Help from Japan member?

Post by fernieite »

Hi guys,
There's a pedal on the JP Yahoo auction website that I'd like to buy, but I can't read Japanese or figure out how to navigate around the site.
Is there anyone here fluent in Japanese that can buy this thing for me? Of course, I'd paypal you the funds in advance. PM if you do. :tu:
Thanks a lot,
Sean.

They buy it for you, have it shipped to their warehouse in Tokyo, then repack it and send it on to you. Two charges, first for the item itself, then a shipping charge, but they are not overly expensive. Really good service, very responsive, choice of shipping options, all of them good.

Click on the "First Time Users" and "Q&A" links at the top of the page. And search for your item from their site. They cover Yahoo Japan so you should see it there:-)

Yes, the proxy services are reliable. I helped a few forum members back when I was living in Yokohama and it went well too. The Yahoo proxy service is called, Buyee
