ZentBuy is a reasonable starting point, but it is young, and its exchange-rate markup is not the lowest. Here is when another agent may suit you better.
Reasons to look elsewhere
- Your items are expensive, so exchange-rate markup costs more than freight.
- You need longer storage to collect items slowly.
- You prefer an agent with a longer track record.
- You need a particular payment method or duty-paid route.
Two common alternatives
| Exchange-rate markup | Storage | 1 kg to Germany | |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZentBuy | +11.2% | 90 days free, 120 maximum | ¥106.34 |
| KakoBuy | +8.7% | 180 days | ¥153.10 |
| LitBuy | +18.2% | 90 days free, 120 maximum | ¥160.57 |

What to check on any agent
- The exchange rate applied at checkout, compared with mid-market.
- Freight after discounts on your real route.
- Fuel, handling and declaration fees.
- Free storage length and what happens afterwards.
- How many free QC photos you get.
- Which source platforms are supported.
Most spreadsheet links carry a plain item ID, so a list made for one agent can often be used with another.
