A Good Proxy

—01. Ideal for items like these...

Words

When I first heard of the term, it seemed pretty odd and I didn't think I would have to use a proxy. The more internet scouring and specific my taste got, it was only a matter of time before I needed help buying things from overseas. It's no secret, especially if you read this site, that Japan has an incredible number of exclusive and hard to find products that we'll never see here. So, after some time, I found out about Sharp Service. The cost is not prohibitive, the shipping is quick and the communication is great. I've found things for much cheaper, or that I could never get here with the help of Hide and his team, so I am happy to pass along their info as we've got a lot of emails about proxy help over the years.

Thanks, cheapest I've seen. I've used Sutocorp and Bidservice, but they charge 8 and 12 %.

So you can just say "i want these black alden's in a US 12 ...or a Nanamica jacket from THIS store" and they buy it ad charge a fee for service?

^Yup, if you can provide a link it's easiest. Especially for Yahoo Auctions.

The boots are Visvim Virgil boots in Kangaroo leather.
