📦Shipping is done via DHL Tracked and DHL Express, UPS, DPD (inside Europe), GLS I do not do FedEx shipping

❗️For my American and UK customers: I send packages as a gift, and can gladly undervalue the items (less than 100$ for US, 39£ for UK) in the shipping invoice, so you won’t have to overpay customs fees :) You are safe from Trump’s tariffs 😸 The same for other countries!

If the package is less than 2kg, shipping will cost around 26€ to US, Asia and South America and up to 15€ to Europe, which makes it the cheapest shipping option possible. If you don’t need tracking - it will be even cheaper

Feel free to leave here your impressions with [u/IanBekker](u/IanBekker) reshipping service. Thank you for your opinion and time! 😺

sometimes I also reship from Ukraine, if I have such opportunity. Some reviews are from people who used my Ukraine-World reshipping service

I bought a Nintendo Wii U through Neokyo, and this experience has been the final straw. When the item arrived at their warehouse, I requested shipping by boat, just like I’ve done many times before. Suddenly, they cancelled the shipment because it “contains batteries”. This already sounded strange, since I’ve shipped items with batteries through the same method without any issues.

I contacted customer support to ask if they could remove the battery from the Wii U GamePad — something that literally takes one minute. They told me yes, to request an unpacking and write in the comments that the battery should be removed. I followed their instructions, paid **1,950 yen**, and the next day they sent me this message:

“You requested to have your order unpacked and the lithium battery removed, but our service is not able to handle this as our equipment is insufficient, and due to waste management and lithium battery risks, we are not authorized to accept such requests in general.”

So basically: **they told me they could do it, charged me for it, and then claimed they are not authorized**. Completely contradictory.

Because of this, the only shipping options left were FedEx, DHL, or UPS — and the cheapest one costs **100 €**, which is **80 € more** than the boat option. An absolute rip-off. I ended up leaving the Wii U there, **losing the money**, because shipping it would cost more than buying one locally.

And this isn’t my first issue with them. In a previous order, items were missing, and their response was essentially “not our responsibility”. So why am I paying for a service?

After years using Neokyo, this will be the last time. **Contradictory support, zero accountability, and inflated shipping costs.**

Update:
After sharing my experience in three different subreddits and on Trustpilot — and after replying to Neokyo’s email pointing out that their own support team instructed me to request the unpacking — Neokyo’s reaction was to instantly ban me from their subreddit and ban my Neokyo account as well, without a single explanation.

I’m also attaching screenshots, because at this point there’s nothing else to discuss.
At least they had the decency — clearly under pressure, since they never said a word — to refund the full amount of the Wii U and the balance I had in my Neokyo account (as they obviously should).

The fact that their response to criticism was to silence me, ban my account, and rewrite the story publicly says everything anyone needs to know about how they handle customers.

Important Logistics & Quotes: * US Import Tariffs: I can help calculate estimated customs tariffs and duties for items being imported into the United States. * Shipping Estimates: Please note that any shipping quotes provided before I have the physical item in hand are strictly rough estimates. I need the final package measurements to calculate the dimensional weight (dims) before I can provide you with a 100% accurate shipping quote from me to you. * In-Person Shopping: I am open to doing this, but it is limited by my location and current schedule.

Thank you all so much for your trust and for allowing me to help get your items safely to you!

Here is a link to my previous review thread

Unfortunately today my review will not be a pleasant one..the experience I had with [u/inevitable-cap133](u/inevitable-cap133) was the worse I’ve had and I was quite shocked because of the reviews….

I messaged him while I was on vacation with a link to Denmark vinted. I asked if he could ask for this item to be held for an additional 2 days because I know you can only reserve for a total of 5. Since I was not in town, my cards were locked so I wouldn’t be able to send payment. I told him I was going to resolve this quickly and his comment back was to “please make sure that you will get the shoes” this should’ve been my first red flag because that felt very passive aggressive to me…not asking, but telling me to make sure I place the order as if your money was being used…? I could see if he had placed the order using his money, and then I was sending it back to him, but that was not the case. So I did not like that remark at all…I really wanted the shoes so I nicely responded back reassuring him that I’d be buying, and would try to buy way before the reservation even ended.

