“From Japanese books to Art to traditional textiles to everyday clothes, Buyee has helped me get the very best of things I would spend money for, at an affordable price compared to what they would be charged for here in the US, if it was even available. Shipping can be a downer but their coupon promotions are a treat. They have it all worked out, I just need to figure out how to make space for all these beautiful things.”
“The Buyee platform is stable with easy search function. The after auction services provided is comprehensive and helpful. I have purchased from Buyee before with a good experience. It is a good platform for buyers from overseas.”
“Using buyee since a couple years now. They helped me to buy a lot of things which are hard to get. The combine service isn´t the best, they put every item with originally packaging in one box. Because of this you have to pay more for shipping because of the weight of every item if you choose consolidation. Overall a great service.”
“Okay, so I have a Toyota Corolla (Allex), and I’m trying to install some fog lights so I decided to install it with the switch but the switch was so hard to find, so I opted to research some more for it and that’s where I found the Yahoo Japan Auctions and saw the switch that I really needed, it was in a very good used state, Toyota oem 84160-95D00!
So after I saw it I saw Buyee advertising, and decided to do some research about them and signed up, I then bid on this item and afterwards winning the bid, they immediately contacted me with the necessary information as to what to do next. They really do make it easier as I live in the Caribbean islands so it would be difficult for me to receive the item, it took maybe 1-2 days for the item to reach the warehouse and it reached there quite quickly, they notified me and I must say the customer service is very good (although they could have more live agents so our issues could be heard right away), but they listen and they are very understanding when it comes to their customers and I appreciate that.
oh! and in terms of fees, the fees are well worth it in my opinion if you are wondering, and I think that if you really want a reliable company that you can trust to get you your stuff promptly and with active communication, you won’t do no wrong with Buyee.”
“i've been using them for a while and it's a great service and i would have given them five stars - except I had a bad experience with their customer service. It really surprosed me because that was one of the things that really impressed me about them.. oh well nothing is perfect. Otherwise, it's been great!!”
“It is my first time using Buyee and it is honestly extremely easy. I’ve been able to buy items cheaper! The fees were kind of a surprise to me only because of how much it can total up to. However, for a service like Buyee, it’s understandable, given the service being provided!”
“I've come to rely upon Buyee when trying to purchase hard-to-find items from anime series that are not current. Being able to buy from a wide range of websites, and be able to add them with the "Add to Cart" function from the Buyee Chrome extension makes things super convenient.
I think that at times it can be hard to understand which fees will end up actually apply - they obviously give you many warnings about possible fees (domestic shipping, purchase fees, etc.), but I sometimes feel I won't really know how much something is going to cost me until I actually have already purchased it. The fees can be a tad steep - they really add up - but honestly for the service you are getting they make sense.
Would recommend.”
“Buyee has become a prime place for me to purchase those hard-to-find items direct from Japan. It can be really hard to find things from a favorite anime series unless its the current season, but being able to shop at various sites, including Yahoo Auctions, Mercari, Melonbooks, etc. makes that task much easier - especially when I use the app extension that lets me add to my cart directly from the store website.
That having been said, I think the purchasing fees are a tad steep, but honestly they are probably fair for the work being put in to purchase things. I was buying a number of small items that ended up being split across multiple places, so those fees could really add up. Also, I appreciate being able to select either "purchase all" or "cancel order" if any of the items were not available, but there is no in-between option. What happened with me is 3 of 6 items ended up being in stock (despite what the store listed), so I basically had to go ahead and pay to get the few items that were available. It's not always clear what the fees are going to be once everything is said and done.”
“I use Buyee to purchase things off of Mercari! I've always received items in great shape and very quickly.
My only complaint is when you go to consolidate a package they charge 1,000 yen for it and that does not include packing it beyond its original packaging (you have to pay even more for that). I wish it would only cost money to repackage it, not to combine and ship the items as is because it just shows up in this thin bag packaging. Other services i've used haven't charged to consolidate and they actually pack it into an actual box over a thin material sleeve to send it on. That's the only downside I can think of though!”
“Buyee is an good and reliable platform for buying items from Japan. I have bought quite a few items recently and pleased with the communication, notification and in general the way it was handled.”
“I've been buying mostly designer clothes and accessories with their service for few years now without any issues. Their app has great interface and is quite easy to use. However, I do think that their fees add up quickly making it a bit expensive. As for delivery, my last purchase was sent from their warehouse a month ago with an estimated arrival time of 6 days - I still haven't received my shipment but this could perhaps be a delay due to pandemic...”
“Made some purchases through the Buyee website, mostly rare items on Mercari, such as Anime/ Manga related goods or goods from different bands which are already sold out.
I´m using Buyee since a couple of years now and I was never disappointed.
Fees are a little bit pricely but frequently they offer coupons to exclude the service fee or %-off coupons for international shipping.
Easy and convenient to use.
I would recommend this proxy service, if you´re searching for (rare) itmes.”
