Zenmarket isn't too bad but can get very expensive to ship if you want protective packaging as an warning. I won a auction for a furby and I instructed that they simply just wrap it in bubblewrap and added some cushioning to the inside of the item box to ensure that the furby didn't shake too much in shipment. (something that I theorize messed with my other Japanese furby's tilt sensor) It ended up being around $50-60 to ship and when I came home I got this MASSIVE box that was half bubble wrap. And it wasn't the regular wrap either. We are talking the big bubbles. Not going to complain because they really ensured it was protected but I was NOT expecting that much protection. A bit of an overkill but at least it arrived safe.
Hi! I just want to say that you have inspired me to be the true version of myself. If I hadn't found you sooner, I don't think I could've made it through the quarantine. While in quarantine, I started to experience issues with my mental health anx your channel was one of the things that really kept me going and helped me forget about my problems for a while. As of right now, I am still struggling with the issues, however they have reduced thanks to your channel. I wish nothing but the best for you!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💖
You’re a literal savior. THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! Ps. I loved the little shaking noises your necklaces and bracelets made! And your hat is super cute!
ahh so informative !! ive always thought about buying off of buyee but been a lil too scared to try it out, it looks easier than i thought it might be ! 💗
A few years ago I had an assignment on thrift shopping for school and one of the things I came across was that thrift stores don't get enough good quality donations for the increased traffic that they're getting from ppl like depop resellers who buy bulk and it just breaks my heart honestly! Having said that it could've changed since then but I do think that mass buying from thrift shops is a lot worse than just selling one off pieces for some extra cash, like most depop users do
I’ve bought second hand figures from Japan but have always been too scared to buy clothing/accessories so this video was very helpful! tysm!! also for light items (like figures, bows, accessories for example) I reccomend SAL (if you are ok with waiting 2-3 weeks ofc). I’ve used SAL on almost all my purchases from Japan to the US and it works out really nicely. It’s also one of the cheapest so it works out great if you are on a budget. :)
it's no biggie!! also this comment is perfect timing because i literally just paid for combined shipping for my latest buyee order a second ago ahhhh 😅💖
I already know how to buy second hand from Japan but wanted to say this is a really good video for people that don't ! And you look so cute as always 💖💖💖
Zenmarket is a good site because as you buy, you can build credit over the year allowing you to buy on credit and save your money to just pay it off before shipping to yourself.
Super helpful! Definitely looking into buyee next time I thrift. I've gotten back into jfashion and dressing up again, and remembered the joy of having new pieces to coord with! I'm pretty split with the depop price hikes. Part of me considers the seller adding in the cost it took to ship/ shopping service. But partly it's about knowledge like you shared in the video! Recently I found a pricey item,& I looked thru yahoo & mercari trying to find it and didn't and searched the web for even 1 picture of it and couldn't. So in this case I feel like if you really love a piece -> go for it. Personally I go by "oh it didn't fit me / didn't like it -> i'll resell it & it can go to someone who would!"
i just want to say THANK YOU so much for this video! i just rewatched to refresh my memory because i just bought an item on buyee. :) i'll probably do what you did and get items over time so it can be a little haul!!!
I know that you can estimate how much shipping could be by putting in the weight of your order… but i cant figure out how much mine would weigh, I’m getting about 15 things including shirts, skirts, plushys, and memos.. how do I calculate it. The guide didn’t help me
How do I buy from buyee. Because in the app it doesn’t let me make an account. It only says to log in. Even though I don’t have an account. And in the website, it doesn’t let me make an account because I’m outside of Japan. I’m in the USA. Sooo help 😭🙏🙏 I really want to buy from buyee for cute mezzo piano with a bigger size and more affordable instead of depop 😒 PLS . I spend DAYS trying to. But it doesn’t let me 😢
what exactly do the cm measurements refer to? i'm assuming they were the bust measurements but i'm still a bit confused. and is there a place on buyee that lists the specific sizing/measurements of items? and if an item didn't list sizing specs then would you say it would still be safe to buy it?
the centimeter measurements are based on the average height the kid would be for that size, i'm assuming so 160cm would be for 160cm tall, and so on and so forth. 160cm is about 5 foot 2 inches. And since all the items on buyee are listed by individuals and not buyee itself, they don't have measurements listed so it is a case by case basis. and if sizing specs aren't listed, i would recommend not getting it just to be safe! ❤
Yup yup, Closet Child's online shop (www.closetchildonlineshop.com/) does international orders so you can buy from them directly! There's a button at the top right corner of the page that has info about it ^^
What would be your advice for people that wear large - XL in American sizes? I know I'm larger then 160 cm but I'm not exacly plus sized either. I'm like nearing the edge with general sizes. When I get things from Asain sites I always have to get xxl stuff
I would recommend the brands I mentioned around the end, which is the 7th tip, those brands utilize larger sizing so that more people are able to wear them! 💖 So brands like Punyus, ACDC RAG, etc are awesome! Also sometimes the listing will have the measurements of the item in the description which is super helpful 👍🏼
@@cybrgrl Thank you very much!!! I have a condition so I'm always scared about clothes being tight and me not being able to interact with them. 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
Brands like acdc rag(which I personally love their clothes anyway) does usually one size stuff that is usually rlly big and will fit most people I think
Love the video, I learned so much !!! One question. I already have a mercari account, would have to make a new one since I'm shopping on Japanese mercari???
Im rubbish at buying online because if I want something (really want) I will get it but I don't want to oay Iver the odds also trying to download a middle man is tricky over here in UK (unless you're a computer whizz- which I am not)
Hi so I'm sure you know who spank and fancy surprise is I want to buy from them but in general how would I buy from individual artists on instagram that are in Japan? can I use fromjapan to buy from them? And would I need an ID?
Hi there! I love spank and fancy surprise, those are some great choices! ^^ So since spank (spankshop.thebase.in/) and fancy surprise (shop.phooey.jp/) both have their own shop websites, I would recommend using fromjapan because with them you can just send fromjapan the link to the item and easily have it purchased, no ID needed. But if it is a small artist that let's just say they dont have a website, maybe they only have a twitter or a physical location, I would recommend hitting up either TenshiShop or Sunflower Seed Shopping Service because they will be able to communicate with the artist in Japanese directly and help you get exactly what you need! 💖
@@cybrgrl I was a new user I'm unsure what happened but I'll just hope things won't be too bad. I'm still trying to get used to all the stuff on there.
The website ended up emailing a coupon hours later since I was a new user, I think that explains the mix up. I thought it would show up right away. ❤💛💚💙💜
Can we also buy things on our own aside from the shops listed there and ship it to them? Like from aliexpress and temu? Theres sm cute things aside from fashion I wanna buy on these websites but they don't ship here😭😭

The biggest size for most kid brands is 165 cm
can you do a video on how to coordinate?
Personally not being able to afford cute clothes in a pandemic would be the least of my concerns.
so excited 😆
your hat ahhh
OH MY GOD UR A LIFE SAVER!!!!❤️❤️❤️
Love the video, I learned so much !!! One question. I already have a mercari account, would have to make a new one since I'm shopping on Japanese mercari???

Does the coupon you gave us ever expire?
If I’m not mistaken, nope it does not expire! 😊

I clicked your coupon link and it didn't work for me. I have to use this today I'm scared someone will get the outfit I want. Thanks!!
Oh no I’m so sorry! I think it only works if you’re a new user but I’m not entirely sure 😭💖