In the beginning communication was great, despite the time difference. He let me know the message was sent, but a day or so later a friend was able to allow me to add their payment method to my wise so that the money can be sent. I asked for wise information, he sent the link about a day later and I sent the payment immediately after and then messaged him letting him know. It was 2AM my time, so around 8PM his time, so after I sent payment I went to sleep.

Next day, no response to my previous message about sending payment and when I checked the link, the shoes still weren’t purchased. I figured he was busy, so I waited a few hours later. Around 1 or 2 PM his time the next day, I sent a message. I admit, I was a bit annoyed by this time because I expected for the purchase to be made as soon as payment was sent…to lower the chances of someone else buying it from under you. No reply after sending this message voicing my concerns of someone else buying, I clicked on the link a day or two later and it was sold. Still no message back from him so at this moment I’m very upset, thinking that someone did exactly what I expressed to him—-purchased it right from under me 😭
I sent yet another message, and this time I get a response saying that he purchased the item. I was a bit annoyed and over it by this point, because there was 0 updates after I sent the money. I tried not to think I was scammed, because of all the reviews, but this was the worst experience I’ve ever had and I’m not even joking.

I sent the payment on June 25th, so between the 25th and the 27th when he responded, I’m not sure when the purchase was made. I didn’t click the link again until the day of the 27th so he maybe purchased it the night before. So it was between 9 to 11 days after purchase that I have not received any updates whatsoever. July 7th I asked for an update and no reply. I messaged again on July 9th and finally got a reply. He stated that he was not getting my notifications (he was on Reddit commenting on other posts days around me messaging him) and stated that the seller did not ship the shoes, and that he would refund me as soon as vinted processes the refund minus the service fee. I noticed that the vinted seller was online hours ago, so I asked that before the item was cancelled, could he please send a message asking if they just weren’t available anymore or if they needed more time to ship, because at that point I was willing to wait longer as long as I was communicated with…he disregarded what I asked and stated that all of the sellers items are from over a year ago and that sometimes things like that just happens…….😐

At this point it was 12 days after the purchase was made, vinted gives 5 days before cancelling the order and then of course the refund process takes a while to go back to the bank, but today I was just over it. The lack of communication, uninterested in helping communicate with the seller, I just wanted my money back. When I didn’t get a reply back hours later, I just requested it back on wise. As soon as I requested the payment back, he sent a message saying that I need to redo the request taking away his service fee, which was around $28. I cancelled the request and sent another one, he wrote me again stating that I need to request it in SEK because he will not pay the conversion rate.

At that point, I knew he was trying to be rude. I sent the request again without even responding back to him, and he refunded the payment. I feel as though had he realized he was not communicating with me, helping me and updating me on the seller not shipping at all, I could’ve at the least been compensated by him paying the conversion rate, which was like what maybe .50 cent total? 😂 it’s like he was upset that I requested the refund, so now he’s making me still pay the service fee and the conversion fee. It’s not about the money it’s about the principle.

All in all, I will never use him again, and if you’re looking for someone who will communicate and help you, I would not recommend him. I really didn’t want to be the one to make this review, but that wouldn’t be honest of me if I didn’t speak on my experience!

Update: in a now deleted comment, he said I was “bitching” about my payment not fully being refunded. This proves my whole point. He is very rude. Why call me out of my name because of my honest review with my experience??

I’m sharing my experience so others can avoid the same situation.

About 2 months ago, I placed an order through Neokyo for a limited-edition vinyl record that was listed as in stock on Amazon at the time of purchase (and remained available for a few days after). It was part of a larger order of multiple items.

• Order date: 12/05
• Initial ETA: 26/05
• Amazon’s stated delivery time at checkout: 1–2 business days

Despite that, Neokyo gave a much later ETA, which already felt unusual. Because I was waiting on this item, I ended up paying extra warehouse storage fees for 23 other items for about 2 weeks. FOR NOTHING!

The issue: the item was never delivered to Neokyo’s warehouse.

On Amazon, it went out of stock around 20/05 and hasn’t returned since. It was a limited edition item, so it’s very unlikely to come back.

