Shipping from BookOff?
BookOff does not offer international shipping, which means that to have BookOff products delivered directly to your home, your best (and only) option is to use the services of a purchasing intermediary such as ZenMarket.
Finally, let us point out that with BookOff, delivery is free within Japan if your order total is over 1,500 yen (around $10-$11). If your order is less than that amount, you may have to pay for domestic delivery to ZenMarket's warehouse in Japan.

3. Find Products
You can find products on the BookOff site by navigating the tabs and sub-tabs.
On the BookOff website, you can search for products by category . From left to right there is:

- コミック (comics/manga)
- CDs
- DVD・ブルーレイ (DVDs & Blu-Rays)
- ゲーム (Video Games)
- セット・まとめ買い (Sets & bulk purchases
Once you have chosen a product category you can filter results according to genre (science fiction, adventures, etc.), and even by target audience (children, families, adults, etc.).
As the site is well-organized, articles and new features are easy to find. However, if you already know exactly what you are looking for, you can search for it directly in the search bar at the top of the Book Off Store home page.
Please note that searching in Japanese tends to give significantly better search results, so it might be worth translating your search terms ahead of time.
