Want to Buy Japanese Snacks? Use Personal Buyer Service (Jasa Titip)!

Japan is famous for its delicious culinary delights. Not only that, Japan also has many tasty snacks that are definitely worth trying. Unfortunately, the cost of traveling to Japan is not cheap. Moreover, the travel time is quite long, so it is not practical if you just go for a short visit.
For those of you who have yet to have the chance to go to Japan to taste various delicious Japanese snacks, you can use personal buyer service (jasa titip) to get those tasty snacks for you. However, you need to be careful when choosing a personal buyer to avoid unwanted situations.

Tips for Choosing Japanese Snack Personal Buyer
1. Reputation of the Personal Buyer
Try to find out the reputation of the personal buyer you choose. You can do this by reading reviews from previous customers who have used their service. Were they satisfied with the service? Were the items received in a good and intact condition? And, how did the personal buyer respond when there were issues? You should try reading reviews from more than one user to get a more objective assessment.
2. Cost Transparency 
A professional personal buyer should be able to provide a clear picture of all the costs that the customer will pay. For example, the personal buyer might take a 5% profit from the total price. Then, will the shipping cost be calculated based on the volume or weight of the items? All these costs should be explained in detail to avoid issues after the transaction is completed.
3. Guarantee 
Snacks, even packaged foods, are vulnerable to damage, usually due to poor storage or during shipping. How will the personal buyer be responsible for damage to the items when you receive them? If the personal buyer does not provide a guarantee, you must be prepared for the risk of damaged items during transit.
4. Halal Certification
Although this point does not apply to all customers, it is very important for Muslim customers. Japan is a country with a minority Muslim population, so the number of halal foods, including snacks, is relatively few. 
Therefore, for Muslim customers, try to find a personal buyer who understands this and is willing to find safe snacks for you to consume, especially if you only know the type of food you want without knowing the brand.