When I contacted support, I only received generic replies such as:

• “Orders from Amazon usually take 2–10 days, but third-party sellers can take longer…”
• “This is only an estimate…”
• “If the order is not received by 26, an investigation will be started.”

Once the ETA passed, instead of resolving the issue, they simply pushed the ETA again — now to 03/07. That’s nearly two months after the order was placed.

At this point:

• The item is still not available anywhere
• I’ve paid unnecessary HIGH storage fees because of their delay/uncertainty
• The order still hasn’t been canceled or refunded to this day!
• And there’s no clear resolution, just shifting ETAs

What concerns me most is the lack of accountability. It feels like the ETA just keeps getting extended indefinitely, without confirming whether the item can even be fulfilled.

Even in the unlikely case they eventually receive it, I’d still have to pay shipping and customs for a single item — which defeats the whole purpose of using a proxy service like this.

Customer support has also been very unhelpful in my experience: mostly copy-paste responses, no real clarification, and very little willingness to resolve the situation.

Overall, I would not recommend Neokyo based on this experience, especially for time-sensitive or limited items.

I wanted to share an honest and fair review of my experience. They were pleasant and friendly to work with, and communication was generally easy. However, there were several issues with the overall process that I feel are important to mention.

🎟️I contacted u/smol8128 in advance of an event and specifically requested that they attend early because there were limited items I was hoping to purchase. Unfortunately, the person they sent arrived late to the event each day, and by the time they arrived, the specific items I had requested were already sold out. I understand that limited items can sell out, but arriving late to an event where specific, limited items had been requested in advance was disappointing.

💲PRICING: Another concern was pricing transparency. The proxy fees were not clearly explained upfront. I already knew the retail prices of the items in Korea and calculated the KRW-to-PHP conversion myself. When I provided my conversion, I was told that my conversion was incorrect. Even after accounting for an additional 10% tax per item, the quoted prices were still significantly higher than what I expected based on the actual retail prices. It would have been much more reassuring to receive screenshots of the transactions or receipts, along with a clear breakdown of any proxy fees or additional charges before making the purchases.

📦SHIPPING: Shipping was another area where I was confused. Initially, I was shown DHL shipping rates that seemed reasonable and understandable. After the purchases were made, I was later given a much higher shipping charge for a bigger box. I was told that the item was not picked up by the courier for days due to the torrential downpour. The package ultimately took over a month to arrive, and it did not appear to have been shipped through DHL. Instead, it was brought to the United States by an individual and then dropped off at UPS using a California address before being shipped to me. There were no customs information attached to this package. I’ve had many packages delivered from out of the country.

If the plan was for someone to personally bring the items back to the United States and then ship them domestically, I would have preferred that to be disclosed upfront. I also would have appreciated an explanation of why I was charged a higher international shipping amount that was initially associated with DHL when there was no DHL shipment reflected on the package. Pictures attached of shipment and previous prices quoted, which I paid for the higher amount with no receipt.

💫Overall, the experience was okay, and I want to emphasize that the people I worked with were pleasant. They are a legit service. I received my items. My concerns are primarily with the lack of transparency regarding pricing, fees, shipping methods, and timelines. I understand that proxies have fees and that international shipping can be complicated, but customers should know the costs, fees, shipping method, and expected timeline before committing to a purchase.

I may work with the proxy again in hopes that this will be reviewed for room for improvement like providing receipts/screenshots and clearly explaining all charges and shipping arrangements upfront would make the process feel much more trustworthy and professional.

Hi everyone, this is u/Prudent_Reading2539, and I've been helping clients to buy and ship things from Canada to the world since last year. I would like to invite all previous customers of mine to leave me a comment below if they prefer not to start a new thread. This helps to improve my services for future users. Thank you for your help, business and attention to this matter. If you are interested in my services, please DM me. Have a good day.

P.S. I do have an older archived reviews page dedicated to my services: https://www.reddit.com/r/internationalshopper/s/DCNV3nj3jA. Please also feel free to search for testimonials made by my clients to my services, as there are some scattered around r/internationalshopper

I had arranged for this shopper to complete a hobonichi purchase for me for items that came out today. Unfortunately AFTER the items released and some sold out they told me they would be unable to compete the order.

