items that are in storage at their warehouse (marked 'arrived' if they are at the warehouse, not marked if they are in transit from the seller), and you must send a packing request in order for them to pack and ship your items. Packing and processing takes up to 2 days, and they only work on orders on business days - so the only problem is that you can't have them send out your items early in the week. Luckily, if you're trying to catch the mailman, things should arrive by the weekend if you send a request early in the week.
Additional Information: Noppin requires a deposit in order to bid on auctions, which is a minimum of 2000 yen. The max bid amount is 3x your deposit, so if you use the minimum, you have a total bid power of 6000 yen. When you bid on an item and win, your deposit is not reset until you pay for your items, however.
You can also set up your PayPal account to automatically accept transactions from them, which you initiate through the payment pages (so they won't charge you for anything you don't want).
Make sure to pay for your won items on time - sometimes it's a bit hard to see, as you have to go to your portal and click on the 'auctions list.' Check the pay box and you can see the total price and pay for the item there. You have 7 days after you are quoted to pay for the items, after which they auto-charge your PayPal. If that doesn't work, you get a fee. :c
Recommended? Yes!

Service / Proxy Review
Service Name: Tenso (http://www.tenso.com/en/) General Information: Tenso is different from most shopping services in that Tenso offers a Japanese forwarding address for you to ship packages to from Japanese websites. *Tenso does also offer traditional shopping services but they are a bit pricier than others I've found (1500yen fee for items up to 10000yen) and I've not tried that so I can only review their forwarding service. Tenso offers free sign up. You will receive a Japanese address that you can use in shopping on Japanese websites like Rakuten, Amazon.jp, etc. You pay for the item(s) on the website and for domestic shipping within Japan. The seller ships your package to your Tenso address. When Tenso receives it, they notify you and invoice you for usage fee and international shipping. They also offer package consolidation if you have several packages from different sellers and wish to save a bit on shipping costs. Shipping: EMS offered - personal example EMS shipping costs: 1200yen for several small (16cm and under) Arpakassos or 3200yen for two 35cm Arpakassos Usage Fees: usage fee starts at 490yen for packages up to 1kg in weight *Note: they are closed Saturdays, Sundays, and Japanese holidays My experience: Tenso has provided me with excellent and prompt service. I've been more than happy with my orders through them. *Tenso may be a good option if you want to pay a lower usage fee and feel comfortable placing your own orders. Japanese websites can be confusing so I personally have only placed my Tenso orders through Rakuten because it saves my user information and address, making it much easier for me to place subsequent orders. Just a thought! Recommended? Yes
