And you intend to buy something from the BUCK-TICK Official Web Shop

You might have come across this notice below which prompts you to click on International Orders if you do not live in Japan.

Do Not Click International Orders

That is unless you want to use their designated service provider, FromJapan, to buy your things.

If you’ve ever used them before, you’ll probably have a ton of complaints about their services and how troublesome they are to use.

Fret not.

There is a way around this.

This is a tutorial on how to bypass FromJapan*



*Do note that you will need to have a Japanese address to successfully do this. Forwarders like Tenso can be used.

Step 1: Click on the black button (閉じる) in the red box as shown below.

This will close the notice and let you into the webshop normally.







Step 2: Click on the Login Button.

That’s the red button (ログイン) in the blue box below.





Step 3: Login*

*But do not log in using your EMTG ID.

See this? The site will automatically pick EMTG ID as your method to log in, but you can choose the second option, which is to use your FISH TANK ID.

Clicking on it will change the login page slightly to show this:

The ID field now indicates “FISH TANK 会員番号”.

Now you can log in to your FT account without getting kicked back to using FromJapan.





Step 4: Adding a Japanese delivery address.

Once you’ve logged in, you’ll arrive at My Page (MYページ) where you can find all the usual details you’ll see regarding your account and orders.

As mentioned at the start, you’ll need an address that is situated in Japan to successfully carry out this bypass.

To start adding an address, click on the button (お届け先追加・変更) in the blue box shown below:

When the page has loaded, press the red button (新しいお届け先を追加) in the blue box below:

A pop-up will appear for you to fill in your Japanese address. It will look like this:







Once you’ve filled that it, voila! You’ve done it!

You can now order anything you want from the webshop without worrying about FromJapan hindering you!

Not to worry about payment too, because there doesn’t seem to be any country restriction so all cards (as far as I know) are accepted!
