Is there anyone here with a Japanese address willing to help me out?
Post Posted: Wed Sep 25, 2024 11:57 am
A month or two back I won an auction for a few games from the hated competition, as well as a lightgun for that system. I sent it off to Forward2Me so they could mail it home to me, only to find out that they've changed their policy in the last couple of years. When I first discovered them two years ago, I used them to ship me a pair of Japanese Zillion laser tag guns, but now they're saying my only option is to either send my items to a Japanese address or let them throw it out.

So is there anyone here with a Japanese address that would mind holding on to three games and a zapper until I can figure out a way to get them to me? Worst case scenario, I'd sooner just give them away rather than throw them out, but I'm hoping there's maybe someone out there that can help me out.

If anyone can help me out I'd really appreciate it.

Very much appreciated. I'm trying to figure out how to get this thing sent to me but they're only giving me a window of 30 days. I know it's possible because I see sellers on ebay selling this exact same item from Japan for international export, but there's no clear cut instructions on how to do it or what service to use.

Did you figure this out? I know there's some guys on LaserDisc groups that import from Japan quite often and might know of some place to use. Where are you located?

I'm still trying to figure out something. I'm out in California and I'm not too worried about any restrictions out here as I've been shipped Zillion guns a bunch of times, but I guess the rules on Japan's part have gotten a lot tighter in the last two years. The service I've used in the past is now refusing to ship, and from what I've been reading online, most of the preferred services for shipping toy guns are no longer providing that service.
