How to pre-order from Japan

[shadowtiger25]

So Tenshodo announced a re-run of a brass model I've been wanting to get for a little over 10 years now.

They don't ship overseas and I have used Zenmarket.jp in the past to order from their online model shop, but I've not used them to pre-order.

If Zenmarket.jp can't do that pre order does anyone here know how I could another way?

Perhaps try contacting Model Train Plus or RG Rokko and see if they can preorder it for you.

Perhaps RG Rokko if I can't find another way

 

Interesting development though with this. I found out about the preoder because I had messaged Tenshodo about possibly getting a replacement connector for my diecast C62-2's Quantum sound system as wires have broken and I can't repair them.

The overseas representative offered the pre-order to me so maybe I don't have to worry?

I've used RGR to purchase at other vendors.  They are charging a little fee but RGR is reliable and very honnest

 

I let You see.

If Tenshodo offered to take a pre-order, there is no need to use RGR, ZenMarket or whatever other proxy service.

I honestly didn't expect that when I started the thread. Even on their website it says they don't ship overseas but the overseas representative I was speaking to says you can but you have to email and request it. I'm inclined to believe them as I contacted Tenshodo first to ask about a possible replacement part for a loco
