Title: Looking for a Japanese user to proxy clothes
Post by: hwood34 on Fri, 02 November 2018, 12:32:20
I wanted to get some clothes from a Japanese brand or two (so an easy ship) and figured if I could just get someone here to help me instead of using a proxy service, I could save quite a bit. Hit me up if you can help  :-*. Might also need some help with translation and sizing cause Kapital has to be doing something weird with their measurements...

I can proxy things if you're still looking.

Kapital probably, maybe Blue Blue Japan. They all have substantial markups here, but with the fees that most proxies charge, I wouldn't end up saving all that much

Yeah I've noticed as well. I've grabbed a couple visvim items from y!jp auctions and proxy/shipping fees weren't too awful, but going your route is a much better idea.

What service did you use? White Rabbit was charging a 9.9% service fee which adds up real fast

Buyee.jp, I've bought both clothes and keyboards using them, would definitely recommend.