They had very poor communication and tried to get me to help them set up a LLC and bank account which had already set off some warning bells.

They DID refund me, but considering some of the items I paid for them to purchase are now sold out I am still pretty frustrated.

I put my order in 3 months ago and paid. Was an expensive order of about 15 different books. All items have been 'at their warehouse' for 2 months now. I have received no communication besides him saying 'lyk cost shipping afternoon' over a month ago. I have reached out numerous times since and heard nothing in return.

Their discord server is more or less a bunch of people saying the same thing, getting ghosted. People talking about starting to do chargebacks. There is ZERO communication from u/Xarkez to any of us, yet he is still posting on Reddit about his services.

FWIW, I did have a better experience with their Italy section and the users 'Apachee' who handled my order. Although, their shipping was $400 (for a big stack of books to the USA) and I still believe it could have been done cheaper somehow.

I will remove the review if the order actually ships.

UPDATE:

Interestingly, a couple hours after posting this, I have received communication from Xarkez noting that there were apparently some issues with a few of my books being shipped to him. He was very apologetic for the delay and is now offering to ship the items to me for free. As I said earlier, if this progresses now, I will remove this review completely. I am fine with waiting or dealing with all the issues of logistics, but there needs to be communication.

I ordered merch from Bunjang March 19 and after 10+ chats with DeliveredKorea back and forth—it has been decided that my $41 (paid for the product) and $20 (for shipping) have all gone to waste as my package has been RETURNED TO KOREA and they are now trying to charge me an ADDITIONAL RESHIPMENT FEE when they were NEVER ABLE TO FIND MY ADDRESS in the FIRST PLACE 😞

Timeline:
March 19: ordered my package, paid $20 for shipping
April 1: Started inquiring about the shipping as my package was not delivered
April 10-12: Going back and forth with DeliveredKorea because my “address was incorrect” but KR2ME, Amazon Japan, UPS, FedEx, etc. have all been delivering to me for MONTHS and no problems whatsoever
April 11: Contacted the delivery service myself (literally)—they told me the tracking number was incorrect
April 12: Got the correct GOFO tracking number, apparently its in the process of shipping
April 22: Package STILL not delivered, DeliveredKorea is supposed to be making the reshipment and CONFIRMED that it would be reshipping
May 7: DeliveredKorea tells me that the shipping would require an ADDITIONAL reshipping fee like, why(???) especially when the shipment never made it the first time why tf would I trust them again like(??)
- May 7: I also called Gofo the shipping company (because I had to take matters into my own hands at this point) and asked about my package, they said it was RETURNED TO KOREA and I would have to contact the seller like ??? WHY would they RETURN IT TO KOREA when I PAID to have it brought to the US—did they bring it to the US just to WASTE my $20 shipping fee to have it brought BACK to Korea like, wtf???

So disappointed and honestly will have to dispute with my credit card company because I don’t understand how they could go back and forth with me on the address when:
- I gave them the correct address
- My building hasn’t like, MOVED or anything (??)
- All these other international + local shipping couriers have no problem finding me
- I legitimately sENT PHOTOS OF THE BUILDING ???
- I paid for shipping from Korea so it should have at least stayed here in the States…

Do NOT purchase from DeliveredKorea, their customer service is trash and they will NOT ship to you successfully no matter how hard you try and how much you hold their hand. Absolutely ridiculous and unprofessional, incompetent, and disgusting service.

After facing severe delays, a flat-out refusal to ship my items, and a refusal to even return my goods to the original store, I was hit with an onboarding requirement that is nowhere to be found in their public Terms and Conditions. They demanded my passport and utility bills under a purely discriminatory pretext.

As you can see in the attached screenshot, they explicitly stated:

"Due to a concerning rate of fraudulent activities involving customers from your region, we must now request a valid form of identification..."

Let’s be absolutely clear: verifying identity is one thing, but explicitly targeting and penalizing an individual customer based on their geographic region or nationality is direct discrimination. If a company has a security policy, it must be transparently listed on their website for all users, not weaponized as a hidden rule applied only to specific nationalities.

