Buyee. Used it once already and worked fine. Only issue was the packaging was definitely poorer in effort than Zenmarket and you can't mark down parcel values. However you can mark the parcel as a gift so I haven't been stung on customs thus far.
Buyee is the proxy service I use all the time. The deals you can get on Mercari outweigh the slightly higher service fees and inability to mark down package values for customs. They do offer additional protective packaging for a fee if that's an issue for you.

Is Buyee the only ones that can buy from Mercari? How about From Japan? Any other?

There may be others but buyee has the biggest presence. They also do have good offers on for introductory purchases. I got free delivery on my first order so managed to save £20 on Fedex.

That's nice, but unfortunately the inabillity to mark down stuff kills it for me...

As I say, marking as a gift may work. I got some Lama sandals that were £120 and they were marked as a gift. No fees.

I have a stamped Jumbo hoodie coming tomorrow so will let you know what happens.

Unless you find an individual who will do it for you, it's your only option really I'm afraid.

I would still love to try on size 4 if I could, that would work well for winter layering.

Hey guys - new here but been following this thread for years. Hoping I could get a legit check on these Virgils and start getting involved.

Looks like 2015 KNGRs....looks good to me except the inner tongue label.....I've only seen it with the hand painted hat symbol for 2015 models, and head dress on the outside. This one has a V print on the inside (in a mushroom or arrowhead?).

Anyone know/seen this before? Seller doesn't have box/tags/bag. Virgil 4.jpeg Virgil 2.jpeg Virgil 1.jpeg Virgil 3.jpeg Virgil 7.jpeg

I'm going to say real. that's definitely kangaroo, toe welting is also correct. V spade tongue label is correct.
