How to Buy from TicklingDuck + International Shipping Guide
If you’re interested in buying from TicklingDuck’s store on BOOTH (Japanese EC) and shipping overseas, here’s a step-by-step guide:
1. Visit the TicklingDuck store
Go to: TicklingDuck on BOOTH
On their page they state:
“For customers residing outside of Japan, please use the following international shipping services. … If you use our international shipping service, please let us know in your user message that your items will be shipped outside of Japan. We will pack your order in a way that is compatible with sea or air shipping to prevent damage to the product.” ticklemachine.booth.pm
So you’ll want to place the order as you normally would in the BOOTH store, making sure to mention in your message that the order is for overseas shipping.
2. Prepare to use an international forwarding / proxy shipping service
TicklingDuck recommends using Tenso as the forwarding service. On Tenso’s website you can find a guide explaining how it works: register → you get a Japanese-address (“Tenso address”) → you shop at Japanese websites using that address → Tenso receives your package in Japan → they ship it internationally to your home. tenso.com+1
In short, the steps are:
Register with Tenso, obtain your Japanese forwarding address. tenso.com
On the BOOTH store, use that Japanese forwarding address as your shipping address.
Wait for Tenso to receive the parcel at their warehouse. They will notify you, register the parcel, weigh it, etc. tenso.com
Choose an international shipping method (EMS, AIR, SAL, Surface) and pay the shipping fee.
Your package is sent overseas to you.
Be sure to check whether the product is allowed to be shipped to your country and check customs/import rules. tenso.com
3. Important Notes & Tips
When placing the order on BOOTH, in your “user message” (or note to the seller) clearly state that the item is for overseas shipping so the seller knows to pack appropriately. ticklemachine.booth.pm
Using a forwarding service means you’ll likely pay: item cost + domestic shipping (inside Japan) + forwarding service fee + international shipping cost.
International shipping cost depends on weight, size, destination, and method (EMS is faster but more expensive). Tenso has a shipping calculator.
Some items may be restricted for export or for import to your country — always check.
If you’re buying multiple items, it can be efficient to have them all sent to the forwarding address and then consolidated into one shipment overseas (if the service allows).
Keep in mind import duties/taxes in your country may apply when the package arrives.
