[Japan Proxy Shopping Festival] Proxy Shopping vs Self-Ordering: Which Should You Choose? Enjoy an Extra 10% Off on Selected Japan Sites

February 23, 2026

The brand-new campaign 【Japan Proxy Shopping Festival】 is now live. During the promotion period, when you use Buy&Ship’s proxy shopping service to purchase products from selected Japanese websites such as Amazon Japan, Ichiban Kuji Online, and Disney Store Japan, and enter the corresponding promo code, you can enjoy an extra 10% off and PHP 370 off the proxy shopping price. The discount applies directly to the proxy shopping service itself, allowing you to enjoy a simpler process and real savings without changing your usual shopping choices.

If you are already a Buy&Ship user, shopping on Japanese websites is probably nothing new to you. However, when placing orders yourself, you may have encountered situations such as websites accepting only local credit cards, having to fill in extensive personal information during account registration, or spending time communicating back and forth with sellers in a foreign language when issues arise. The Japan Proxy Shopping Festival is a dedicated trial offer designed to solve these real pain points.

What’s the Difference Between Proxy Shopping and Self-Ordering + Consolidation?

If you have always placed orders yourself using consolidation services, it does not mean that you “don’t know how to shop.” Rather, it means you are handling payments, data entry, and communication with sellers on your own. When deciding whether to try proxy shopping, the key factor is not the product itself, but whether you want to leave these complicated and error-prone steps to a platform.

ItemConsolidationProxy Shopping
PaymentYou must handle payment yourself and may encounter credit card failures or verification issuesPayment is handled by Buy&Ship
Shopping MethodPlace orders yourself and enter the overseas warehouse addressSimply provide the product link; all purchasing and declaration processes are handled by the platform
ProtectionIncludes basic coverage; Buy&Ship Plus can be added for 90-day free returns, shipment loss coverage up to US$52,000, and damage compensation of up to 30% of shipping fees and product value (max US$100)Protection is included in the proxy shopping service, with 7-day free returns; if a shipment is lost, compensation covers the product price and proxy service fee; product damage is compensated up to 100%
Privacy & SecurityRequires registering accounts on multiple websites, with potential risks of personal data exposureOne account allows you to shop from Japan, Korea, the US, the UK, and Canada
Issue HandlingYou must communicate with sellers yourself, which requires language skills and timeHandled entirely by the platform, with no need to worry about foreign-language communication
Fees$06% proxy shopping service fee

From the comparison above, self-ordering is suitable if you prefer full control and do not mind handling every step yourself. Proxy shopping, on the other hand, offers time savings and greater stability by taking care of payments, ordering, communication, and declarations for you. With the extra 10% off and PHP 370 off during the Japan Proxy Shopping Festival, this is an ideal opportunity to experience the difference at a controlled cost.

Why Choose Buy&Ship Proxy Shopping?

Proxy shopping is not about replacing the consolidation method you are familiar with, but about offering a more convenient option when you do not want to be slowed down by payment issues, account registration, or communication barriers. When you want to complete payment smoothly, avoid sharing personal information, or purchase official, limited-edition, or high-demand items, proxy shopping significantly lowers the barriers.

With Buy&Ship’s clear proxy shopping process and optional protection plans, you can complete cross-border purchases with greater peace of mind. Taking advantage of the extra 10% discount during the Japan Proxy Shopping Festival makes this the perfect time to try proxy shopping for the first time.
