Hi. Wondering if I could have some help and input about ordering from Base online shops that different bands set up. All of the ones that I have had experience with do not allow overseas shipping. Even using a proxy address doesn’t work because it won’t accept the types of payment I try to use (credit cards). I don’t have a lot of experience with trying to buy from these shops, but every time I’ve tried it’s a big fail. I’m in the US. Is there any way for international fans to order from these shops? Thank you so much in advance for any help/advice.
I have never had a problem with them and ordered from a few bands in the past… Never had a problem with the overseas address and i think in all cases I just used paypal so yeah, all good.
Do know u about FROMJAPAN proxy ?.. because i bought a lot things from many bands and so on and i never had a problem with.
Whenever I buy from those online shops, I use Treasure Japan. Essentially paying someone else overseas to buy the item(s) for you, having it shipped to them in Japan, and then shipping it to you in the US. Never had any issues with Treasure Japan and I’ve been using them as my proxy buying service since 2019.
Thank you for the suggestions!! I will try them.
Doesnt that cost a mint though? Ive used Mercari a few times which is the same deal but the amount of fees on top of the item cost makes it nit worthwhile half the time.
It all depends on the person buying it if it’s worthwhile. Yes, it’s costly. For CD’s I can’t get from CDJapan or Puresound or really any place that ships directly to me, it’s worth it to me.
