importing stuff from japan

[parrot]

There are numerous agents in Japan who can do this for you - for a fee.

You can bid yourself and if you 'win' the auction, they arrange for the seller to ship to them, they then pack it up and ship to you. Thus you get charged for them enabling you to do it, cost of postage to them, cost of packaging by them and cost of shipping to you. Which all adds up but when item cost is so cheap ......

Bear in mind some items cannot be sent due to weight and/or length.

Some agents have better reputations than others and fees vary considerably. They all have different rules too so research carefully.

I have not personally used one......yet, but have been sorely tempted, especially now $1 Australian dollar is equal to 100 yen

Rinkya is meant to be one of the better ones I believe
