Cross-Border E-Commerce Marketplace
Proxy Purchasing & Cross-Border E-Commerce Solutions
Building on over 10 years of experience in cross-border logistics and our own bonded warehouse located inside a Japan Post facility, Meito Inc. offers proxy purchasing (buying agent) services as its core business, enabling overseas customers to easily buy Japanese products.
Through API integration with leading Japanese e-commerce platforms including Amazon.co.jp, Rakuten Ichiba, and Mercari, we synchronize inventory, orders, and tracking in real time. We handle everything through to in-house customs clearance and forwarding as a single, seamless service.
Do Any of These Challenges Sound Familiar?
You want to sell overseas, but the logistics seem too complex to get started
Customs and duty procedures are complicated and cause you concern
Handling each e-commerce marketplace separately takes too much effort
You want to hold inventory within Japan for same-day shipping
With Meito, you can solve all of these at once.
What Is Proxy Purchasing?
When overseas customers want to buy products from Japanese e-commerce sites or physical stores, Meito purchases the items on their behalf within Japan, inspects and consolidates them, and forwards them overseas. We eliminate the barriers of language, payment, and export procedures all in one service.
Order Placement / Product URL Submission
The customer sends the URL or product number of the desired item. We accept requests via our own platform (Maimaiti) or by email.
Meito Purchases on Your Behalf in Japan
Meito staff purchase the product on the customer's behalf from e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, Rakuten, and Mercari, or from physical stores.
Receipt & Inspection at the Meito Warehouse
The product arrives at our own bonded warehouse (Osaka) located inside a Japan Post facility. We inspect the exterior, quantity, and accessories.
Consolidation & Packing
By consolidating multiple orders into a single box, we optimize shipping costs. We also adjust the packing method to suit the customer's preferences.
Customs Clearance & International Forwarding
Our in-house customs department processes the export declaration. Through the JPGOODBUY forwarding network, we ship to more than 100 countries.

After shipping, we provide a real-time tracking number. Our bilingual Japanese-Chinese support team assists you all the way through to completed delivery.
