FromJapan is the ideal partner for shopping in Japan and consolidated forwarding. The team is very professional and responsive. I’ve been using their services for many years and highly recommend them to anyone who wants to shop safely. Thank you!

I’ve purchased approximately ~300…

I’ve purchased approximately ~300 separate orders through using FROM JAPAN’s service. As someone that’s been using proxy services for over 5 years,
I’m very pleased with their services.

Quick list of things I like:

- Quick shipping consolidation timing
- Responsive and Helpful Customer Service
- Plenty of discounts and coupons available for the sites I use (mainly Mercari, and Yahoo Auctions)
- Ability to actively shipping prices while deciding what items to consolidate. As I’ll have multiple items available to ship out, this saves me money knowing what’s the max I can ship within one box at a certain size. I’ll have some excess space at times with incoming packages, but also I’d much prefer having this system instead of having to wait days for a live agent to attempt to pack up an order for me. Also, at the end of the day they’re shipping items internationally I’d rather my items arrive safely than squished together.

I don’t plan on changing what proxy service I use for the foreseeable future.

High quality proxy shipping

Extremely high quality proxy shipping service from japan that combines many japanese auction and second hand websites for those living elsewhere. I've had zero issues ever using this service for around a year with constant sales and good customer service.

Great Experience Buying from Yahoo Auctions

I've been using another Japanese proxy service for years, but this time they couldn't help me win a very rare item on Yahoo Auctions. I decided to try FromJapan instead, and I'm really glad I did. They successfully secured the item, and the whole process was smooth and hassle-free. If you're looking for rare collectibles or hard-to-find items, I can definitely recommend giving FromJapan a try.
Thank you.

Great service but shipping fees are outrageous.

As someone who has been using this service for 6 years, I have noticed international shipping prices getting extremely high. I know that with tariffs and other problems arising its natural things get more expensive, but I just paid the same exact shipping cost for two separate orders: one being a 15-item order (including posters, books, plush, etc) and the other is 1 order that contained 2 dolls (vinyl, so not fragile at all) and a small monchhichi. In what world does 2 dolls and a monkey plush cost me $160 to ship--$140 USD if I DONT include the tariff--which was the same shipping price of a 15 item order I made 3 months earlier. The egregious pricing really steers me away from wanting to use this service in the future.
HOWEVER, customer service was very friendly. Despite telling me that they try to fit it into the smallest box possible, she then went above and beyond and contacted the warehouse to see if they could fit my items in a smaller box for cheaper shipping. Unfortunately, even after all the struggle, only 10 dollars were shaved off of my expenses. I'll take what I can get though, so I am extremely grateful that this service heard my complaints and attempted to fix the problem. Despite customer service being friendly and helpful, I can't promise that I'll be buying off of this site anytime soon due to the extremely insane international shipping prices.

FJ is a great ‘middle man’ !

FJ is a great ‘middle man’ to give you access to to the Japanese/Asian market. Very reasonable fees, great shipping, excellent customer service and a good website ( could be better but they are improving all the time). So all in all, highly recommended!

FromJapan séquestre ma commande depuis…

FromJapan séquestre ma commande depuis que j'ai ouvert un litige Paypal à leur encontre pour une commande précédente. J'ai pourtant fermé les litiges en question en pensant que la communication reprendrait normalement.

Je ne sais pas ce qu'il va advenir des commandes arrivées à leur entrepôt, et qu'ils refusent de m'envoyer. Il en est de même pour les commandes déjà payées et pas encore arrivées à leur entrepôt.

Le service client me balade de mail en mail et me gronde littéralement lorsque j'ose les relancer...

Un coup "ne nous écrivez plus", "patientez quelques jours", un coup "patientez d'ici la semaine prochaine", un coup "le service dédié est parti en vacances".

Je ne sais plus quoi faire.

Je poste aussi l'avis en anglais, au cas où...

=========

FromJapan has been holding my orders ever since I opened a PayPal dispute against them over a previous order. I have since closed those disputes, believing that communication would return to normal.

I now have no idea what is going to happen to the orders that have already arrived at their warehouse, as they are refusing to ship them to me. The same applies to orders I have already paid for but which have not yet reached their warehouse.

Customer service keeps giving me the runaround from one email to the next, and they practically scold me whenever I dare to follow up.

One minute it is, “Please stop contacting us.” Then it is, “Please wait a few days.” Then, “Wait until next week.” And now I am being told that the department in charge has gone on holiday.

