External pressures & service fee change
While we’re thrilled about the enhancements and value they bring to your experience, we also find it essential to admit the global inflation and more notably the weakened yen are placing ZenMarket under pressuring circumstances. Namely, this shift is greatly affecting our operational costs both within and outside Japan.
To uphold the exemplary service and quality you deserve and to foster continuous improvements, we find it necessary to make a modest adjustment to our pricing structure.
Effective October 18th, 2023, our service fee will be revised from 300 yen to 500 yen per item. We sincerely hope for your understanding and support, as this is our first price adjustment in nearly a decade, a decision reached with thoughtful deliberation.
What we're currently working on to continue improving our service
We are working on several steps to add value and alleviate the impact of this adjustment.
- 🏢New Warehouse: We’re unveiling a new warehouse for faster and better packing.
- 🛡️Better Protection: We are enhancing our insurance conditions to ensure that should any issues arise with your items or parcels, you will receive better and swifter compensation.
- 🔍Improved Search: Our tech department is working hard to provide a more refined and cross-platform search on the website for a smoother shopping experience.
