My process for ordering the plushies, I intend to get all of them, was to put the link to the page in the place on FromJapan's site, where it tells you to show them what you are planning to order, in the form of a 'query' which has taken a day now, going on two, to fulfill. Was there any way I could put the order in straight away, or do I have to wait another few days for the query to come back? I also don't mind the 10 item cap, I intend to buy less than that.
Ordering on a shop using FJ they have to manually look at the item's page to confirm its price and that its available before they okay it to purchase. So you can't put in an order straight away sadly.
On your "shopping service list" tab under your profile you'll see a list of items that you input on the search bar. If there is a --- next to the "Price:" line on the item it is still being reviewed. If you see a price it means it was reviewed and okay'd to purchase and will be in your "shopping cart" tab to go through with actually buying. It usually takes a day to review then another day to purchase. But sometimes it can be done faster or slower (especially during the weekend and holidays).

Here is an example of what it looks like:
The top item is under review and still pending with the --- next to the price.
The bottom item was reviewed and has a price next to it. (This is also what it looks like once it has been purchased and is at the warehouse ready to be shipped to me)
https://i.gyazo.com/3d13783621d0cfb0e3e ... 955a1b.png

Also keep in mind the 10 limit is being enforced for the proxy as a whole. They're still available on fanema but the issue is fanema is limiting 10 of each item per address/account and seem to be counting each proxy as 1 individual account. So each proxy is only able to buy 10 of each item for all customers combined using the service.
So, if 1 person using FromJapan buys 5 gin plush and another different person using FromJapan buys 5 gin plush that is 10 total bought and has maxed out the gin plush for the FromJapan account. And no more customers using FromJapan can buy them.

I'd recommend trying a different proxy linked here by Regnant: https://gingamerch.com/shop/

I hope this helped and you are able to get some items.

If you ordered early, it went through, and the purchase was confirmed then you're okay. ~
It's just more recent and new orders that might run into this issue of not being allowed to purchase after the 10 item max per person.

I did mine late Friday, so I guess I did mine early maybe?

EDIT: Hold on I literally just got n email talking bout the Gin plush keychain was cancelled and refunded lmao

EDIT 2: Okay my Akame and Riki plushes were cancelled too but the others went
Which is,,, really funny bc I initially was gonna go with just Ben and John so I guess the universe was like "yeah no, you have no more room in your house"

Thank you very much! I will go with the other proxy, it sounds easier. I've gone through with the steps from before, and they've gotten back to me with the quote, and it doesn't seem like there's an option to change it. I'm glad there's still at least a couple weeks before the deadline for ordering! Hope you got what you wanted too!

I'm working on writing up full instructions for other proxies as well, such as Zenmarket and Treasure who can still buy the plush from FaNeMa (as they haven't reached limits yet).

A lot of the non-plush item have still been able to get through because they aren't as popular buys.

I'm not sweating it, Ben and John were really the only characters I wanted so I'm relieved those two made it
But hopefully it worked out for you!!!

I've updated the GingaMerch info on proxies to help everyone with using a new proxy! ZenMarket and Treasure have been working well for people, not sure when they might reach the order limits. Otsukai however would be one that would pretty much always work.

Gotta love how these plushies look cute and all and still keeping the visual identity of the manga characters untouched. I'd buy some of these
