Uniqlo Japan

Why buy UNIQLO from Japan when it has stores in my country?

For the Japan-only items and the Japanese sizes. UNIQLO Japan's online store, run by Fast Retailing, carries a wider range than the overseas stores: Japan-limited UT graphic tees, collaboration pieces that were not released in every country, online-only sizes, and Japanese-market products that never leave Japan. Japanese sizes are also cut smaller than UNIQLO's US sizes at the same letter, which suits buyers who find the overseas fit large. The online store delivers inside Japan only, and sold-out collaboration pieces are resold on Mercari and Rakuma. OneMall gives you the Japanese address, pays in yen and forwards from our Japan warehouse.

Are UNIQLO Japan sizes the same as UNIQLO US sizes?

No. UNIQLO uses a Japanese size chart in Japan and a larger chart in the US and Europe, so a Japanese M is smaller than a US M, and a Japanese XL is closer to a US L. Japanese listings state the Japanese size, and resale sellers add 実寸 measurements in centimetres; compare those against a UNIQLO piece you own rather than the letter. The Japanese online store also sells sizes such as XS and XXL through 3XL online only.

Which UNIQLO collaborations do Japanese sellers list?

The designer lines and the UT graphic collaborations, by the collaborator's name in katakana. UNIQLO U (with Christophe Lemaire), JW Anderson, Marni, +J with Jil Sander, and the UT series with anime, game and artist licences are the searches; sold-out pieces are listed on Mercari soon after a release with the collaborator's name and the item.

• ユニクロU / ルメール — UNIQLO U
• JWアンダーソン / マルニ / +J / ジルサンダー — designer collaborations
• UT + title — graphic tees by licensed series
• コラボ / 完売 — collaboration / sold out
• タグ付き / 新品未使用 — tags attached / brand new

Where can I buy UNIQLO Japan items?

New from the UNIQLO Japan online store — paste the product link and OneMall orders it — and secondhand or unworn resale on Mercari and Rakuma, where collaboration pieces are relisted after they sell out. 2nd STREET carries shop-graded UNIQLO pieces.

Is it worth using a proxy for UNIQLO, given the prices?

Only when you consolidate. UNIQLO items are inexpensive, so OneMall's service fee and the international shipping are a larger share of the total than on a designer piece, and a single tee ordered alone is the worst case. The order that makes sense is a basket: several items from the online store plus a few resale finds, all delivered to our Japan warehouse and shipped once, with tees and shirts packing flat and only outerwear adding volume. At order time you pay the yen price, OneMall's service fee, shown before you confirm, and the seller's domestic shipping if charged; import duty, if your country charges it, is collected on delivery.

How do I search for UNIQLO Japan items in Japanese?

ユニクロ plus the collaboration or the item, and the Japanese size. UT collaborations are searched by the series title in Japanese.

• ユニクロ / UNIQLO — the brand
• ユニクロU / JWアンダーソン / +J — collaborations
• UT + series — graphic tees
• ヒートテック / エアリズム / ウルトラライトダウン — HEATTECH / AIRism / Ultra Light Down
• メンズ M / レディース L — gender and Japanese size
• 新品未使用 / タグ付き — brand new / tags attached

Can I order from the UNIQLO Japan online store directly?

Not from outside Japan. The Japanese online store requires a Japanese delivery address and accepts Japanese payment methods, and it does not ship abroad; the overseas UNIQLO sites carry a separate, smaller range. Paste the Japanese product page link into OneMall and the item is ordered to our Japan warehouse, then forwarded to you. Sold-out items from the Japanese store are not restocked for overseas buyers, which is where the resale sites come in.
