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:
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.

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.

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