So today I found out that JYP Japan Store now offers international shipping directly from their website. The items are more expensive when using other currencies compared to JPY ¥, but you seem to get a flat shipping fee no matter the amount of items you add to your cart. I tried adding 20 Anorak jackets to the cart and the shipping was still AUD $20 and the method is Express Courier (Air). At the checkout page, they have also stated "The total amount you pay includes all applicable customs duties & taxes. We guarantee no additional charges on delivery."
As an example, PHOTO T-SHIRT TWICE『ENEMY』cost ¥4,800 but it cost AUD $63.00 on the website now. In the past, when using proxy services to purchase from JYPJ Store, you would have to pay taxes and the shipping fee were always insanely expensive. Now that we're able to purchase directly from JYPJ Store, it saves us a huge amount on shipping fee and we can buy the items immediately without having to wait for the proxy services to purchase them. Sometimes by the time the proxy services would make the purchase for you, some items would get sold out.
At the moment, only merch are available to purchase directly from the website. In the future, they might let us purchase albums directly from them as well, which would be nice especially since the shipping fee is flat cost

Wow. 8 dollar shipping sounds amazing for the times when all I want to buy is the photocard set and acrylic stand. I used to love taking advantage of buyee’s packing consolidation to buy a bunch of photocards tho lol.
Some of the price jumps is crazy tho. The jacket goes from 10k yen ($67) to $130 (usd).
Surprising news! I compared how much my recent Buyee order (3 sets of live trading cards) would have cost buying from JYPJ Store directly and it’s about the same total cost (with Buyee being slightly cheaper). So not necessarily a huge savings depending on where you’re located and what items you’re buying.
For reference, I’m in the US.
wait this is hugeeeee news! it’s been years since I’ve bought any twice Japan albums or merch… just cause shipping costs an arm and a leg 😅😭
This is incredible to hear
