I purchased A DreamV yukata using their Mbok shopping service as well as I used them to order directly from Qutie Frash. They offer a huge variety of shopping services online and the best part is it's only 200yen no matter what!
Mbok Auctions:
I placed my order through their form within less then 24 hours my bid was posted. I wasn't really in a rush so I cannot say how they are on last min bidding but as a general service they were great they did bid the same day for sure. It is a pay ahead service; you have to put up what you're looking to bid before they will bid. Once I won the Item I received an email and also an email when the product had arrived at their warehouse. The shipping was a little slow with this but that's most likely the seller's fault not them. I then had the option of shipping or waiting for anything else, you have 30 days for them to hold on to items.
Direct online shopping service:
I ordered this about a week after my Yukata. The amazing thing about this is the item I order comes in many colours [link], when you go to order it shows you little pictures of the items so you can show them exactly which you want. There is also room for other options if they is one (like size,ect) This shipping took about a week, again I received an email right away. I should also add you have to choice of fast or slow shipping domestically.
Once both items were in the warehouse I requested shipping. This is where their customer service became awesome. there was bad weather in tokyo at the time and they were moving warehouses. I really needed the one item for halloween and they rushed out my order for me despite all the issues they were having.
The other thing i should mention is they have options on how you get items, if you want the original packing from the store, or if you want it to be packaged so it's lighter and more. they included all the free stuff from qutie frash as well!! (folders that have beautiful art on them and candies ^_^
they are for sure worth checking out!

Tokyo Pirates
Website here
First off her rates have changed since I've used her. So i will not talk about them but they are fair both now and before.
I had a great experience with tokyo pirates, she was awesome. I wasn't sure at the time i was going to get holy lantern (the in store japan i didn't have money for), and i missed both chances online. So i was more than thrilled she could help me!
Tokyo pirates was going to do an online for me but I was too slow in replying so i missed the online so she checked in store and told me white and black were still available. I definitely wanted it so she put it on hold and picked it up that weekend! It was a pretty basic service, she was great in that she doesn't charge you until she knows she can get the item for you. I hate putting money into paypal just to withdraw it back into my bank account.
She shipped right away( i think it was the day after she bought it). I think this is the first SS that was ahead of me. haha I was so happy with everything in her service. She was always quick to respond and polite!
The package came in about 3-4 days (EMS), It was wrapped nicely and even had a thank you note. I know this isn't nessacary but it always makes me happy when packages are pretty and have at least a note. I will definitely use her again and I have already haha.
