Shipping forwarder. I used one to ship a Japanese G-Shock (a model that was Japanese sold-only) to my home in the USA - only took 5 days!
That's an awesome suggestion, returns could be a bit of a stickler. The major limitation is the requirement to provide export documentation, something the original shipper won't include for a domestic shipment. They may also open the package to determine its legality, something one would have to live with.
That said, the freight forwarding quote for a Turbo X size package was $35 via DHL and $14 via USPS. Via USPS my total would have been $175 US ($233 CDN) plus shipping fee from Riva to my faux US address, if any. I paid $311 CDN vs. $230-250 using the forwarder. I'm not sure it's worth it in all situations.
