Excellent Service

I have been using ZenMarket for months after using another site to buy goods from Japan and I can do nothing but sing their praises. The way they package the items to the speed they send out the items is brilliant and the staff have been brilliant too when I have needed to contact them.

Great packaging as always

You can feel the attention to detail because I spent a good 5 minutes to unwrap it. Rediscovering my childhood classics years later and ordering them is a great boon for me. Thanks to all zenmarket employees who processed, wrapped, shipped my order.

Really fast shipping, compact packaging

Really fast shipping to Australia and surprisingly not too expensive, took only 6 days for my package to get to me! Item (larger plush) was packed nice and compact in a polymer satchel in its original plastic wrapping with the tag. Really good experience overall, would reccomend giving them a shot for proxy shipping from Japan.

My favorite proxy service

My items were packaged really securely and there was no wasted space in my parcel. The parcel was dispatched quickly too. The Zenmarket staff are incredibly helpful and my items were bought really quickly! Zenmarket is my favorite proxy to use because the process of buying items is easy and the staff are always willing to help if there is any issues! :)

Frequently asked questions

ZenMarket is a purchasing intermediary for Japan, also known as a purchasing proxy, or proxy buying service, i.e. a service that allows you to buy products from Japanese sites from home, even if you aren't in Japan.

It's worth noting that the vast majority of Japanese sites and stores do not deliver outside Japan. This is the case for Mercari, one of Japan's leading e-commerce platforms.

ZenMarket is your key to unlocking the door to all those exclusive Japanese products you can't buy any other way.

Shopping Japan with ZenMarket offers many advantages:

  • Registration is quick, easy and totally free.
  • Shop at Mercari and other Japanese sites.
  • Consolidate all your purchases into a single shopping cart.
  • Choose your preferred payment method.
  • Choose your preferred shipping method
  • Choose your preferred packing strategy: combine all your items in one parcel, or ship them separately.
  • Free 60-day storage in our warehouses so you have time to organize your orders! Maximum storage period is up to 90 days.
  • Shipping insurance is included in our service charges.
  • Shop and receive native support in your choice of 19 languages including English!
  • We'll give you personal assistance at every stage of your order.

We ship to most countries/regions. Please check shipping options for your country in our shipping fees calculator.

If no shipping methods appear for your country/region, it is unlikely we will be able to ship to your desired destination, meaning you will be unable to make use of this campaign.

Destination availability is subject to change based on the routes we are given access to by our shipping providers. 

ZenMarket do not ship to any of the following destinations: Afghanistan, Belarus, Central Africa, Cuba, DR Congo, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Russia, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, and Syria.

ZenMarket charges a flat 500 yen fee per item. Here are some examples:

  • Anime figure for 7,000 yen - service fee of 500 yen.
  • 10-pack of instant ramen for 3,000 yen - service fee of 500 yen.
  • Pre-loved luxury bag for 40,000 yen - service fee of 500 yen. 

Multiples of an identical item purchased in one transaction do not multiply the fee. Buy in bulk and save! 

ZenMarket stores your items for free in the warehouse for 60 days, giving you plenty of time to consolidate multiple orders into one parcel for international shipping.

If you want to store your items in our warehouse for more than 60 days, it will cost you 50 yen per day per item.

Please note that after 90 days, you must have shipped your items or they will be disposed.

Yes, it is possible to pre-order items on Japanese sites. Please note that ZenMarket will receive the item only after the store has shipped it, which sometimes takes several weeks or even months. Therefore, we advise you to check the release and delivery dates carefully before pre-ordering items.

Yes, you can withdraw the funds you added to your ZenMarket account at any time. From "My Account," click on the "Payments" tab, where you'll find a "Withdraw" button. Click it and indicate the amount in yen you wish to withdraw.

Please note that there may be transfer fees when withdrawing funds depending on the chosen payment method.

You can track your orders from your ZenMarket account by going to the "My Account" section and selecting "My Orders" from the dropdown menu. There, you will find a list of all your orders with their current status and tracking information (if available).

If tracking information is available, you can click on the tracking number to view detailed tracking information from the shipping carrier's website.

Additionally, once your order is shipped, you will receive an email notification with the tracking information.

All ZenMarket parcels are insured for damage or loss at no additional cost.

As we must wait for the completion of an investigation by your chosen shipping carrier to receive the insurance payout, we ask for your patience in these matters.
