Japanese shops and online auction sellers don't sell to overseas buyers for the most part. For this reason you will need to employ a shopping service to buy from Japan. A shopping service will buy you the item you want for a fee; each service charges a different fee, but the fee should not be all you consider when you choose which shopping service to use.
This list includes a brief overview of each shopping service's features. Always read over a company's policies and fees before doing business with them!
