You have to use a proxy service unless you have a physical japan address. I purchase crap all the time from YJA and I will let you in on a little secret. Most of the time, by the time you win the auction, pay the fees, then have it shipped over, your paying right in line with what you would find the same thing for here stateside from places like ebay or amazon. Then you have to wait longer for it to get here cause lets face it, its going over the biggest ocean. If you do decide to take the plunge, let me know I may have a invite code for the proxy I use. Oh and one last thing DONT EVER CHOOSE "SURFACE MAIL" its quite literally "the slow boat from china"....
