For the past few months I've recieved a great deal of questions about how I've gone about ordering from Japanese webstores-- specifically, Liz Lisa! ❤ I've tried to answer all of the questions to the best of my ability, but there's only so much I can explain in my novel length worthy replies. I think what everyone needs is a visual :)
But, first off,
I've bought all of my cute LL clothes through a forwarding service called Tenso . . . [click] this service is extremely reliable, easy, and quick! I believe the only downside to it is that it's quite expensive X: when I bought my lucky bag from Liz Lisa, I paid almost just as much for service fees/shipping as I did for the bag. So it's like I bought two lucky bags > < I almost died. But I do not regret my purchase at all because Liz Lisa is absolutely worth it!! Alrighty~~ I'm babbling lol anyways,
LET'S BUY CUTE STUFF!~ ❤
Step #1: Get started with Tenso.
Go to the Tenso website, change the language to English, click Free Registration~ all in the top right corner. After you register you will need to go to your email, and click on the confirmation link. When you do so head back to Tenso, and click on the "My Page" tab.
There you will find your personal Tenso address to use at check out when you shop at Japanese webstores. :D :D
Your number is just for you so the Tenso peeps know which package belongs to who!
Step #2: Sign up for a webstore, and start shopping!
I'll be using the Liz Lisa webstore as the example today I know sHOCKER lolol
At the top of the page click on the "register" button.
after you're all done, scroll down and click the big pink button!
Then check your email for an account comfirmation link~

MMKAY LET'S SHOP :D :D
LET'S BUY THIS DRESS! supah cute, and perfect for spring! also on it's on sale :D
I tried to translate this to the best of google translate's ability lolol~ but to clear a minor thing up "Total Length" is from top to bottom, and then "Length" is from where the transparent collar ends to the bottom. [hope that made sense, ah!]
If it is any more help, I am 5'1 and around 92 lbs. My Liz Lisa dress fits me perfectly length wise, but it's just a little bit loose. However, it's not very noticable! Liz Lisa tops fit me perfectly, and bottoms do as well!! :)
Step #3: Check out
When you're all done check your cart, and click on the pink button to pay.
WHO'S EXCITED AFJDKLSDJFKL
go back to Tenso, and copy+paste your address!
I color coded everything so I hope that makes this part a little easier :)
click the pink button when you're done!
ALL DONE!
You should recieve an order confirmation email from Liz Lisa shortly, and then you'll get another one once it has been shipped~
Once your item has arrived to the Tenso warehouse, they'll send you a payment request [through email] for EMS shipping + service fee. I use PAYPAL to pay! Shipping is super fast, and I usually recieve my item within a few days! :D
IMPORTANT NOTE: EMS shipping is EXPENSIVE. For me, it's usually around as much as I paid for the items I ordered.
OK it took me FOREVER to finish this post~ I really hope that you can take something from it, and I hope that it makes you feel more comfortable with purchasing from Japanese webstores! I also hope you buy lots, and lots of cute clothes now so we can all be super cute. ❤
