Comments on Otsukai - Easy Proxy Buying fr for Android
★★★★★
I really love Otsukai and I think this app is great to keep track on your orders without having to log in on the website all the time. However, I think it would be even better if the app had a search option to look for specific items, because for now it only is possible to look into whole categories which makes it difficult to find the items you like.
★★★★★
Very useful I found what I wanted to get, good prices, didn't take so long to arrive. Nice service... Only issue postal service is not that good in my country that's why 4 starts, I thought the app\providers took so long...
★★★★★
I just started using the mobile version recently, and I think there are a lot of improvements need to be made. One of which that I'd really like is the ability to "favorite" and/or "add items to wish list". There are a lot of good items offered that I can't afford to buy just yet, so I want to hold on them first, and then buy/request them when the circumstances allow. But often times I just ended up forgetting about them, so I think the feature(s) I mentioned above would be a good addition.
★★☆☆☆
I tried to log in but I can't, I'm sure %100 there's nothing wrong but I changed the password and still not logged in
★★☆☆☆
I would buy stuff from people who sell limited items in Japan and tbh pricing is expensive. I wanted to find something cheaper where they didn't increase the cost of the item or where shipping wasn't as expensive, but this was NOT it. A cheap keychain would be like $30 sometimes. You can't search for items, only request. I think I rather stick to Ebay or the sellers I buy from on Instagram @raquels_creations @geluk0193 @iwantjapanstore & @ballpensandetc.
★★☆☆☆
Can't sign up, the part where I put my country in is really messy and can't see at all

We especially recommend this service if you:
- Are a lover of Japanese anime, manga or pop culture

- Hope to get hold of items only available at events in Japan
- Are on the hunt for a particular item, but not sure where to start looking
—— FAQ
“How do I use Otsukai?”
1) Make a request for the Japanese item you are looking for
2) Wait for JP users to search for the item and make you an offer
3) Accept and pay for the offer you like best. Otsukai will safely hold onto your money.
4) Wait for the Friend to get hold of the item and ship it to you
5) Let us know when you receive the item, and we pass the money on to the JP user
“What makes Otsukai different to other proxy-buying services?”
Otsukai is more than just a proxy-buying service. We act as an in-between for you and regular Japanese otaku who can search for the item on your behalf. Some of the things that make us different are:
~ You can ask JP users to hunt for a rare item you haven’t found listed online yet
~ You don’t need to be specific (For example, you can request ‘Badges and keyrings of X from Y’)
~ Request items from Japanese events
~ If the item you want is unavailable, you may get offers with similar items that you didn’t even think of! This is quite popular with our users!
“Does Otsukai charge me? Will I be hit with hidden charges?”
Signing up and making requests is absolutely free. You will never be charged if you don’t purchase an item, no matter how many requests you make.
Otsukai runs on a 10% service charge, which is already included in the offer price. All charges, such as shipping, PayPal charges and our service charge are all calculated at the time that the Friend makes the offer. That means that THE PRICE YOU ARE OFFERED IS THE PRICE YOU WILL PAY. You will never be hit with extra charges from Otsukai.
[Please note that any customs charges are entirely the buyer’s responsibility]
“Is Otsukai safe? Is it not a target place for scammers?”
Otsukai exists for the safety of both you and the JP users. Once you pay for your item, Otsukai will keep the money safe until you have safely received your goodies. We only pass the JP user’s remittance onto them once you have let us know that your item has safely arrived. We will step in right away if we feel there is scamming involved, and we regularly monitor both the requests and offers being made on Otsukai.
