# How to buy from Digimart

Pedals and other small gear. A guitar is a different parcel.

Estimates only. Not a quote, not a customs ruling, and not an offer to sell or ship. Confirm fees, prohibitions, and duty with the proxy and with destination customs. Figures can change after the last-verified date.

JapanLanded may later earn a commission when someone uses a referral link. Affiliate enrollments are not in place, so outbound links are public pages, not tracked referrals. We do not sell the goods. Names of proxies and products are used to describe them and are their owners' trademarks.

## What Digimart says

The English guidance page is the primary source: overseas buyers go through a proxy, and ZenMarket is the one they recommend. The OneMall walkthrough covers guitars, pedals, and synths and should be read as a proxy's own article.

There is also a r/guitarpedals thread about the same pedal appearing at several Japanese shops, including reports of the wrong item arriving. That is a buyer-risk note, not a fee.

## Worked example

22000 yen, 500 g, United States. Export check: nothing in this dataset blocks export to United States. Use check: Japan is 100 V. Eastern Japan is 50 Hz and western Japan is 60 Hz. Voltage was not confirmed. Read the label. 100–240 V usually means a plug adapter. 100 V only needs a step-down transformer. Effects pedals usually use a separate AC adapter. Amplifiers need extra caution. This does not block export. It is about whether the gear will run. This is not a customs clearance.

| Proxy | Pay now, known | EMS reference |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Buyee | ¥22,650 – ¥24,000 | ¥3,900 |
| ZenMarket | ¥22,500 | ¥3,900 |
| Neokyo | ¥22,850 | ¥3,900 |
| Tenso | ¥22,280 | ¥3,900 |
| FROM JAPAN | ¥22,000 | ¥3,900 |
| White Rabbit Express | ¥22,000 | ¥3,900 |

These partial sums are not a landed total. No cheapest and no fastest proxy. Domestic postage, payment fees, and the proxies' own international rates are missing or ranged, and no transit times are stored. Naming a winner would invent a number.

## Steps

1. **Copy the yen price.** Read the price on the listing yourself. JapanLanded does not fetch the page.
2. **Weigh it, or say you didn't.** Enter grams. If you leave weight blank, the tool uses an unsourced placeholder and labels it.
3. **Read pay-now separately from arrival.** The partial sum is not a landed total. Duty amounts are not calculated.
4. **Check whether it can leave Japan.** Lithium batteries, alcohol, and 100 V gear each have their own note. The result is not a customs clearance.
5. **Order on the proxy's own site.** Outbound links are public pages until affiliate programs are enrolled. We never take payment.

## Questions

### Is ZenMarket always the cheapest way off Digimart?

Digimart recommends them. Our dataset does not show them as the lowest landed cost. Their per-item fee is transcribed; their domestic postage is not.
