Zenmarket

Has anyone here used zenmarket (https://zenmarket.jp/en/) to buy a guitar from Japan?

Online stores in Japan often have guitars I like but never bought one due to a lack of understanding and a comfortability factor of getting the guitar to me. There are also guitars in Japan that are not distributed here in the U.S.

Thanks in advance

Have not used zen market but buying from Japan was great for me. I think you have to keep it under a certain amount to not pay import fees. Can’t remember what it is.

Zenmarket I think requires you to have money deposited with them and then you can spend it, so it's a bit awkward.

I use FromJapan and they have been great.

Mine was an indie seller from reverb. Guess there are folks who hit the music stores taking pictures and listing stuff. You buy from them, they pick it up and ship it. Usually a little cheaper than buying from the stores.
