Hey guys, I've noticed that quite a few items that I've been interested in have come in quite cheap from Amazon Japan.
Is there a way to search for items from Amazon Japan…or are these items that people have found by accident?

holy shit mate you're a hero! thanks so much!
Me too! I check my wish list almost everyday and last night about 5 books were significantly discounted, all suddenly shipped from Japan. Mostly retro-gaming books like Masters of Doom for $14, Floppy Disk Fever for $7 and 3x books from Chris Scullion like the The N64 Encyclopedia: Every Game Released for the Nintendo 64, Snes, Dreamcast (pro order) all at about $15-$20 cheaper than the lowest ever. I wonder why? Did we have delivered by Amazon Japan before? Discount or promotion available there at the moment?
have a link to some of these books?
Amazon doesn’t make it easy, but this often works:
Using the app: filter by “Amazon global store” and “Prime international shipping”; then if you set a price filter, often (but not always) a filter for “seller” will appear, allowing you to choose “Amazon Japan”.
Go to Amazon.jp, create an account, do a search and tick the 'International Shipping Eligible' filter on the left. Will pick up more items than going through the .au site.
Something weird happened yesterday.
Like 90% of the items previously available on Amazon Japan are now "unavailable".
All OzBargained, lol
That was my first thought but it's too widespread.
Like literally 90% of all items that were available from Amazon Japan are now:
"Currently unavailable.
We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock."You can search here:
https://www.amazon.com.au/s?me=A2K69GP4EI3XWZ&marketplaceID=…
Especially prevelant with PS4/switch games. But everything is affected with Amazon Japan as a seller removed from basically every item I can see. Some are still available from 3rd party sellers but Amazon Japan as a seller i can't even find anymore.
I've noticed this to be the case too! sometimes it will show me something available at the lower price, but when i open up other sellers, they wont be listed! It seems to be resolved
probably they realised some bugs/errors with the prices, from the hundreds of sudden gundam order from australia in the last few days
I was waiting for someone to say something, as I noticed the same thing. Something funny is things that I added to my cart to decide on later are still there and I can order them. But if I go to the actual product page, then Amazon Japan doesn't exist as a seller option.
edit: seems Amazon Japan back now (for the items I was looking at).
If you keep refreshing the page, you will be able to add most of them to your cart eventually.
Go to any deal posted here about amazon japan.
Click the item.
Scroll down a bit till you see sold by amazon japan
Click that amazon japan (in blue)
Tadaaaaa
You arrived at amazon jp storefront.
Enjoy the search
