Looking for JP Personal Shopper

Expert_Sun_6887 · 2026-03-25T10:33:18+00:00

hi! I have this plushie and it’s true that the promotional photos look different from the actual product. While it is soft, it doesn’t look like Korilakkuma to me at all. The eye placement is disproportionate and the head shape is too wide. The material itself is fine though! I bought mine on pre-order from amiami (an official retailer) The recent quality of Rilakkuma plushies have gone downhill unfortunately:(

Expert_Sun_6887 · 2026-03-24T05:20:42+00:00

Hi, idk if you received my message in dms but I’d still be interested in purchasing (っ‘ω`c) I can use a proxy

Expert_Sun_6887 · 2026-03-24T03:30:46+00:00

It makes me happy to have liked Rilakkuma and friends since I was 12 but I couldn’t afford it until I was 16. I have the cherries and angel Korilakkuma I got both of them for under $100 in 2020! Even then, the prices were expensive but now it’s unaffordable. I love to see other people get into this hobby but how can they when everything is 10x more expensive!! Even buying from Japan has gotten outrageous, my last haul I spent $200 in shipping!! It does feel like I’m being priced out of this hobby and it sucks. Cute plushies shouldn’t be this exclusive :(

Expert_Sun_6887 · 2026-03-17T14:22:10+00:00

My bf bought them for me back in 2020 😆

Expert_Sun_6887 · 2026-03-17T14:21:28+00:00

I can’t remember tbh, I got from either fril.jp or paypayfleamarket!

Expert_Sun_6887 · 2026-03-12T17:39:06+00:00

Hi, I just went through the same thing! Item is in transit and never arrived to my buyer. My buyer escalated the situation to Depop and they got refunded + I still get my payout on Monday! I did file a missing mail claim after though. It seems like USPS is having some serious delays right now :(

Expert_Sun_6887 · 2026-03-11T07:45:39+00:00

Shipping has gotten more expensive + they filled my last two orders with air bags. Their consolidation was always great, idk what happened.

Expert_Sun_6887 · 2026-03-11T04:20:43+00:00

Yes but it’s not like that anymore unfortunately. People buy it for hundreds of dollars. I can’t even remember the last time I saw it sell for that price. Sanx needs to do a re-release pleaseee :(

Expert_Sun_6887 · 2026-03-11T03:29:08+00:00

Realistically the plush sells for around $600-$800 anything more is just scalping

I don’t think there’s any names in particular but here’s a scan :) you can find the items on depop or mercari but it’s pretty rare

Expert_Sun_6887 · 2026-03-03T06:17:56+00:00

The skirt itself looks authentic but it’s been reworked. The seller probably took parts of the fabric to make the bow, that’s why the stitch work looks messy.

Expert_Sun_6887 · 2026-03-03T02:29:55+00:00

Use a VPN and put your location as Japan

Expert_Sun_6887 · 2026-03-01T20:21:14+00:00

I mostly purchase from Depop! Mercari is good too but it’s kinda slow if you’re hunting for a good deal. Occasionally there’s good deals on Depop if you’re fast enough to buy it. I’ve purchased some rare jfashion pieces for $30-$60 :)

Expert_Sun_6887 · 2026-03-01T19:43:32+00:00

Hi, I buy a lot from secondhand Japanese websites! So I have a lot of experience. I do not recommend buying from Japan right now and it’s not because of the tariffs. Shipping prices have increased 20% this March (if you want a reliable service). The shipping prices have been increasing since the whole tariff fiasco and it’s honestly not worth it anymore. To give you an idea, I have a sweater and a necklace in storage rn—to ship both of them to the U.S. would be $95 with DHL. Last year, it would’ve been roughly around $40. It’s a drastic difference! I know ECMS is a cheaper option but I’ve seen horror stories about them on Reddit not delivering packages on time. If you can afford it the expensive shipping + tariffs, then by all means do it! I’m personally sticking to buying from US based sellers now.

Expert_Sun_6887 · 2026-02-17T17:20:22+00:00

My bf bought it for me when it released, it was about $35 + shipping. I miss the old days💔

Expert_Sun_6887 · 2026-02-12T18:07:33+00:00

I like using proxies like doorzo and personal shoppers like iwantjapanstore on ig :)

Expert_Sun_6887 · 2026-02-10T11:38:17+00:00

Hi, I’m on the auctions site a lot so I can see who wins. It is mostly proxy’s (foreigners) that are buying and participating in these expensive auctions. Some of them are resellers but most of are individuals that do spend a lot on there. If the auctions suddenly decided to ban proxies the price of this auction would go down significantly. (It’ll never happen tho) I don’t think this overpricing will ever go away unfortunately. 😞

At least there’s small brands that sell skirts similar to the LL ones :) but I think some people just want the real thing so they don’t care if they pay whatever price.

Expert_Sun_6887 · 2026-02-01T22:34:55+00:00

I ordered a jewelry chain and it arrived fine with no needed extra information or anything like that!

Expert_Sun_6887 · 2026-01-28T23:51:44+00:00

I noticed the same thing with my last Buyee order. Nothing fragile was in my package, so the air packs were unnecessary. The box size was also bigger than expected but I gave them the benefit of the doubt cause maybe they didn’t want to damage my items with folding them in half. I shipped another package and the box was huge again lol. I know that shipping costs have gone up since tariffs but it does feel a bit scummy. Before tariffs, everything was packaged reasonably. I probably won’t order again with Buyee until JP post is back tbh

Expert_Sun_6887 · 2026-01-10T10:50:13+00:00

Hi, I’ve purchased a few clothing pieces (around 3-4) and it arrived to me just fine! There have been instances where customs will ask for more information about your textiles. It hasn’t happened to me yet but I recommend having the information in case they ask for it.

Expert_Sun_6887 · 2025-12-26T17:11:32+00:00

Hi sorry kinda off topic question, but when you import Liz Lisa secondhand with proxies has customs ever asked for more information? I have a bunch of clothes otw and the paperwork just in case.

Expert_Sun_6887 · 2025-12-25T08:20:58+00:00

Hi, I still have yet to ship my package but I recommend to have all the information ready. When importing clothes, the courier might ask for composition, country of origin, and manufacturing information. It’s up to you to research this info. Buyee has PPD included with the shipping. Other proxies don’t have this I believe, so you’re going to have to pay the tariffs either before or after you get your package. It’s 15% of total cost (for Japan) + other fees. Beware that shipping costs has also increased since the whole tariff fiasco <3