At this point, I honestly do not know what else to do.

Reply from One Map by FROM JAPAN

Dear Customer,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely apologize for the frustration you endured, particularly regarding the lack of clear communication and guidance from our customer support team.
You absolutely deserved a faster, more transparent explanation about the status of your account, and we are actively working to improve our internal communication so that our customers are never left in the dark like this again.

To provide a bit of context, whenever a PayPal dispute is opened, our system automatically places a temporary security hold on the account. Unfortunately, this meant your other pending shipments and paid orders were temporarily paused.
We appreciate that you proactively closed the disputes so your other orders could proceed. We are glad that our management team was able to officially confirm this and lift the restrictions on your account on July 22nd.

As our support agent recently confirmed with you via email, your held package (#23958716) is now being processed for dispatch. Regarding your missing parcel (#23841410), we are actively waiting on the results of the Japan Post investigation. Please be assured that if it is not resolved by August 10th (two months post-shipping), we will proceed with a full refund through our Product Protection Plan.

We deeply regret the stress this situation caused and appreciate your patience as we worked through it. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much smoother and more communicative experience in the future.

Sincerely,
FROM JAPAN

CS Team appreciation

I ship many packages from Japan to WW - by many I mean over 10+ per month! Here I want to show my appreciation to the One Map Customer Services Team which is best +++++ when asked to help either before Order placement, during, or after Order arrives in the warehouse in Tokyo. As a general comment - OneMap is in many ways better than Buyee with key points being 1. CS Team interaction and help, 2. Better prices for DHL and 3. Better/safer packaging for delicate items. Here Buyee is absolutely nonsensical when it comes to A. packing delicate items in soft paper bags (unless paid for overpacking that cost even more to ship) and B. CS team answers that are for different questions than the one asked ... Maybe AI is misfiring !?!

Excellent customer service!

I've been a customer for years. I appreciate the access to items, ease of use, simple fee structure, customer service, and packing and shipping. Usually items arrive just fine, but this year, one item arrived damaged, and it was a significant enough purchase for me to file my first insurance claim! I was worried because sometimes insurance filings in general can be tough. The One Map/From Japan team walked me through the process and answered my questions. While it took 6 months (!!!) to process my claim (the item arrived damaged in January 2026, and my refund was processed in July 2026), I'm grateful that it all got completed properly, and am grateful for the team's support through the whole process! I learned that you must be patient, but the team will come through for you. Thank you!

Customer support by One Map from Japan has been always responsive and communicative as well as resourceful.
I was amazed by Erika and Yuki's quick help with an issue regarding delayed shipments to warehouse. Erika & Yuki had respectively contacted sellers and got back to me immediately with definite answers to my questions. Thanks to both Erika & Yuki's great assistance with the matter! They are truly being professional, really appreciate their time ans efforts in helping me out!

I've ordered 20 items through this service so far.
I've ordered from other countries before using other intermediaries, and FromJapan is the best in every way!
I'm not usually one to write reviews.
I am writing this review after FedEx lost my package worth approximately $900 and after three weeks and useless correspondence... I only had to contact the support team and within three days the package was at my home.
Delivery is always among the most affordable. Speed: 2-3 days (Japan-US).
Product quality is excellent.
Prices are 1.5-3 times better, even taking into account commissions and fees.
This market is unique.
The service is extremely responsible.
I highly recommend it.

From Japan is one of the better proxy services. I have had maybe 40 packages shipped with them over the last year and they have been extremely accommodating. When any shipment issues have occurred, their customer service was excellent. They are also one of the few proxy services that can make instant mercari purchases while other proxy services take hours or even days.

Thank you for the help!

I've been a loyal customer since 2021, and I have always been provided with amazing service. All the goods arrive safely and as described. Never had an issue while proxy shopping here, and if I had an issue with a seller, it was resolved quickly. The customer service is patient and helpful anytime I needed it.

Thoughtful Customer Service and Constantly Improving Services

Customer service is very thoughtful, and the replies from them are so fast! I saw FROM JAPAN improving better and better when I'm using this service, it's such a satisfying experience. : ) Thank you very much for helping me obtain ancient goods (showa music bands groups or 1960s music groups) on Mercari and Yafuoku. Evebn if the seller doesn't send the goods, FROM JAPAN would help you deal with the issue. You may trust their service to buy anything on secondhand markets in Japan. 🙏🏼💖
