Special 2012 campaign!

FUK users, who order through the website and mention the spring campaign in the email can order online items at 8%

____________________________________

Hi,

I am offering a proxy / buying service for Japanese items,

I can do online orders at 8% or store pickups (VISVIM, SOPH, CDG, Number (N)ine, Undercover etc) at 15%
I am also able to bid on Yahoo auctions JP.

So please find any items and send me links for quotes,
please note, a deposit will be required before i can place a bid (unless you are one of my regular customers.. Eye-wink

please send me an email with information about the item you want and I will send a quote back to you ASAP!
e.g. what shops sell the product, where it can be bought online etc.
cheers

Jake - Jakeunkutt@gmail.com

Online orders fees structure:

(item + bank transfer fee + domestic shipping + international shipping) x 8%

Example:

Visvim FBT's from yahoo auctions bought for 20,000

20000 + 200 bank transfer + 800 domestic shipping + 3400 international shipping (to USA/UK/EU etc) = 24400

24400 x 8% = 26352 Japanese yen

Visvim Sweater bought at the Vsvim F.I.L store in Tokyo for 20,000

20000 + 2200 international shipping = 22200

22200 x 15% = 25530

Anyone heard from Jake recently? Won an auction through him on Sunday, but haven't heard since - keen to get payment sorted for the item so the seller doesn't flake as it's an absolute bargain.

Me too. Won an auction on Sunday and waiting for a response, but I'm pretty sure he's busy at the moment with his photography.

He will come through so wouldnt worry about it.

I'm experiencing a hold up.

Been over 2 f***ing months since I ordered a couple of shirts through sharpservice and they keep saying they're 'waiting for japan post to give them details'. Cant figure out if they have the shirts or if they're still waiting to receive them.
Been nothing but civil to them but now they're completely ignoring my emails. Evil

Sharpservice has definitely gone down the shitter. Would avoid. Use someone like Jake Unkutt or Stylistics. At least their native tongue is English.

I know it is too far away but I will be in Tokyo from 20th to 27th March 2013. So, closer to the time if you want to give me the exact ¥ amount and tell me what you want , I am happy to pop in to the F.I.L. in Shibuya , buy it and bring it back so long as you live in London and happy to pick up the stuff.

Paid for both shirts up front. 1 social sculpture and 1 ingall. Probably about 450 quid in total. Used them loads before and never had a problem, always been responsive and friendly.
Just the ignored emails that have really pissed me off.

I had the same problem with them but I did eventually receive my item after about 10 weeks.
it's worth paying the extra with jake, service is always good.

I normally use stylistics, but I'm going to try Jake. Is he usually pretty quick with responses?