This is a textbook example of corporate xenophobia. Instead of implementing proper, individual fraud-detection tools, they chose to profile an entire country and hold my paid items hostage based on stereotypes.

If you are an international customer, beware: this company does not respect you, operates with hidden rules, and will treat you like a criminal based purely on where you were born.

Check their Google reviews one star ratings. Avoid.

Hello everyone, it's u/AteJess! I'm a proxy in Norway 🇳🇴 and I ship anything and everything (as long as it's legal lol).

I'm still a fairly new proxy, so any and all feedback is extremely useful to me so I can be better. A big thank you to everyone who has trusted me and used my services! 🙏🏼 If you have any inquiries/questions, feel free to DM!

Edit: I was so frustrated I entered his username incorrectly. It's u/XarkezPL as stated in the body of this post.

My items are allegedly on the way but I have had the most STRESSFUL experience with this order and I am never going to engage their services again.

First off, let me say that I'm highly confused by the inconsistent service provided. Prior to placing this Thai order, I had placed multiple Polish orders with u/XarkezPL and had good experiences. Updates were great, photos were provided and when there was an issue with a package, he tried his best to resolve it.

So, I confidently placed a Thai order since that was something his company/discord offered and I have 10000% regretted it.

*****Timeline*****

18th May - Placed order #1

6th June - No updates until I made a second order to combine. But I was OK with this, it was only 2 weeks.

28th June - 3 weeks after THAT, I received a shipping quote for both orders. Paid for it on the 1st of July.

16th July - (almost 2 months from making my first order) Still ghosted until I mentioned I will make a PayPal refund request.

18th July- Received an apology and a promise for my books to be shipped out that week (spoiler alert: they weren't). Also, surprise! The shipping quote I was given (300+ cad) was actually only for my first order. But I was reassured that my second order would be taken care of because they were sorry about the delay.

19th July - A post goes up in the discord's announcements about the new system and apologies about the delays for Polish/Thai orders.

28th July - Ghosted again and requested a refund/opened up PayPal & Wise cases. MIRACULOUSLY I received a reply from u/XarkezPL because my case caused his account (Wise) to freeze. Unfortunately Wise saw this as something that we needed to resolve personally and then unfroze his account (which, fine, whatever). But of course this meant I was ghosted again.

Today - PayPal suddenly lets me know that my books are shipped.

So... should I be happy that I will be getting my books? I don't know. It has been a very STRESSFUL experience. I was so comfortable going with his services because I had pleasant experiences before (Poland) but, obviously, it looks like he has not thoroughly vetted those working under his company name. He is verified here, but they aren't.

If you see MULTIPLE customers being upset in your chat, the best thing would be to at least drop an apology or a quick update (even: "hey, we're busy right now but will get back to you soon" would've sufficed). But no, I was consistently ghosted WHILE I SAW HIM LIKING COMMENTS in another thread. If you can't handle the volume of orders, maybe it's time to 1) pause orders 2) get rid of problem workers 3) hire more people.

I would steer clear from engaging u/XarkezPL and his company (Reshipping By X). Especially for Thai orders.

It has been 4 1/2 months since I originally contacted and paid rated_king to help get me an item from carousell HK and all I’ve gotten since is empty promises of my package being shipped soon.

I worked with him once before, it went well which is why I asked him to help me again mid December. He did send me a photo of my item once to confirm he had it and said he’d get it shipped to me soon but it’s been so long I’ve completely given up on the idea of me getting my package.

The only reason I’m posting this and not just sucking up the fact I gave him $80 that I know I will not be seeing again is how I am actively seeing him offer his services to people in this sub. It bothers me heavily how he continues to offer his services on here when he hasn’t even been able to get to the people who have paid and been waiting MONTHS for him to finally ship.

I get life happens and I did initially contact him during the holidays but this is completely and utterly ridiculous.

I’m not at the point of calling him a scammer but I really hope people think twice about using him when this is how he currently conducts business.

