Buy&Ship Japan Forwarding Service: Bringing Japan’s Best to Singapore

Why Choose Japan Forwarding?

Japan is one of the most popular shopping destinations for Singapore consumers — from skincare and cosmetics to fashion, anime merchandise, electronics, and home appliances. Yet, many Japanese e-commerce platforms either do not ship internationally or charge high fees with complicated restrictions.

With Buy&Ship Japan Forwarding Service, you can shop freely from Japanese online stores and have your items shipped directly to Singapore at transparent rates starting from S$7/lb, supported by reliable delivery and flexible consolidation options.

Buy&Ship Japan Proxy Shopping Service

Some Japanese websites require local payment methods, Japanese phone numbers, or are available only in Japanese. Buy&Ship’s proxy shopping service makes it easy: we place the order on your behalf, handle payment, and forward it to your Singapore address.

Proxy Shopping in 3 Simple Steps

1. Submit the product link and details.
2. Our team purchases the item and delivers it to the Japan warehouse.
3. Follow the standard forwarding process to ship it to Singapore.

Forwarding vs Proxy Shopping — Which to Choose?

• Forwarding – Best if you can shop directly and pay online with your own credit card.
• Proxy Shopping – Ideal when payment, language, or address barriers make it difficult to order yourself.
