Hi I just had a question about the payment to this company. There are 3 forms of payment. One is some kind of Japan Net Bank the other is Post Bank and the other is Paypal which I know how to use but if I use paypal they will tack on 4% to the cost. Also can somone tell me if the prices are good on this site for shipping japanese items to the USA? The site is DANKEBOX - Storage and Worldwide Shipping Service from Japan

If you're outside of Japan, then Paypal is the cheapest. In fact, most banks outside of Japan don't recognize Japan Net Bank as a real bank. Not sure what Post Bank is, but I'm sure it's something along the lines of JNB.

I don't know much about these services, but another one I checked charged 5% extra for PayPal. So, it seems to be the approximate going rate for the service.
Japan Net Bank and Post Bank (actually the financial service arm of Japan's Postal Service) are for people who have accounts with them in Japan.
Looks like PayPal is the only way to go.
Please note that these services usually are independent companies not affiliated to vendors or manufacturers of Japanese products and therefore demand extra for their services. Also, they recommend buying in bulk, because small purchases can become expensive. You must also expect to pay customs duties upon arrival of the package in the US, depending on the type of goods you buy.
Hope it helps!