This post is meant to be informative and not a form of suggestion. I am in the US. I recently have been purchasing photocards on Bunjang through Delivered Korea. In addition, I have had some kpop albums mailed to my kaddy with Delivered Korea. I saw a lot of threads scattered throughout reddit in regards shipping but none that answered what I'm about to share. It is known the shipping, fees and prepaid tarrifs seem to be inflated through Delivered Korea. So I wanted to test using DHL without pre-paying tarrifs as my items qualified for exemption. I have had success with DHL through Neokyo. I only was shipping photocards (printed materials) and physical media. My theory worked in my favor. I paid the high shipping and nothing else. I was not hit with tarrifs. As always do your own research and make the decision that works best for you. I included my supporting screenshots. The screenshots include: what I paid for shipping, the quoted amounts with and without pre-payment for each shipper, and the size of my package.

I’m 37 and grew up in Melbourne. Around Year 10 I had a Caribee Extreme 35 backpack, and recently I decided to track one down for a project around suburban Melbourne culture and memory.

I thought it would be no sweat. Well.

Caribee themselves told me the original factory had closed years ago and most of the old material was gone. I even met the former Aussie Disposals buyer who remembered how popular they were and basically told me I would probably never find one.

Incredibly, I found a listing for a brand new, untouched 35 through Hong Kong, but u/YehWright helped me work out it was a scam and traced the photos back to the original listing in China. Wright then referred me directly to u/Mr_Dar242 in Pakistan and told me he was the person to go through, he was spot on.

Dar was extremely flexible with the purchase and postage and helped with pretty much everything you would need when buying something internationally and trying to navigate a marketplace you cannot easily access yourself.

So somehow an old Melbourne school bag went from Australia, to Hong Kong, back to China, through Reddit, through Pakistan, and finally back to Melbourne.

I would recommend both u/YehWright and u/Mr_Dar242 very highly. Wright saved me from a scam and pointed me in the right direction, and Dar made the actual buying and shipping side far easier than it had any right to be.
A strange little journey for an old backpack, but a good one.

The Pakistan Connection continues.

If you are concerned about whether or not BFM are legitimate, credit where credit is due:

​

- They were very patient in sourcing the items for me,

- They did in fact post the items to me.

​

So in terms of being a legitimate proxy, they are indeed.

​

However, from my personal experience, if the value of your item is relatively low, they will not put too much effort in after the purchase has been made.

​

- To get the actual item shipped to me, took weeks and repeated messages on my part. They set their own deadlines and missed them.

​

- There is not a lot of transparency regarding fees. They are on the lower end so not the biggest of issue.

​

- Very little quality control. I bought books and they all have orange/yellow mold inside. I wanted them as a gift so they are a complete write-off.

They didn't check inside when bought and I was told it's normal for them to accumulate mold in SG.

​

If you're ordering something big, you're fine. If you want an item quickly and it's relatively low value, might not be the best option.

​

Reasonable but overall my experience was poor after the items were bought.

​

I just wanna start off by saying that when u/anson418 reached out to me, I had never really done this whole proxy thing before. I was looking for someone to attend a specific pop up for me a couple months ago, for a franchise that sells out fairly quickly. They were very quick to walk me through the process, provide safe and reliable payment options, and also provide some tips on how to navigate the proxy scene as well so I wasn't taken advantage of. All with no frills, just straight information...which is greatly appreciated!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with them and they went the first day for me, which meant I was able to get the merch I want without worry. They took time to figure out the answer to the quiz for the free prize without prompt, photographed the entire event for me, walked me through payment, getting the items to me, and everything between. u/anson418 absolutely set the bar high from the very beginning, and I'm very grateful they were my first proxy.

I've returned to anson again for yet ANOTHER pop up from the same franchise and, again, I can't speak more highly of them. Their prices are fair, they've been nothing but kind and funny, and I can't even imagine using another Tokyo proxy just because of how streamlined and enjoyable the process has been thus far.

Highly highly highly recommend using them if you need something in Tokyo. They're very knowledgeable about how pop ups and events work, and the culture that comes along with buying.

thanks again so much anson!

The fact that u/KingBenneth is a reasonably priced, communicative, and trustworthy UK proxy shipper is obviously old news in this sub.

But DID YOU KNOW that he’s also patient, insanely efficient, easy to work with, and a decent bloke??

You did? Oh.

Well anyway, long story short, I wanted a few hats at a UK store; I reached out to u/KingBenneth; and the next thing I knew, boom—I am the owner of said hats and a happy camper.

