ZenLuxe is an online marketplace connecting sellers of mainly pre-owned designer items in Japan with overseas users.
With hundreds of Japanese stores and tens of thousands of pre-owned designer items available at any given time, ZenLuxe gives overseas users direct access to the world's highest quality resale market. Buy from one, two or as many stores as you like, with the same cart, and ZenLuxe will check your items before carefully packing and shipping them internationally.
ZenLuxe is operated by ZenGroup Inc., an ever-growing Japanese company with a global focus located in the heart of Osaka. Other web sites owned and run by ZenGroup Inc. include ZenMarket.jp, ZenPlus.jp and ZenPop.jp. Please check our corporate site for more details.
Here's a breakdown of the order process on ZenLuxe:
ZenLuxe.jp, ZenPlus.jp, and ZenMarket.jp are all owned and operated by ZenGroup Inc. in Osaka, Japan, but they serve different shopping needs.
ZenLuxe.jp vs. ZenPlus.jp
Both ZenLuxe.jp and ZenPlus.jp are online marketplaces where you can buy products directly from Japanese sellers. However, there are some key differences:
ZenLuxe.jp vs. ZenMarket.jp
On ZenLuxe.jp orders are paid by credit card or Paypal at checkout and if Express shipping is selected, that is also charged at checkout. When items arrive at the ZenLuxe warehouse, they are checked and prepared for international shipping as soon as possible and shipped out.
ZenMarket.jp is a proxy shopping service, meaning it helps you buy from Japanese websites that don’t ship internationally. A customer can order items and store them in ZenMarket's warehouse for up to 60 days and arrange for international shipping. Payment for orders on ZenMarket.jp are done by loading your account before buying. Shipping cost is calculated when you are ready to ship your items.
The ZenLuxe sellers' agreement compels all storefronts on our platform to list only authentic items. Japanese laws regarding selling non-genuine brand items are very clear, penalties are harsh, and importantly, authoroties do their best to protect buyers in general.
If you receive an item that you think may not be authentic, please send photos or videos along with a detailed description to our support. Through our buyer’s protection policy, you may be eligible for a full refund.

The seller ships your item to the ZenLuxe warehouse in Osaka, Japan. Our staff checks your item and confirms it is the same item as described in the listing. All items in your order are then consolidated into a single package and shipped internationally. For large orders, items may be shipped in multiple packages.
Domestic shipping from the seller to the ZenLuxe warehouse typically takes 2-3 days. Some sellers may need more time as they might have multiple brick and mortar stores around the country and the order is dispatched to one of their stores before shipping to ZenLuxe.
International Standard shipping from from the ZenLuxe warehouse to the customer typically takes 7-14 days. If the parcel is held in customs, it may take longer than this. International Express shipping from the ZenLuxe warehouse to the customer typically takes 2-5 days. Courier companies usually handle customs procedures in the destination country making the process faster.
Domestic shipping within Japan from the seller to the ZenLuxe warehouse is handled by each seller who chooses their preferred carrier.

Fee amounts and requirements depend on your country and its customs regulations. As such, we unfortunately aren't able to provide customs fee estimates or advice on our end. Please check with your customs office for specific info about your case (such as the US Customs Office).
It is the buyer’s responsibility to pay any duties charged. Our service does not cover customs duties and import taxes.
Since the IOSS was first introduced on July 1, 2021, we have been informed by the postal service that there are still several ongoing issues that may cause VAT payments to be unsuccessful. The vast majority of our orders to the EU are unaffected by these issues, however, if you are asked by either the customs authorities or the post office to pay VAT for your order, you are required to pay.
Please be sure to request a receipt for this payment and send a copy to our support. Upon receiving your receipt, if we are able to verify that you were mistakenly charged twice for VAT, we will be able to refund the VAT payment that you had initially made to us.
We are sorry, but we’re unable to contact the customs office of your country regarding your order. For the vast majority of orders, the customs process is completed within a few days, but in some rare cases, it can take weeks. If retention is indicated, please contact the post office or the delivery company.
Once in the hands of the customs authorities of your country, your order processing time is completely at their discretion. If for some reason your item is held in customs for an extended period of time, we apologize for being unable to do more and humbly ask for your patience until it is released.
Orders can be canceled free of charge for two hours after placement. Cancel via your Orders page. For returns after receipt, see F-4. I want to return/replace an item or get a refund.
We're sorry for the inconvenience. This can happen when a seller is late updating their stock availability. Please remember that most sellers on ZenLuxe have brick and mortar stores or other channels where they also sell their items.
Another reason this can happen is that the destination country does not allow for the item to be imported. Examples of this are exotic materials such as certain types of leathers and liquids such as perfumes. When an item is at risk of not being allowed for shipping an information box will appear on the product page.
The full price and shipping fee for canceled items will be refunded. For multi-item orders, refunds for canceled items will process after shipment from our warehouse, as we need to understand the updated weight and size of the package to calculate how much of the original shipping fee should be refunded. Refunds are issued within three business days, but please note that card refunds may take additional days.
Items cannot be exchanged. If an item is canceled, you'll receive a full refund for that item’s price and shipping fee. The remaining items will ship as normal.
Returns are allowed within 30 days of receipt, depending on the reason:
Please contact customer support before returning any item and for details regarding returns.
ZenLuxe updates the prices during each day to reflect the most recent currency exchange rates. This means that in the case of a refund, the refunded amount may differ from the original charge in your local currency. Refunds are based on the JPY amount received at the time of order.
