Hello all, was wondering how those who purchase / preorder items from Japan go about doing it normally and what are everyone's preferred proxy / package forwarding services (if any). 
As for me, I used to use Zenmarket in 2017~2018 to mostly buy second hand games, CDs and booklets from Surugaya / Auctions, and it was fairly smooth to use (although their service fee has shot up to 500 yen per item from 300 yen as of 2026
).
Seeing all the gorgeous upcoming titles makes me tempted to preorder games (mainly for the bonuses and especially the Stellaworth booklets which are often still quite pricey at second hand shops) but I've yet to buy anything in recent years and would love to hear how the experiences of others are like in 2026.