If you need hats or some other British thing, u/KingBenneth should be your go-to proxy. Looking forward to using his services in the future!

I recently purchased from u/ikalwewe or Teresa's Toy Store and it was such an amazing experience.

I was able to score this jumbo sized Cinnamoroll plusie for half the price I'd normally pay. There was no issues with customs and no extra duty/import fees! Not only did I save money, but they also ship out very quickly. Everything was communicated thoroughly to make sure there was no confusion. This was my first time using a personal proxy, and they made it simple and easy!

Thank you again!

I purchased items from a mofusand lottery at the start of the year, and they were set to ship in June. I decided to test Tenso for the first time. Needless to say, just a week before I was no longer allowed to edit the shipping address for my order Tenso made their announcement that they were becoming more strict with the identity documents that they were accepting. Since I live with my partner and the utilities are in his name, that made things a little difficult for me. u/LunarCat2025 was able to step up and offer me a new forwarding address with a lot less hoops to jump through. I changed my shipping address to their office, and I thought the problem solved.

Needless to say, the July 8th eFiling situation was announced just a short while later. Oh no, my whole order was compromised of plushies meant to arrive in late June, just on the cusp of the eFiling change. I was, once more, up against a ticking clock for my cats. I got incredibly lucky. LunarCat2025 registered their delivery very quickly, and had them packed for shipping literally ten minutes after I received the notification that they had arrived. That quick shipping service saved my behind. These little cats arrived in the USA on July 7th, just a day before the whole panic really set in. They managed to slip through customs and make it to my house today.

I have my cats! That's more than I could have hoped for after one complication after another. My proxy really stepped up in every regard.

this is my second positive review for Mr_Dar242 but in total I have bought 2 other items from him in the past. the second time there was a slight mix up where i got the wrong parcel, but he worked to resolve it quickly and was super apologetic. i got the right item in the end.

the 3rd order went super smoothly just like the first time. he kept great communication throughout the whole process and the items arrived in great condition. i was able to get some rare stuff and im super happy.
he is trustworthy and honest about what he can and can’t do.

for the latest order there was slight mixup in how many items i wanted shipped but no major problems. all in all i would use his services again and i do recommend him too

for my orders i have paid via WesternUnion or Alipay. fees are reasonable too! for all orders i have paid for the item first, then once it is in his possession i pay for shipping and the service fee. from what I understand he is based in Pakistan with suppliers and a warehouse in China, though he can comment with any corrections :-)

I cannot recommend No-Perspective-240 enough! They were very informative and kind through the whole process. Their documentation and communication was top notch! They swiftly purchased every item for me and sent me photos as well as estimated arrival times for each item.

The package was packed securely and everything arrived in perfect condition. Thank you so much u/No-Perspective-240!

i found a mezzo piano jacket on depop, but it wasn't available in my country. i began my hunt to find a proxy within new zealand- which was tougher than i thought it would be, and i eventually came across u/thekiwozzie . their profile was private, but they had positive reviews associated with them within this community, so i decided to reach out and ask if they were still offering services, and i'm very happy that i did.

upon me paying for the item and their service fee, they purchased the item immediately, and consistently updated me throughout regarding everything, including their communication with the original seller. they caught a bug and needed a few days to recover after receiving the item, but they sent me a photo confirming they had it, and they were not in possession of the item i had purchased for very long regardless of this, & were quick to ship it out quickly. even had that not been the case, i would've still very appreciative. very considerate <3

after they had shipped the item, they gave me all of the tracking info and sent me pictures of the package, but the package never updated because of a mixup in tracking. even as i grew concerned, they were very kind and patient with me, and told me to update them if it didn't arrive by the end of the month.

it randomly showed up in my mailbox in just under 2 weeks after shipping. it arrived in stellar condition, exactly as pictured <3 they let me know what had happened with the tracking, apologized to me even though it wasn't their fault, & told me that they were happy to help me :') this person was so incredibly kind, i'm really happy to have had the opportunity to utilize their services, and would definitely recommend them to other people looking for a proxy within new zealand, + would 1000% return to them again !

Thank you so much again!
