How to Buy from Amazon Japan in Singapore

Amazon Japan (amazon.co.jp) offers a wide range of unique products, everything from limited-edition electronics and high-quality beauty items to rare collectables and region-exclusive toys. For Singaporean shoppers who love Japanese goods, it is the go-to platform for variety and value.

While Amazon Japan does offer international shipping to over 65 countries, including Singapore, there are still limitations that can get in the way. Many items, particularly those sold by third-party vendors or marked as used, may not be eligible for overseas delivery. Payment restrictions and language differences can also add to the challenge.

This is where a Shop for Me service, such as Com&Buy, becomes a game-changer. With package forwarding, you can easily buy almost any item on Amazon Japan, even those that don't ship internationally, and have it delivered directly to your doorstep in Singapore. 

It's a simple, reliable solution for accessing everything Japan has to offer without the hassle.

Why Shop from Amazon Japan?

There are many compelling reasons why online shoppers in Singapore choose to buy products from Amazon Japan:

• Access to Japan-exclusive products: From anime figurines and stationery to premium kitchenware and traditional crafts, many items are sold only within Japan.
• Competitive pricing: Japanese retail prices can often be lower than those on international platforms, sometimes even after factoring in shipping and service charges.
• Wide product selection: Amazon Japan has a much broader range of local Japanese brands, limited releases, and rare finds than Amazon US or Amazon SG.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Buy from Amazon Japan to Singapore with Com&Buy

This is how you can start buying items from Amazon Japan and have them sent to Singapore with Com&Buy:

Step 1: Visit Amazon Japan

Head to amazon.co.jp, the official Amazon Japan website. While the default language is Japanese, your browser may automatically display the site in English, depending on your location and settings. If it doesn't, you can easily translate the page using a browser tool like Google Chrome's built-in translation feature for smoother navigation.

Step 2: Find the Item You Want

Use the search bar to browse using English keywords or translated Japanese phrases. Tools like Google Translate can help with this.

Be sure to check the product details, item dimensions, user reviews, and seller ratings, especially if you're buying electronics, collectables, or clothing with size variations.

Step 3: Copy the Product URL

Once you find the item you want, copy the product URL from the address bar of your browser. This link is essential for submitting your request to Com&Buy.

Step 4: Submit to a Proxy Service

Paste the product link into the Buy for Me form on Com&Buy’s website, then fill in the required fields:

• Product name
• Quantity
• Size, colour, or other options
• Special instructions (e.g., urgency or packaging preferences)

Once submitted, Com&Buy will verify the item and give you a quotation.

Step 5: Make Payment

Once your order has been reviewed, proceed to payment using your preferred method. Com&Buy offers a variety of convenient local payment options for Singapore-based customers via HitPay, powered by Stripe. Supported methods include credit and debit cards, PayNow, ShopeePay, GrabPay, QRPH, WeChat Pay, PromptPay, TrueMoney, and LINE Pay.

International customers can also complete their payment via HitPay or opt for a direct bank transfer, ensuring a seamless checkout experience.

Step 6: Choose Shipping Options

When your item reaches our warehouse in Japan, you’ll be prompted to choose your international shipping preferences:

• Select a shipping method: Choose between air freight (faster delivery) or sea freight (more economical).
• Consolidate multiple orders: Combine several packages into one to save on shipping costs.
• Repacking: If your items are fragile or irregularly shaped, request safer packaging for better protection during transit.
• Confirm your delivery details: Ensure your Singapore address is up-to-date and accurate.

Step 7: Pay for International Shipping

Once your shipping method is selected, Com&Buy will provide a final international shipping quote. Once payment is made, your package will be dispatched from Japan to Singapore. You’ll also receive a tracking number to monitor your shipment every step of the way.

Step 8: Receive Your Parcel at Your Singapore Address
