Right now Japan Post is not shipping to the US so people are using FedEx, UPS, DHL. Some dealers to check out would be Ishibashi, Ikebe, Kurosawa, Nico Nico, Blue Guitars. The third way is to use a proxy service and buy from Yahoo Auctions Japan (auction site). The next best way is to use a proxy service (just don's use Buyee for guitars) and buy from a Japanese dealer. You won't have to pay Japanese sales tax, they know how to fill out the customs paper work, they pack well. The best way is to buy directly from a Japanese dealer who does international shipping. Very few Japanese dealers sell on eBay and even fewer Japanese individuals sell on eBay. Just don't use eBay since most of the sellers there are 'resellers'. But, if someone is $60 more and their feedback is better/maybe they have less listings than the person who’s the cheapest, I would pay that $60 more.īuying from Japan is fine. Sometimes there’s an $800 swing so obviously forget about the more expensive ones. If it’s not easily identifiable what store it is at then, read the last 3 months of feedback for each of the resellers and choose using that information and of course via price as well. If it has a store’s watermark, try emailing the store directly to purchase it. My advice, depending on the guitar you are looking at. His feedback was excellent and the guitar arrived safe and sound. The price wasn’t much more with free shipping so I decided to do it via eBay instead of contracting one of those Japanese buying services. It was the only listing for it on eBay but, I knew he was a reseller because I found the ad for the guitar on a non English Japanese classifieds site.
