Need a proxy with low wait time

I wanted to use Sophie but it says I’m queued till October. Are there any other proxies that I could use that would be more immediate or have a much shorter wait time? Is there a list of reputable proxies anywhere?

Ayumist (specialises in FCS, SD stuff, other proxy stuff too including yahoo auction, xianyu and taobao) - I think she mainly operates on discord.

Dunno about low wait time though; this is Tan season

What are you looking for? I’ve been thinking of offering a proxy service for forum members, but haven’t had time to set anything up until now. If you want to be my test pilot maybe we can work something out 😄

If you were to offer a service, I'd mostly be interested in the things that a larger service won't touch, specifically but not in any order:

• Places that only do e-mail orders, especially those that only ship within Japan
• Dealer shops (in person or online)
• In-person shopping @ Volks, Azone, etc. I've always wondered if the selection in-store differs from what we see online. 

I don't have specifics atm, but I'll hit you up in the future if you're interested.

Yeah for sure. The shops offer stuff that’s sold out online and also older stuff that doesn’t sell as well. The only problem is that you never know what’s available at the store until you go.

Full disclosure—I can hit up the physical stores in Akihabara until this Sunday if OP (or anyone else I guess?) needs immediate service, but after that I’m going to be out of commission for a month while I nurse my dog back to health (he’s having a major heart operation today and will stay at the hospital for a week, after that he has to rest for a full month so I’m basically housebound for most of it). I guess that gives me a month to figure out the details? 😅

Sorry I already went this ayumist but if you are considering starting a service I will try you next time. There’s definitely a market for more proxies I feel like. I only hear about ayumist and Sophie and JDD.

No worries and glad you found someone to help you get your stuff!
