Hi - Andrew referred me to this site to share stuff. I've ordered from Mandarake before. This site is pretty much a hub for 5 or 6 different shop locations. If you find one book and place it in your basket, then find another book from another store and place it in the same basket - you're basically paying shipping from two different locations. Sort of found that out the hard way. order.mandarake.co.jp/order/?lang=en

I just submitted an order from Mercari through Buyee on 13 July, I'll update the post with my results. I did have to submit each item as a separate order, so lots of fees involved, but stuff would otherwise be unavailable internationally. Buyee is a proxy service that also covers Yahoo Auctions and Rakuten. BuyeeUpdate: 19 July - My separate items had all arrived at Buyee and were consolidated into one package and prepared for shipping to me. DHL is the only reasonable shipping option due to COVID-19, apparently. Update: 24 July - My single consolidated package arrived. I paid for "protection" which turned out to be copious amounts of bubble wrap. My books were well-packed and safe. It isn't cheap, but it seems to be a safe way to get stuff delivered from Japan!

Ordered from Mandarake on 13 July, package delivered on 20 July via DHL. Pretty fast! Items were individually bagged and wrapped together in bubble wrap and stuck to the bottom of the box so they arrived as-advertised.
