Online Shopping
🖥️ Secret Alice · Japan Online Personal Shopper
Buy from any Japanese online store — even if they don't accept international cards or ship internationally.
📦 1. What is Online Proxy Shopping?
Many Japanese online shops only accept domestic credit cards (issued in Japan) or require a Japanese billing address. Others block foreign IP addresses or don't ship internationally. Secret Alice solves this: we act as your Japanese proxy buyer.
You give us the product link, we purchase it on your behalf and then we forward it to your home address worldwide.
✅ Access thousands of Japan-only web shops: Rakuten, Amazon Japan, plus niche brand stores.
✅ We handle domestic shipping, consolidation, and repacking.
✨ Why choose Secret Alice for online proxy?
✔️ We can buy from stores that block foreign IP addresses
✔️ Support for convenience store payment (konbini) and Japanese bank transfers — often required by smaller shops.
✔️ Pre-order assistance: we never miss deadlines. We pay immediately after deposit.
✔️ Clear communication in English & Japanese, with real order confirmations.
🛒 2. Which Japanese online shops can we buy from?
Virtually any Japanese e-commerce site! If it's a legitimate online store based in Japan, we can place an order for you. Check out the list of brand we usually help purchase from.
➕ Even stores that require Japanese phone verification or local address — we've got you covered. We cannot purchase age-restricted items without verification, or items that violate export laws (e.g., certain chemicals).
💡 Tip: If you find a product on a store that looks suspicious or too niche, just send us the link and we'll check if we can buy it.
💰 3. Online shopping service fee
Our service fee for online shopping is slight different from in-store shopping. Check out our service fee and example calculation below:
⭐ Service fee: 500 JPY or 10% of item price — whichever is higher.
✅ Example A: You buy a 2,000 JPY earring. 10% of 2,000 = 200 JPY → but since 500 JPY is higher, you pay 500 JPY service fee.
✅ Example B: You buy a 15,000 JPY item. 10% of 15,000 = 1,500 JPY → this is higher than 500 JPY, so service fee = 1,500 JPY.
➕ Additional costs you must cover:
- Domestic shipping fee (from online shop to our Japan address). Many shops offer free domestic shipping over a certain amount, but if not, we pass the exact cost to you.
- International shipping (from our warehouse to your door). Options: EMS, Airmail, Surface. Calculated after packing.
- PayPal fee: 6% charged by PayPal for receiving payment
📦 Total example: You buy a 6,000 JPY jacket. Domestic shipping 600 JPY. Service fee (10% of 6,000 = 600 JPY → higher than 500 JPY) = 600 JPY. Then international shipping 2,300 JPY. Total additional = product 6,000 + domestic 600 + proxy fee 600 + international 2,300 + Paypal fee 6% = 10,070 JPY. All transparent.
✅ No hidden markups. We provide screenshots of order confirmation, domestic shipping receipt, and packing photos.
