How buying from Japan works on Remambo?
Including proxy-buying and order processing through one platform.


Remambo is a platform that provides access to Japanese online stores, auctions, and marketplaces.

Historically, this type of service has been referred to as "proxy-buying".
Today, the entire buying, handling, and shipping process is managed through the Remambo platform.

— What is proxy-shopping or proxy-buying?

Proxy-buying refers to a purchasing model where orders are placed through a local intermediary when a store does not offer international shipping or overseas payments.

On Remambo, this process is handled through a centralized system that manages ordering, payment, warehousing, and international shipping from Japan.

In other words, Remambo enables access to items that are not available for direct international purchase, by managing the order and shipping process through one platform.

— You want to buy anything from Japan

But buying from Japan isn't easy. You’re dealing with:

* Japanese online stores which you can't navigate.
* Sellers who will not ship overseas.
* Japan-only methods of payment.
* Japanese shops which can’t handle pre-sales inquires in English.
* You need ASAP help with auctions, limited-edition, and pre-orders items.

These limitations require a system that can handle ordering, payment, and shipping from Japan.

— How the process works on Remambo

Remambo enables purchases from Japanese stores that do not offer international shipping, by managing Japan-side operations through its platform and forwarding items internationally.
