How to buy from Yahoo! Shopping from overseas
Yahoo! Shopping is a mall in the same mould as Rakuten, run by LINE Yahoo. Its real strength is the number of small specialist retailers on it — shops that carry a category deeply and have no presence anywhere else online.
Either service works
If you can complete the order yourself, use your free Japanese address and we will forward it. If the shop rejects your card or address, send us the link instead and we will buy it for you.

What to know before you order from Yahoo! Shopping
- Like Rakuten, each shop sets its own domestic shipping, so grouping an order within one shop saves money before consolidation.
- PayPay point campaigns can look like a large discount, but points go to the purchasing account and are not something we can pass on.
- Worth searching here when a niche item is out of stock on Rakuten — the specialist shops often still have it.
Worth knowing
Dispatch speed varies enormously between shops on this mall. A small retailer may take a week to ship domestically, which is normal rather than a problem with the order.
How it works
- Send the link or place the order. Paste the product URL into your account and we quote the total, including our commission, before anything is bought.
- We receive and check it. Your item arrives at our Osaka warehouse, where we photograph it and record its weight and dimensions. Storage is free for the first 30 days.
- Combine with anything else. Keep shopping at other stores. Everything waiting in your warehouse can go into a single parcel, so you pay international shipping once rather than once per shop.
- We pack and ship. Choose your carrier and we repack to remove wasted space, quote the exact rate, and send it with tracking.
What shipping will cost
Shipping is charged on the packed parcel, not per item, so the cost depends on where it is going and what it weighs. Real rates by weight for each destination:
