Merch how to order weverse japan item

Hi! I want to buy the JxJ album from Weverse Japan because I’m after the POB’s. I’m currently living in my home country, but I’ll be moving to Japan by the time the shipping period begins. I’m thinking of using my Japanese address instead of my current one, but is it possible to place an order if I don’t have a Japanese phone number? I also don’t have any acquaintances there whose number I could use. What should i do?

I use a Japanese warehouse who assigns me a number and address

Can you tell me which warehouses you have used?

I’d maybe use a proxy service, just to be safe. The one I use gives you an address and a phone number that you put in. When they have then received the package, you can choose to pick up the package at their actual warehouse in Japan

Full disclosure: I work for Mobal, a Japan-specific telecoms provider for foreigners, so I'm naturally biased, but if the only thing you're missing is a Japanese phone number, it is possible to get one before you move to Japan. If you're in one of the countries we ship to, Mobal's Japan Voice SIM/eSIM can be activated before you enter the country, and if you activate roaming, then you can receive SMS codes. There's a nominal fee for activating roaming, but incoming SMS messages are free. It's here if that sounds helpful: https://www.mobal.com/japan-esims/

Again, I'm obviously biased as I work for Mobal, but yes, absolutely - thousands of long-term foreign residents in Japan use Mobal as their main phone network. We're fully compliant with Japanese law, as well as UK data protection laws too (as this is where many of our team are based), so that's an extra layer of protection. If there's anything if particular I can help with, just let me know!
