Prices and fees: measured by GRAILS on 29 September 2026 (ZentBuy on 8 November 2026) with the same 2 kg parcel and the same ¥200 top-up at every agent; shipping prices change often, so check the agent's own quote before you pay. Status: checked every day. ZentBuy, KakoBuy, LitBuy, HipoBuy and Sugargoo pay GRAILS a commission when you sign up through our links; that does not change these numbers. GRAILS sells nothing and is not an agent.
