YahooJP auctioning tips/advice

Hey just wondering if anyone here has experienced the cost influx of buying/forwarding packages from Jp?

I’ve been using ZenMarket/Buyee for about 2-3 years and it was great at the start because you could under declare packages but it’s been a few months now and now packages cost 40$+ then another 50$~ in duties once it arrives to me in Canada.

Has anyone found alternatives to this?

I know TikTok and other platforms has kind of blown this up as well so I’m not sure if it’s all the attention and new blood they bring which is making these services cost more or something…

Would gladly appreciate some tips/tricks, I think I have approx 50-60 packages forwarded through Zen alone so I’m pretty familiar but I might also be doing things wrong…
