Hello everyone! We created this guide to help answer common questions about buying Pokémon Plakoro from Japan. The guide is divided into two sections:

• Direct Purchases
• Purchases Through Forwarding Services

Direct Purchases

This section covers websites that offer international shipping. Before placing an order, make sure you understand your country's customs regulations, import taxes, and any applicable duties.

Don't be discouraged if an item is out of stock. Most retailers restock their products periodically, so it's worth checking back regularly. To avoid missing new stock, we highly recommend enabling each store's email restock notifications whenever they are available.

Purchases Through Forwarding Services

This section contains websites that only sell within Japan and do not offer international shipping. To purchase from these stores, it is recommended to use a proxy shopping service such as Japan Rabbit or ZenMarket, or a package forwarding service like Blackship, which receives your purchases in Japan and forwards them to your country. A guide to using Blackship can be found at the end of this document.

How to Use Blackship

Blackship is a Japanese package forwarding service that gives you a personal shipping address in Japan. After creating an account, you'll receive a unique Japanese address to use when shopping at Japanese online stores. Once your purchases arrive at the Blackship warehouse, you'll be notified and can manage them through your dashboard.

You can hold packages for up to 45 days at no additional storage cost, allowing you to combine multiple orders into a single shipment. Consolidating packages helps reduce international shipping costs. Blackship also offers free repacking for standard shipments to optimize package size and protect your items during transit.

When you're ready, select your preferred shipping carrier (such as EMS, DHL, or FedEx), complete the customs declaration, pay the shipping fee, and Blackship will send your package to your international address.

Well everyone, that's the end of this buying guide!

I didn't include second-hand marketplaces such as Mercari, since there's no guarantee that the products haven't been opened or tampered with before being resold.

If you know of any other reliable websites, feel free to share them so we can keep expanding this guide.

Thanks for reading, and I hope everyone is able to get their own Plakoro!
