Review summary

Many people appreciate the exceptional customer support, noting their helpfulness, quick responses, and attentive guidance throughout the shopping experience, even for complex requests.

Real customer service and bespoke proxy agent services

These people are great. They will negotiate prices with sellers and they don’t require preset tariff charges. They’ll also consolidate boxes and actually provide real customer service and accommodate your requests. No seriously, they will do stuff Buyee would never dream of to make your experience amazing. This isn’t corporate, it’s personal.

Ordered twice but never again

Ordered twice but never again, beware of the expensive fees...Ordered one item which was fine, although on the expensive side postage wise but it was a large item so understandable, but then ordered a bundle of items which were smaller, and ended up paying nearly £70 in fees and postage (nearly 20 in fees!!!)
The items were on ebay and it's cost about the same as if I'd bought them on there(free postage on those items on there) and mistakenly thought it was cheaper this way. Back to ebay I go then.
Would have been 2 stars but the third star was for the first order.

Love This Company

I don’t leave reviews often, but I had such a positive experience with FromJapan, that I felt the need to share. Genuinely couldn’t be happier. Everything was shipped with care and was extremely quick. Their website provided clear guidance on shipping options and cost, and there were no hidden fees, etc. Even with overseas shipping, I paid FAR less for collectibles from Japan than I would have using eBay. I’ll definitely be a repeat customer.

From Japan team, always there to assist

From Japan have a great team as staff. I needed help in getting a good deal in Mercari from a seller who had been posting an item I wanted for weeks. I thought requesting a discount was possible. So, with all the care and patience, the staff guided me to get the best deal and, at the end, I got what I wanted at a great price! Thank you From Japan team ^_^

First time using them as my proxy service, and I have to say I had a pleasant experience with them. I consolidated 3 items and actually was worried about how they would be packaged. But I was pleasantly surprised to find my items quite secured to avoid them moving in transit.

I still have some other items to ship out, so I’m looking forward to getting those.

What an amazing company

What an amazing company . The level of service and professionalism is simply incredible . Jake ,Orion ,Yuki and Dwight -yes you get to interact with real people -helped me immensely in securing and item I had wanted for a long time. Nothing was too much trouble and they were helpful and gracious all throughout the process. And the items are of top quality and the shipping is fast and efficient. Wholeheartedly recommend this company

A very good website for shopping in Japan. There are many Japanese websites on one website. Customer support is excellent, fast, and consistent. Shopping is easy and combining multiple orders into one reduces shipping costs to the Netherlands. The packaging is excellent and items are protected from damage during transport. I will definitely use their service again. I recommend it to anyone who wants to buy something directly from Japan. Kudos to the support team for their helpfulness and explanations, which helped me understand the entire system and the culture of shopping in Japan.
I wish everyone happy shopping and the staff a pleasant work.
Best regards, Darius.

First purchase on FromJapan

Sharing my first purchase on FromJapan

POSITIVE
1. Zero foreign transaction service fees
Paypal/Stripe charges a small percentage for foreign transaction service fees but FromJapan does not. For example your credit card gets charged for 10000 yen instead of 10000+350 yen

2. Generous campaigns
For example 8% off Mercari and 10% off JDirectItems Auctions. Also there is FJ Mall discounts too.

3. Clear differentiation of fees
There are Charge1 and Charge2 which shows the separate fees for example item fees, service fees, tax if applicable, shipping fees etc

4. Huge selection of shipping options
Compared to other 3 proxies I have used, FJ has the best selection of shipping options! Prices are quite accurate too when matched against the provider's actual website.

5. Price negotiation on select items
Some items allows price negotiation up to 10% with the seller.

6. Fast withdrawal/release of funds
If you release your fund before end of business day, you get your funds back on the same day.

7. Good customer service and quick response

NEGATIVE
1. Lack of information
- no history of failed purchases or auctions
- no details on size/weight on shipped parcel

2. Confusing bidding on JDirectItems with tax
I missed to apply a coupon on my first bid of 4700 yen (before tax), so I went to place the next higher bid of 4800 yen (increment of 100 yen) to apply the coupon. However I can only place a bid of 5270 yen (4700 + increment 100 + tax 470). I reached out to customer support but they are unable to help and just mentioned this may be because the current bid is already higher than 4800 yen, yet there is no other bid for the item except for my very first bid of 4700 yen! I just gave up on bidding the item after that.

3. Confusing navigation
- no direct link to order history; you have to go inside each shipping history to get to the order details
- many of the link on Service Menu seems not useful as I hardly need to click on it

Straightforward and timely, note extra fees for domestic shipping

Great service. Linking to the original Mercari Japan listing was easy. Then you go through 2 charges before receiving the item. First, I was charged the item's original price, and FROM JAPAN handles the actual purchasing of the item. It took about a week for the item to arrive at FROM JAPAN's warehouse, which then prompted me to supply them my shipping address. For the 2nd charge, you pay a commission fee and shipping fees. Because I was shipping within Japan, I had to pay an extra 1,661 yen (1,220 for domestic shipping within Japan + 441 for non-international delivery fee), so just expect that extra cost if you're trying to ship to a Japan address. I received the item within 48 hours. I did have to sign for it, so unsure what would have happened if I was not home to receive it. Item is as described, so I'm happy 👍

Absolutely terrible customer service

Absolutely terrible customer service. I placed 7 orders through FJ three days ago, and today I decided to check their status, but I couldn't log into my account! Support responded by email saying they found it impossible to provide me with services! I paid a total of $700 for these orders, and they simply blocked me and took my money. Scammers.
