Mail Forwarding Options from Japan to US

I took this route to get my FX700s, and I'm glad I did.

I used Tenso.com - The total shipping cost was about $25, which was far less than the markups from the import shops. The site gives very clear instructions: When you order your headphones you ship it to the address they provide, and upon receiving the package they quote you a shipping price and then after you pay it's on it's way.

Honestly the hardest part of the whole process for me was getting the Japanese store site text translated so I could properly enter the address info.

UPDATE:

Ha! i also ordered FX700 from amazon japan and used tenso.com  They arrived today which put the total time from the day I ordered from amazon Japan to the day it shows up at my door at 1 week.. Really fast,  especially considering it took a couple days to get to tenso's facility, and that there was a weekend in there.

My experience with tenso.com was excellent! very easy to use, email updates every step of the way, and of course even with their $25 fee i saved a substantial amount of money over every other purchasing option i found.  So glad i found people's recommendations about this.

I also liked how i could set the value of the package so that it did not look like i was importing such an expensive item.

i dont know if it saved me any money, but i was not feed at all for importing from japan. ( i valued my package at about $25)

I give tenso.com an A+  Highly recommended.

on a side note - its funny how items shipping from overseas - India, Japan, China for example, often arrive at my door faster than packages shipped from within the US.
